Mitre 10 Advances Plans for New Store in Rolleston

Plans for a new Mitre 10 store in Rolleston have gained momentum following a recent decision by the Selwyn District Council to rezone land adjacent to the new Pak’nSave supermarket. This change removes previous obstacles that had delayed the establishment of the hardware chain in the area.

The Selwyn District Council approved the rezoning in November 2023, paving the way for the Mitre 10 outlet to be built next to the supermarket, which is expected to open in early 2024. The decision is seen as a significant development for the local community, which has been advocating for a hardware store to serve the growing population in Rolleston.

Local residents have expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of having a Mitre 10 nearby, as it will provide convenient access to a wide range of home improvement products. The store is anticipated to enhance the retail landscape in Rolleston, offering an alternative to existing hardware options in the region.

Mitre 10 has been actively expanding its presence across New Zealand, and the new location in Rolleston is part of a broader strategy to tap into emerging markets. The company’s commitment to supporting local communities is evident in its plans to employ local staff and engage with regional suppliers.

The Selwyn District Council’s decision reflects an ongoing effort to accommodate commercial development in response to population growth. According to the council, Rolleston has experienced a significant increase in residents over the past few years, making it essential to meet the demand for retail services.

In addition to the Mitre 10 store, the area surrounding the Pak’nSave is set to become a retail hub, with further developments planned in the near future. This transformation is expected to create jobs and stimulate the local economy, benefiting both residents and businesses in Rolleston.

As construction of the Mitre 10 store begins, local stakeholders remain optimistic about the positive impact it will have on the community. The store is expected to be a valuable addition, providing essential services to residents and enhancing the overall shopping experience in the area.
