PAK'nSAVE Rotorua

PAK’nSave Rotorua is a large warehouse-style supermarket known for its competitive prices and wide selection of groceries, similar in feel to stores like Costco or Lidl. It offers great deals on everyday food and household items, making it a popular choice for locals and tourists looking to save money.nnThe store features a bakery, deli, seafood, and dairy sections, and accessible parking. We appreciate the low prices and the volume of products available. We found similar items cheaper here than Woolworth, although some more expensive brands are not available.nnStaff are helpful. The store environment feel busy but checkout lines are efficient. Overall, the supermarket is a go-to for those prioritizing affordability over a polished shopping environment

Huge grocery store with a wide selection of items - both from NZ and elsewhere. Lots of checkout lines, so lines still move even when it’s crowded.

I read quite a few bad reviews on this place so it was quite tentative about visiting, but I'm quite glad that I decided to try it anyway. On arrival this is a very large store and had a lot of fresh produce which I had no trouble with as all of it that I brought from here was good quality and did seem to be fresh. I had no problems with the staff whatsoever and on further reading some of the reviews here I I'm hoping that the member of staff that has caused all the trouble I've read about may have been removed? Also, I feel that some people do not seem to understand that you need to be able to produce your passport to by alcohol here and that it is not good enough to just have a foreign driver's license, this is shown throughout the store so people should be aware of it and it is the same everywhere else in New Zealand. I had no problems whatsoever buying alcohol here. I have not personally encountered any staff who were not friendly. The shop itself as mentioned before is extremely big and they have quite a lot of produce here and the ceilings and shelves are extremely high filled with products. If you are in the area then it is well worth visiting to stock up on many different items including foods and drink and ready to eat and drink items and personal hygiene bits and everything else that a supermarket supplies is here. They have a pickup center for online orders which is straight in front of you when you walk into the shop, they also have both electronic checkout machines and the ones actually have staff members working them. No problems here whatsoever and definitely a good big supermarket with lots of choices.

Great products,but their idea of packing everything back in your trolley is so slow. Queues move slowly and worst experience of any supermarket. Staff are lovely though. Need to look at their European competition who are far more efficient
