Woolworths Mairangi Bay

The new liquor seller is too serious. She needs to check my original passport before I can buy liquor. Electronic passports say no, and my husband show his driver's license,say no . Oh my God, who gave her such great rights? I'm very disappointed. Very Bad shopping experience

This supermarket has had a great makeover and feels rather upmarket but I'm surprised they haven't made the bakery more of a feature. The bakery is certainly large enough but seems strangely sterile. Everything is swathed in plastic and a lot of the products seem to be bought in from yarrows rather than made on site. I think if they gave this area some more thought and put their own stamp on it, rather just offering the standard woolworths muffins and plastic-encased croissants, it could be a real hit. Also, a small deli counter with nice ham, bacon and picnic treats etc would make sense, given the beach and park nearby, and the fact locals wouldn't have to go to Browns Bay for these.

Sweet, just the way a beach supermarket should be. Like stepping back into the 80s, small and to the point. Has everything you need, easier than the bigger ones to get around. Staff were friendly as. Nice to get away from the chaos at the big ones.

Good location for me to grab some fruit and drink before beach volleyball games. Staff are really helpful and even pointed out better priced option. Thanks

They had biscuits by the checkouts to help yourself to, which felt very welcoming, in my opinion. That plate of biscuits wouldn't last long at all at my usual countdown. Apart from that, there wasn't as much selection as this is a smaller store. Parking is difficult to find and navigate out of.
