New supermarket to bring more jobs

A new Pak'nSave at the recently-opened Tauranga Crossing retail development is expected to bring more than 130 jobs and low supermarket prices to the booming Bay of Plenty.

The eagerly anticipated supermarket at 2 Taurikura Drive, Tauriko, at Tauranga Crossing, was officially opened by Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby on September 27.


Pak'nSave opened its doors yesterday.

The store will provide more than 130 job opportunities to the Tauranga community.

Pak'nSave Tauriko owner-operator Jon Morrison says a lot of time and effort has gone into choosing people, who are passionate about being in the world of groceries for the 130-plus jobs.

'The team is well trained and excited to be able to give our new customers a great Pak'nSave experience.

'I've got some really talented butchers and bakers, and we have a checkout team ready and waiting to ensure our customers leave the supermarket with a smile on their face.”

Jon is looking forward to supporting the growing Tauriko community by offering a great range of high quality, fresh products at Pak'nSave's lowest supermarket prices, but also by really getting involved in the area.

With a retail floor space of 3380m2 and the latest retail designs in place throughout the store, customers can expect their supermarket experience to be a lighter, brighter Pak'nSave experience, says Jon.

'The combination of new, modern serve-over counters and lots of natural light means customers will be able to easily select their favourite piece of salmon or eye fillet.”

Playing an active role in the community is also something on Jon's radar.

'Once we find our feet I am definitely looking forward to becoming an integral part of the wider Tauriko community. Supporting local schools, sports team and community groups is something I am passionate about.”
