Wairarapa shoppers’ fresh produce options have grown a little, with The Warehouse in Masterton expanding into selling fruit and veggies last week.
The new range is a seasonal selection of produce that currently includes carrots, onions, potatoes, apples, bananas, mandarins, capsicum, avocados, kūmara, and kiwifruit.
Masterton Warehouse store manager Tiff Paku said that bringing fresh produce to Masterton is another way for the retailer to better serve the community.
“We’re really excited to have fresh fruits and veggies in our store, and they are flying off the shelves already,” she said.
“For us, it’s all about giving our customers more – more freshness, more choice, and more affordable essentials.”
The produce being offered will be reviewed weekly to ensure seasonal freshness and variety, with larger range available in store from next week.
Warehouse grocery lead Ryan Murphy said the new grocery offering is “a direct response to customer feedback” and part of an “ongoing effort to provide more value to Kiwi families”.
