The supermarket,  located in the centre of Ormiston and the future town centre, is considered a key part of the delivery of the first stage of the town centre led by Todd Property Group on council-owned land in conjunction with Panuku Development Auckland.

Director of development at Panuku Development Auckland Allan Young says it is a major step towards the creation of the town centre.

“Ormiston is an important project for South East Auckland, providing much needed services and amenity for the rapidly growing communities in the area. We’re delighted with the progress made to date by Foodstuffs and Todd Property and the opening of the supermarket signals an important step in the wider transformation of the council owned land."
