A major win for North Shore shoppers is on the way, with Foodstuffs North Island confirming that resource consent has been granted for a new PAK’nSAVE in Takapuna.

The large-format supermarket will be built on a 9,826m² site and is expected to open in 2029.

At 6,461m², the new store will include nearly 200 carparks and is forecast to create over 200 jobs, helping to support families across Takapuna and surrounding suburbs.

While the exact location hasn't been publicly shared yet, the development promises a significant boost for the area.

Not only will it bring more access to PAK’nSAVE’s famously low grocery prices, it also introduces a thoughtfully designed building that accounts for flooding risks on the site.

The store’s retail level will sit above an undercroft carpark and feature a custom civil engineering setup to safely manage stormwater and flood challenges.

“This is a thoughtfully designed development that responds to the site’s constraints,” said Lindsay Rowles, General Manager of Retail & Property at Foodstuffs North Island.

“We’re incredibly excited about our plans to bring PAK’nSAVE to the Takapuna community.”

Recently ranked second overall in the 2025 Kantar Corporate Reputation Index, PAK’nSAVE has held the top spot for fairness for nine years running, reinforcing its reputation for value and trust.

For Coasties commuting to the North Shore or visiting family nearby, this will offer another affordable grocery option in the area.
