New owners for Blenheim PAK’nSAVE By Robbie Parkes Mark Elkington and Andrea Boock will be the owners of the Blenheim PAK’n SAVE. The supermarket is to be built and completed by early next year. Mark and Andrea currently own Blenheim New World, but Foodstuffs will be looking for new owners. “I guess they’ll put it on the market later in the year,” said Andrea. She said they put their application in three weeks ago for PAK’n SAVE, and the Foodstuff board approved them last Tuesday. “I guess it was a business decision even though we have had a lot of memories here at New World.” “It’s also a move up the ladder for us, we’re building a brand new store.” The couple have owned New World for two years. “There’s an excitement that comes with starting from scratch.” Robinson Construction Limited is in charge of the building process and excavation on the site is being done within the next week, with work expected to start after that. The new supermarket is part of the $56 million

Westwood shopping complex being built on Middle Renwick Rd. PAK’n SAVE is the sister company of New World. Andrea said it was an easy move. “It is quite different and it’s a lot bigger and it’s a lot more price driven,” she said. The New World staff have been really supportive. “They are enthusiastic about the change,” she said.
