We’re proud to celebrate New World The Sands being named Runner-Up for Store of the Year at the New World Retail Awards — a special achievement for the team and our Pāpāmoa community.
For a young store, this recognition is a significant milestone. It reflects the care, hard work and energy that goes into every corner of New World The Sands, and the team’s commitment to creating a great shopping experience every day.
From the fresh food departments to the checkout, everyone has played a part in this result. It’s a moment to celebrate their efforts, recognise how far they’ve come and look ahead to what’s next.
The team says the award is an encouraging sign that their hard work is paying off, and motivation to keep improving. Their focus remains on bringing customers the best in fresh food, innovation and range, alongside an enjoyable experience every time they shop.
They’ve also acknowledged the suppliers and partners who work alongside them, and the customers who have supported the store from the beginning. That community support has been an important part of their journey, making this achievement something to share with everyone who shops, supplies and works with New World The Sands.
Here at The Sands, we’re delighted to see the team recognised and proud to have them as part of our growing town centre.
Congratulations to the entire New World The Sands team on a well-deserved result! Next time you’re picking up your groceries, join us in congratulating them.
