Countdown Mairangi Bay has reopened, with an expanded fresh food experience and convenient shopping options for local customers.
The store has been closed for the last six weeks after it was significantly damaged by the Anniversary weekend floods. During this time, the team was able to work with their food rescue partner, KiwiHarvest to donate more than seven tonnes of food and give it to Aucklanders in need.
The new-look store has undergone an extensive renovation to repair damages, with new flooring and signage to accompany a brand-new layout that introduces over 200 new products on shelves. Countdown Mairangi Bay is also growing greener, with a new refrigeration system to help to reduce energy use in store.
Some final touches are set to arrive in the next few weeks, which will include a full bakery service and revamped deli counter. These offerings will join the fresh produce section and dedicated food-to-go areas as part of the new shopping experience at Mairangi Bay.
Countdown’s Director of Stores, Jason Stockill says “We’re a proud part of the Mairangi Bay community, and we’re really delighted to be investing in our future here to provide a modern shopping experience for our local customers.
“The damage caused by the recent floods came as a significant blow. We’ve worked to ensure the safety of our customers and team in repairing the store as quickly as possible, while also making the most of an opportunity to bring exciting new updates to the Mairangi Bay store.
“We’d like to thank our customers for their kindness and patience through what has been a challenging time for the local community and an unexpected construction process.
“With a newly curated range of groceries and a fresh, modern look and feel throughout the store – we’re really proud of what we’ve built and our whole team is looking forward to welcoming customers and showing them what we’ve got to offer!”
Countdown Mairangi Bay is located at 3 Ramsgate Terrace, Mairangi Bay and will be open 7am-10pm, seven days a week.
