Ngaa mihi

The Saunders family would like to thank the Fairfield community and wider Hamilton for the incredible support you've shown us over the last five years while we've owned and operated Four Square Heaphy Terrace. It's been an amazing journey.

When we first took over, the store looked very different. Thanks to your support, we've been able to create a modern, refreshed store for Fairfield and create 10 new jobs for our local community.

This store has been more to us than just a business. Some of Lilah and Emmett's earliest memories were made here, running around the aisles, helping put stock on shelves, and even sleeping in a portacot in the office. Four Square Heaphy Terrace will always hold a special place in our family's story.

Sadly, it's now time for us to say goodbye. If you haven't seen us around the store much lately, it's because we've started a new chapter in Porirua, taking over New World Paremata. Alex will be in store all weekend as we prepare for the change of ownership, so please feel free to stop by for one last chat and farewell.

On Monday morning, we hand the keys over to Satnam and his family, who currently operate a fantastic Four Square in Te Kowhai and are excited to continue building on what has been achieved here. Please note that the store will close early at 7pm this Sunday for stocktake.

We will miss the friendships, conversations, and connections we've built within this community, along with the incredible team members, past and present, who helped make everything possible. We couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you for everything.

Alex, Laura, Lilah & Emmett Saunders
