\u201cNew Zealand is an important part of Kmart\u2019s growth story.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the first New Zealand store to feature our Plan C+ format, Westgate brings together a more convenient shopping experience with the everyday low prices New Zealand families know and trust. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to open our doors and become part of the local community next month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kmart New Zealand surpassed $1 billion in annual sales<\/a> for the first time in its June 2025 financial year.<\/p>\n

Owned by the Australian group Wesfarmers, which also owns Bunnings Hardware, Kmart NZ reported total revenue of $1.022b for the 12 months ended June 30, 2025, up 2.3% from $999.5 million in 2024.<\/p>\n

But its bottom-line net profit fell 3.7% from $106m to $102.1m on the back of higher expenses.<\/p>\n

The Herald previously reported the new Westgate Kmart will be just over half the size<\/a> of Costco Wholesale across the road.<\/p>\n

Kmart will offer its biggest range of affordable homeware, furniture, electronics, toys and clothing from the new store.<\/p>\n
