To be attributed to Woolworths New Zealand’s Director of Stores, Jason Stockill:

Today, we have our last day of trade at Woolworths Te Atatū. We’re saddened to be leaving this special community and would like to thank our loyal customers for their many years of support.

We will close early today (at 6pm) and be giving out small treats to customers shopping with us as our way of saying thank you. We’ll also be holding a catered dinner for our team to acknowledge the end of our chapter in Te Atatū. We’re pleased that many of our team will be continuing their careers with us at nearby stores. Others have decided to make a change and move onto new opportunities, and we wish them all the best.

We look forward to continuing to serve many locals at our Te Atatū South and other nearby stores, and through online shopping. Again we’d thank the community for their kind words and support over the last few weeks.
