Ko wai mātou – About us
Kia ora. We’re Foodies. You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us! With 300+ stores and over 24,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co-op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life. Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.
Our Co-op is built on a legacy of ownership - and we’re committed to ensuring that legacy thrives for generations to come. Ownership isn’t just a business model; it’s the heartbeat of Foodies. The way we identify, attract, and develop our future Owner Operators is one of the most powerful things we do.
