Levin New World Supermarket - Retail

Client:          Foodstuffs (Wellington)

Project Brief

Mainzeal has completed another outstanding supermarket refurbishment for Foodstuffs Properties. Levin New World’s new look now gives the shoppers a very enjoyable experience.
Mainzeal has completed many projects with Foodstuffs Properties (Wellington), and understands the factors necessary for working in and around an operating supermarket. Clear communication, plenty of flexibility and absolute reliability are the key attributes required.
Mainzeal’s most recent makeover was for Levin New World. The existing supermarket was extended by 950m2, given a full facade face-lift, and received an internal refurbishment to the existing store including grinding and polishing the existing concrete floors. The store now has a modern and fresh feel and features low-maintenance materials.
The extension accommodated a new garden centre, produce centre, cafe, and office facilities. The interior fitout included new joinery throughout, new back-fed milk area, new bakery fitout, and a completely new delicatessen area. The mezzanine floor office area was reworked to accommodate a new beer and wine area underneath, and back of house works included a produce preparation area, bulk delivery zone, chillers and an electrical plant room.
The project’s exterior materials included concrete panels and a glazed entry with zinc and cedar cladding. Design features to the extention interior included polished coloured concrete to the floors and concrete benchtops in the garden centre. Recycled macrocarpa beams were suspended in the produce area, which also carries feature lighting.
External works included carpark alterations, lighting and a new secure storage area.
