Happy New Financial Year! We hope you’re keeping warm and have managed to get some down time relaxing with family and friends, despite how hectic things can be in the retail world at this time of year!
Inside this issue of the Lowdown, we wanted to reflect on some of what we have learned and achieved together already over the course of 2022. It’s been a busy year with inflation and rising prices continuing to dominate headlines, and so it feels very timely to take a step back and celebrate our successes despite all that’s been going on. In this edition, we have a look back at how we’ve celebrated Matariki at Countdown, a profile of one of our growers, a peek inside our newly opened stores, how we’re continuing to show up for our communities, news from our sustainability team and much more!
It’s a bumper issue and hopefully you enjoy getting a look at all the different things going on across Countdown. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to get in touch with us feedback@ countdown.co.nz or through your usual category contacts. We’d also like to say a massive thank you to all of our supply partners for their support over the last few months, and we’re looking forward to catching up with you all a bit more regularly over the rest of the year and sharing more about what we’re all up to. Ngā mihi nui, Steve and Pieter
