Early progress with the new supermarket

The old Woolworths supermarket in Tawa closed its doors for good on Monday 7 November 2011. In its place a New World supermarket will rise from the ashes (so to speak). In the meantime a small temporary store is operating in Tawa Mall next to the old supermarket, and a shoppers' bus is making three return trips to Porirua New World each day.

The old building is being completely revamped, a process which started at the beginning of December. The new supermarket will be one third larger than the old one. All going well, it is hoped it will be ready for business in July.

These pictures record some of the development taking place.
