The Ponsonby Countdown was near new condition. They decided to fully renovate it at others expense whilst they close other stores. new flooring lighting etc and decided it was a good idea to relocate every item to a new area. They said they weren’t passing on these costs. They have, as In this instance I contacted the suppliers and they said they had not put forward a price increase notice on the items in the photo of in store since the renovation.

I am a full-time world traveler and visiting New Zealand for three months. I have shopped at this Woolworths store three times and I absolutely love it! I love the fresh produce, variety and selections, healthy options and the incredible cleanliness and organization of the store! I hope there are Woolworths throughout New Zealand during my three months visiting here!

I wish you horrible designers would actually realize how painful your self service check outs are when you are forced to use them and have over $100 of shopping. You know, but just choose to ignore it in the name of profits.

This is a nice Countdown in Ponsby that's a bit on the smaller side. It does have a large selection of wines if you're looking for something to go with dinner. The lighting is nice in the produce section but the prices are pretty spendy for fruit and veg. They do have an assortment of gluten free items, which I appreciate as a Coeliac. The drugstore branded makeup is incredibly pricey. As an American, I'd never wear makeup again if I had to pay these prices for what is considered the cheapest brand makeup in the US. We did paid street parking. If there was a lot somewhere, I didn't see it. Visited February 2023.
