New World Blenheim owner operator Melanie Shore says, “We’re excited to share with New Zealanders what’s new in-store at New World Blenheim this summer. Throughout the renovation process, we’ve focused on how we can bring to life our fresh, new, and modern retail offering in a more environmentally friendly way.” 

One of their new features includes an eco-store refillery station. Customers can now bring used eco-store bottles and refill them with personal and laundry detergents, providing a more sustainable alternative to purchasing a new bottle each time. 

They have also implemented a ‘Food in the Nude’ produce offering; a plastic-free, fresh fruit and vege selection, where produce remains unwrapped from the farm to store shelves. The produce retains its lovely colour and texture through a misting system, keeping it fresh without the need for plastic packaging.  

Other exciting new features include a hydration station where customers can fill up their water bottles, a revamped beer and wine aisle with a specialised wine tasting machine, a new café and salad bar offering, as well as new butchery and seafood departments, bakery, and deli departments, a new entrance, wider aisles and a freezer which has doubled in size.
