Foodstuffs buys Woolworths Te Atatū, plans New World

Foodstuffs North Island has purchased the Woolworths Te Atatū property, marking a significant win over its rival. Woolworths will close the store next month, leaving the area without a supermarket for over a year. Foodstuffs plans to expand the site, increasing the floor area by 25%. The new store is set to reopen as a New World next winter, promising a major upgrade for the Te Atatū community.
