T T from page 10 Harvey Norman REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Estimated to open in May 2024, the development addresses the inadequacy of the current 2,000 sqm store in meeting the demands of the local community. With a substantial increase in size to over 6000sqm, including warehousing, the $20 million project promises a more extensive and diverse suite of products. The increased footprint will accommodate the latest and greatest range of Harvey Norman’s home furnishings. Doug says the strategic location in Westwood Business Park, surrounded by other national brands, creates an optimal environment for a larger and better-equipped Harvey Norman store. With around 140 convenient parking spaces, the new store aims to redefine the Harvey Norman shopping experience for Blenheim residents, he says. In the North Island Harvey Norman has already completed noteworthy projects in Masterton and Tauranga. The store in Masterton opened in June 2023 and fills a crucial gap for residents in the region who previously had to travel considerable distances to access Harvey Norman’s products. Similarly, its new store in Tauriko, Tauranga, which is set to open before Christmas, will cater for the rapid growth in the Western Bay of Plenty. Harvey Norman has been in New Zealand for over 26 years and is amongst the biggest large format retail brands in the country. Doug says these projects not only signify the company’s commitment to growth but also its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of diverse communities across New Zealand. “The expansion strategy reflects Harvey Norman’s proactive approach to changing demographics and our aspirations to provide a convenient, enhanced shopping experience for customers across New Zealand. We continue to look for further opportunities to open new stores.” Gerard Ryan 0274 313 148 Ethan Ryan 0274 259 928 Angus Ryan 0272 282 985 • Certifying Drainlayers • CCC Authorised Drainlayers • CCC Authorised Water Installers • Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Drainage and Services Installation Proud to work with Harvey Norman Residential Subdivisions Commercial Developments Drainage Demolition Residential Site & Foundation Preparation Driveways & Landscaping Rock Walls Operated by our skilled and a comprehensive range of modern plant and equipment P 0800 773 2002 E admin@pse.co.nz W www.pse.co.nz Proud to be working with Southbase on Harvey Norman Ravenswood 35
