Woolworths Church Corner, on the corner of Riccarton Road and Hansons Lane, gives Upper Riccarton families a full-service supermarket open seven days a week, right at the suburb’s own busiest intersection.
The store covers everyday grocery needs, fresh produce, meat, bakery and household essentials, giving families a reliable weekly shop within Upper Riccarton itself rather than needing to travel to a larger out of suburb supermarket. Woolworths describes its own commitment as providing customers with choice, value and convenience, aiming for the best overall shopping experience across its wider network of New Zealand stores.
A Woolworths Pharmacy operates from the same Church Corner site, giving families a further practical reason to combine a grocery shop with picking up a prescription or asking a pharmacist a quick health question, without needing a separate stop elsewhere in the suburb.
The store is open seven days from 7am to 10pm, giving families a wide window to shop around work, school or weekend plans. Given its position at Church Corner, close to Riccarton Clinic and Church Corner Dental Surgery, families can combine a grocery shop with a health appointment in the same trip.
