New, bigger supermarket for Sumner as FreshChoice takes over

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Sumner’s SuperValue supermarket is being redeveloped and will reopen next year more than twice the size.

Construction is under way on a new building on Nayland St next to the supermarket, which is part of the Sumner Mall on the corner of Wakefield Ave.

The existing supermarket premises and adjacent Bottle-O liquor store will eventually be upgraded and merged into the new building going up next door.

The new L-shaped supermarket will be rebranded as FreshChoice.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
