Grocery store in New Zealand

“I went to Countdown Upper Hutt this afternoon. Rachel (stacking magazines) went out of her way to help me look for the item that I couldn't find. She made my day, very friendly staff member. Amazing customer service. Thanks, Rachel, for being so kind and helpful.”

“Very Nice, store. Employee seemed a bit, but that was fine. The spider arrives bearing news, a message for you darling. Knock on the door, and the hawk, and the dog. This is for you. Always and forever, Cathy Jo.”

“Nika has great customer service! Thank you for making our purchase easier today.”

“Ok supermarket, which is well presented. Plenty of car parking and centrally located in Rangiora. Countdown has a good variety of products. Reasonably priced with most of products that you will need. Good customer service at the check outs and reasonably easy to find assistance if you need help. This supermarket is an ok place to get what you need. Nothing brilliant stands out about this Countdown apart from it's a quite new building, so it is has a very good layout inside and outside.”

“Great customer service. Clean and tidy store.”

“I just want to give the Deli staff a shout out - they are AWESOME! I regularly pop in to grab something for lunch and they are always so friendly, and each one of them is a pleasure!”

“Upon further visits to this supermarket, I am writing a new review. I have had nothing but good experiences here. The staff are always so helpful and pleasant to deal with. I believe it will be my new favourite place to do my weekly household shopping. If you go at the right time, there are plenty of great accessible parks available, right outside the door. You will always be able to find a helpful staff member within the store or as you check out. As a person with specific access needs, I can not ask for a more helpful bunch to assist me. I do, however, still think there should be a lift available to the public for the underground parking.”

“WOW. This is the setting the standards for grocery stores. It's clean, extremely tidy, it's as if care has gone into every item. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the variety is just insane. Hands down one of the best stores I've been to in the world. You can tell people care here.”

“The store manager Sam is amazing. He went out of his way to help me and my sister, when other kmart ricc team were less than helpful!”

“A big The Warehouse with a large selection of items. Decent prices and a very big car park. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to access from both sides of Blenheim Road. Open till midnight.”

“Fantastic Staff and a really Great choice of products. Clean and hygienic. Highly recommended.”

“Shopped at Woolworths Rolleston last week with my baby and had a great experience. I prefer cashier checkout as I have a baby in my hands and always have a great experience with beautiful staff helping me at checkouts. But this last shop Sagar made my day. He was very friendly, he actually cared about my groceries so he packed them very well so nothing gets squished etc. He showed me how to use boosters in the app so I could receive more points and save more in the future. I really appreciate his service and will come back as these kind of days stay in the memory and brighten the week.”

“One of the older stores I've been in, but tidy, well stocked, friendly staff. A little smaller than other ones but efficient.”

“Friendly staff. It is a big store but easy to find whatever you are looking for. Parking is easy with under ground parks. Located in the heart of Hamilton. The main transport hub for the cities public transport is handy. Just across the road. Open till midnight. Disability parking spaces are available.”

“Always clean and tidy. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Can get quite busy at times”

“I recently visited Woolworths St James in Rototuna, Hamilton, NZ, during the evening, and I was really impressed with the quality of the chilled and meat sections. I had a specific list of items I was looking for, and I ended up spending quite a bit of time in these areas, and I’m glad I did! The chilled section was exceptionally well-organized and stocked with a wide variety of fresh products. From dairy items like milk, cheese, and yogurt to fresh deli products, everything was easy to find, and the shelves were neatly arranged. I was particularly impressed by how well-maintained the section was, with everything from fresh salads to frozen meals displayed with great care. The staff was visible in this area, arranging items and making sure everything was in its proper place, but what stood out most was how friendly and helpful they were. Even though they were busy restocking and organizing, they still took the time to greet me and offered to assist when I had questions. Moving on to the meat section, I was equally impressed. The variety of cuts and types of meat was excellent, from premium steaks to sausages and fresh poultry. The staff in this section were very knowledgeable and approachable, offering me guidance on some of the best options for the meal I was planning. They were genuinely welcoming and made me feel comfortable asking questions, even as they were actively arranging the fresh meat on the shelves. Overall, my visit to Woolworths St James was a pleasant experience. The friendly staff in both the chilled and meat sections made the evening shopping feel personal and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back for both the quality of products and the excellent customer service.”

“Absolutely Love it they got a Great selection of things at Good prices, really yummy cakes at great prices to. I got really yum cake 1.1 kg for $32 for partners Bday today.. I always like to pop in on my way down home, we only have new world which doesn't always have what I want.! :( .

“I really liked Shailin's attention, she was very kind and helped me a lot. The best!”

“Great pharmacy, always willing to help & always available for expert advice, especially Alfred who is an asset to this pharmacy. I'm extremely grateful for the individual care that Alfred and Robit give. Many thanks ✅.”

“I really enjoyed going into this Woolworths, I'm from a small city so it's always interesting to go to the bigger supermarkets. The variety of meat and produce that you have faster passes anything the smaller cities get”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always a great experience at The Warehouse! A big shout-out to the amazing team — the staff are always friendly, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to help. Whether I’m asking questions, looking for something specific, or just browsing, I always feel supported and welcome. Thank you for the consistently great service and for making each visit a positive one. It really shows when a team cares about their customers — and you do!”

“This store has a really nice layout and stays reasonably well stocked. Our favorite thing about it, though, is it's fairly quiet and peaceful. A large discount store down the road attracts the big crowds, leaving this one surprisingly empty. It's always pleasant to walk in here and not be mushed in with throngs of people in the vegetable section as other stores funnel everyone in there. In Countdown you can start shopping in whatever isle you want. Refreshing!”

“Great to see that the collectibles are being shared around! Bought a great dinner : olives, gherkins, feta, edam slices, carrots, ravioli, and ginger kisses for desert. Easy nutritious and delicious (sans kisses) 'Number free' options were a bit tricky to find but we found our healthy choices eventually.”

“Absolutely awesome shop always love shopping there as friendly staff, always got items I need and prices are kept down.”

“Its a lovely clean friendly store, had everything I needed”

“Very handy to home,plenty of parking,Countdown shopping GREAT,shoppers movement within the store flow by where all shoppers know where their items of purchase are,no matter the age group. Staff always very helpful and pleasant Central Mall also has a great free flowing movement by where shoppers have great respect for each other around them. Shop outlets have all provided safe awareness to their customers and staff. What more can anyone expect when pan/19 has made us aware of what can happen in times of a crisis. LETS ALL KEEP SAFE.”

“My favorite shop I like it better than Napier Woolworths Supermarket will be back cause you have got a good selection of GF products that Napier Pak n save doesn't have and I will be buying most of my GF stuff from Carlyle Street Woolworths Napier from now on. You had rice flakes which will replace my normal porridge which I will be buying if I like them”

“It was so pleasant worker's were very helpful directing where to pick my shopping up wonderful experience.”

“This one worker her name was Jade, I always see her there and she is the best worker I've ever seen. She once helped me out of a locked changing room, helped a little kid after they tripped, got something for this old lady off a tall shelf, hyped up this girl in some shoes she wanted to buy, and even helped this guy pick out a nice scarf for his wife. Once I accidentally was short five dollars and she payed the rest. This girl is amazing and deserves so much more than she is paid. Praise this woman she is beautiful on the inside aswell as the outside.”
