Wednesday September 2 2020 Selwyn Times Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz OPINION 17 CHANGE? The Rolleston New World supermarket may become a Pak’N Save. New World v Pak’N Save – your views Readers respond to last week’s article about New World Rolleston possibly becoming a Pak’N Save Anne Seyger – It’s a definite no from me. I don’t want another boring big food barn in Rolleston. The New World provides an excellent service with a variety of special products and imports, and is run by an amazing management team. All staff are super-friendly and helpful, which can’t be said for any of the huge super stores. Margaret Allan – We have shopped at New World since moving here 11 years ago and would strongly oppose any change. Our New World supermarket is far superior to Pak’N Save and Countdown in that it has a much better range and quality of stock. Also the staff are very helpful which I have not encountered at these other supermarkets. I have shopped at Pak’N Save in Hornby for convenience on occasions and would never support that supermarket if it came to Rolleston, neither would I shop at Rolleston Countdown for anything other than the odd item for convenience. Also what would happen to our New World Club Card? It has proved to be very beneficial to customers. We do not need another supermarket such as is proposed and I would be very disappointed if these plans went ahead. I must add that I am not alone in my concern. I know New World has a very loyal customer base whom I am sure would be of the same opinion. Jenny Daniels – I would be very disappointed if the New World supermarket Rolleston was closed down.

I do not consider Pak’N Save to be an acceptable substitute. I find products at New World that I can not find elsewhere, including venison and stilton cheese and a larger variety of blue vein cheeses. I find Rolleston’s New World Supermarket a comfortable place to shop in without the excessive number of high shelves to find my way round. New World supermarkets have always been my choice wherever I have been living in New Zealand. Heather Weir – I am very disappointed to hear that there is a plan to change the New World Rolleston to a Pak’N Save. New World has many different brands and items that neither Countdown nor Pak’N Save provide. It is also streets ahead with its bakery, meat and fruit and veges, and deli section. I feel the lower end of the market is already catered for with Countdown and so New World is needed. If this goes ahead I will be travelling to Lincoln to buy my groceries and that’s not good in a town this size to only look after one end of the market. Sally Steele – I have shopped at New World Rolleston since it opened, but will definitely shop elsewhere if it changes to Pak’N Save. Paul Lancaster – No we do not wish to see a Pak’N Save supermarket here in Rolleston, as you will know it will lower the tone of our district and look terrible. The New World could be increased in size if Foodstuffs wish. From a personal point of view if the New World stays it will save us a trip to Lincoln New World. Suzanne Seddon – I would like Pak’N Save to come to Rolleston. Peter Daniels – I think that New World should not be replaced, there is a Pak’N Save only 15 minutes from Rolleston, and so it does not make sense to have two so close together. The staff at New World are very friendly and helpful. The layout of the shop means items are easily seen and found. If a New World has to be replaced may I suggest the one at Lincoln would be a better candidate, given that there are more students in the town. Further, I have been told by some Lincolnites that they come through to Rolleston to do their New World shopping. R Moore – I am deeply concerned at the possibility of New World being replaced by Pak’N Save. They are such different supermarkets Pak being less selective like Countdown and New World being, more discerning in its products. As there is already Countdown in Rolleston it is important for customers to have more diversity available to them therefore New World should not be replaced by yet another lower end supermarket. Sharyn Bailey – I definitely would not like to see the New World Supermarket changed to a Pak’N Save in Rolleston. New World is way ahead of Pak’N Save in many ways. New World has much more variety, the shop is much better set up and displays are so much better. The staff are so friendly at New World and always there to help. Please don’t change to a secondrate supermarket. I have shopped with New World ever since moving to Rolleston in 2001 and have been very, very happy with it. I also shopped at New World for the previous 15 years before I moved up here. Please let New World stay. Anne Farrington – I would love to see the existing New World supermarket in Rolleston converted into a Pak’N Save. I am a big fan of Pak’N Save as I am sure that many Rolleston residents are. They have a wide variety of stock at low prices and often in bulk buys, which is great when you have a growing family to feed. I currently travel to Hornby Pak’N Save each week to do my grocery shopping, and to be able to do this in my own community of Rolleston would be excellent. Pak’N Save has a commitment to low prices all the time (not just relying on the odd weekly specials like other supermarkets), and with the current economic climate, we could definitely all benefit from cheaper grocery bills. The idea of having a community cinema is also very appealing. We have a rapidly growing community and I am sure that an investment in a cinema would be a very welcomed idea and a very successful financial investment for our community. Rolleston residents want to put their hard-earned money back into their community – let’s hope this becomes an option for us. Val Roxburgh – l do not want the New World to become a Pak’ N Save. I do not like Pak’ N Save stores. They don’t always carry items that are always available in the New World and I don’t want to pack my own groceries. The staff at New World do the packing so quickly and easily. I have Shopped at the Rolleston New World for 16 years and have always found that they give an excellent service. All the staff are always there to help or take you to where the item you are looking for is. Not so at Pak’ N Save. You are lucky to find anyone there to help. Also Roy Bridgeman, the owner of the New World, has been wonderful and so generous in giving to the community. The staff at the New World become friends when you shop a lot there and they get to know you. As for pulling down the building that was upgraded not so many years back is like some of some other decisions that the council here is so short-sighted. The way Rolleston is growing there is probably room for another supermarket. So leave our New World as it is.
