“Our goal is to ensure Hampsta members get value, security and choice from specialist retailers, such as the Mad Butcher, Super Liquor, Noel Leeming, Briscoes and Rebel Sport to name a few in the group. Supermarket Online is the perfect fit as a specialist retailer with the added convenience of home delivery.”

“Supermarket Online is a great new New Zealand start-up company offering shoppers choice from the big grocery duopoly coupled with exceptional customer service, and we are very pleased to have them on board as part of the Hampsta family,” says Gary.

Pia says shopping online, especially during the hectic Christmas season will be welcomed by many busy Kiwis.

“During the Christmas season, no one wants to spend hours battling crowds in a supermarket. We’re pleased to team up with hampsta so their members across the country can buy themselves extra time to do the things they love and spend more time with their loved ones over the festive season – not in a grocery store,” says Pia.
