Foodstuffs North Island is expanding its New World banner in West Auckland with the purchase of a Te Atatū Peninsula site currently leased by rival Woolworths.

The grocer has bought land and buildings at 583 Te Atatū Road on Te Atatū Peninsula, with plans to redevelop it into a New World by winter 2026.   

FSNI said the site is currently leased by Australian-based supermarket rival Woolworths, which reportedly plans to close the store next month.  

“This will allow Foodstuffs North Island to completely modernise and refurbish the existing buildings, expanding the store footprint by 25% to 3,000 square metres,” it said. 

Development plans include a full structural upgrade, re-roofing and expansion, according to FSNI’s general manager of retail & property, Lindsay Rowles.
