A supermarket built to plug the “massive hole” in one of the most deprived communities in Hamilton is nearly set to open its doors.
Nawton residents are getting a brand new and the biggest independent supermarket in New Zealand, FIFO – Fresh In Fresh Out, after eight months of living in a suburb with no supermarket.
Owners Manish Thakkar and Rakesh Patel aim to open next Saturday, May 4 in a huge boost for the suburb which lost its Countdown supermarket after a barrage of theft and other setbacks.
But the new operators say could be offering something potentially better as they will have a wide variety of products in store thanks to no longer having to order through any one supplier’s product range.
Thakkar says they have been awaiting a liquor license approval from Hamilton City Council, but are going ahead without one at this stage.
