22 | Bunnings Warehouse Waipapa T T Karen Phelps Waipapa store gets big tick from locals The new Waipapa store replaced the Kerikeri and Kaikohe smaller format stores and provides a bigger and better offer. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT The new Bunnings Warehouse Waipapa has received a warm welcome from locals since it opened, says Bunnings Regional Manager Belinda Ellis-Hurrell. “It’s been a great few months since we opened our doors and we’re pleased to now be offering the community an even wider range of home and lifestyle products closer to home. We knew the community was really excited about the new store and it was a huge team effort to get everything ready for opening day last year – but it’s all been worth it,” she says. The new warehouse store replaced the Kerikeri and Kaikohe smaller format stores and provides a bigger and better offer. The new store features over 7,800sqm of retail space and provides locals with access to a four-lane drive-through trade yard, nursery, paint counter, special orders desk, tool shop, kitchen display centre, café, playground and more. It also hosts small DIY clinics for the whole family to enjoy, alongside the famous Bunnings sausage sizzle every weekend in support of community groups. “We really wanted to establish ourselves as a one-stop shop for the Waipapa community’s home, lifestyle and DIY needs, and the response we’ve got from customers so far suggests we’re doing that which is pleasing,” says Belinda. “The bigger warehouse format is allowing us to offer Waipapa locals an even wider range of products at the lowest prices. All team members from Kerikeri and Kaikohe had the offer to be transferred to the new Waipapa store. It has also created over 45 new team member jobs for locals. 25 Langley Road, Wiri, Auckland | Ph: +64 9 2783366 Fax: +64 2788595 E-Mail: davidm@grayson-eng.co.nz SPECIALISTS IN STRUCTURAL STEEL, FABRICATION & STEEL ERECTION Proudly Supporting Bunnings LONG RUN ROOFING SPECIALIST RE ROOFS • NEWROOFS • LEAK REPAIRS COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL OVER 20YEARS INDUSTRYEXPERIENCE A Licensed Building Practitioner committed to excellence Ryan at RTW is a Licensed Long Run Roofer who has developed extensive knowledge and experience in a wide range of areas in Commercial and Residential jobs.
