Foodstuffs was founded in 1922. A century later, we’ve grown to become New Zealand’s biggest grocery retailer and one of the country’s largest organisations and employers, with a team of more than 24,000.

Proudly 100% Kiwi-owned, our people are embedded in the communities we serve, with a local owner-operator in every store.

With all that going for us, we’re able to make a positive difference in Aotearoa and are committed to supporting strong communities, meaningful and safe work for our people, and protecting our environment.
