Take a look inside Foodstuffs’ new storehouse, the size of eight rugby fields | WATCH

It’s Foodstuffs North Island’s supply centre, stocking groceries for over 150 of its North Island stores.

The distribution centre’s thought to be the largest in New Zealand.

It’s 7.7 hectares, equivalent to the size of eight rugby fields, and standing shoulder to shoulder, more than a third of Auckland’s population would be able to fit inside.

The supermarket giant’s spent $70 million on the fit out alone, and it’s ready in time for the Easter shopping madness.

“It’s big. And we love that,” said Foodstuffs North Island Chief Executive Chris Quin.
