FreshChoice has opened its newest store in Lake Hāwea, on Bodkin Street. The new supermarket will serve the community of 2000+ residents and provide a seamless and convenient shopping experience for locals and visitors alike.
With the next closest supermarket 16km away, FreshChoice Lake Hāwea fills an important gap in the community’s grocery shopping options. The store offers a comprehensive shopping experience, with a wide range of products, including groceries, food-to-go, fresh meat, produce, perishables, and an extensive selection of local beer and wine. FreshChoice Lake Hāwea also proudly stocks local products to support its regional suppliers.
The newly built 450sqm store is a state-of-the-art supermarket featuring the latest FreshChoice concept design, which is brought to life by their friendly and knowledgeable team of 17, who are all familiar faces from the area and truly understand their community’s needs.
“We’re immensely excited and proud to be fulfilling our dream of running our own business,” says Matt Gallaher, owner and operator of FreshChoice Lake Hāwea. “The opportunity is made even more rewarding through the incredible community and location we’ll be operating in.”
“We’re proud to have such an amazing team with us, whose knowledge and relationship to the people and area will help us to cater to the needs and demands of the Lake Hāwea community.”
“As we continue through the opening months and begin to find our footing as ‘fresh’ owners, we’ll be looking to bring more local suppliers into our aisles,” finishes Matt.
FreshChoice Executive General Manager, Tim Cartwright says the opening of FreshChoice Lake Hāwea is a significant milestone for the supermarket and the local community as it expands across New Zealand.
“Owners Matt and Dixie and their two young children are eager to serve their community. They live and breathe our FreshChoice values and I know locals are going to love having them in the community – bringing quality, fresh, and the best locally sourced products to the area,” adds Tim.
FreshChoice Lake Hāwea is located at 5-7 Bodkin Street, Lake Hāwea and is open 7am 9pm, seven days a week.
