Night 'n Day Hagley is the Riccarton branch of Night 'n Day, one of New Zealand's most established convenience retail networks, located on Riccarton Road in Christchurch. The Night 'n Day name has been part of New Zealand street life for decades: founders Denise and Andrew Lane have been retailing in the trade since 1978, and Night 'n Day Foodstores Ltd was founded in 1990 with a vision to transform local food stores and build a franchise network across the country. The first stores, launched in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill, offered round-the-clock convenience, trading 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the network later introduced stores with extended hours from 6am to 11pm to serve smaller communities.
Today Night 'n Day is an award-winning network of more than 50 stores across the North and South Islands, and a member of the Franchise Association of New Zealand. The brand's stated philosophy is top quality service and top notch presentation, with standards summed up in a single word: excellence, reflected in every aspect of the business.
The Hagley store brings that format to Riccarton: a neighbourhood foodstore where locals, commuters and passers-by can pick up everyday convenience items and grab-and-go food. As part of a national network, the store also plugs into Night 'n Day's regular promotions — including the well-loved Tuesday deal the brand teases on its website — and the wider support of a company that has been family-run since its earliest days.
Whether it's a quick stop on the way home, a top-up shop, or a handy local on Riccarton Road, Night 'n Day Hagley offers the familiarity and consistency of a brand that has spent more than three decades refining what a New Zealand convenience foodstore should be.
On Riccarton Road, in the heart of Christchurch's Riccarton neighbourhood, Night 'n Day Hagley carries one of the most familiar names in New Zealand convenience retail. It is part of a network of more than 50 stores spanning both the North and South Islands — a network that describes itself as an award-winning leader in retail convenience, committed to a philosophy of top quality service and top notch presentation.
For a store that trades on being there when you need it, the heritage matters. Night 'n Day's story is a family one: Denise and Andrew Lane have been successfully retailing in the trade since 1978, and as company directors remain fully committed to the Night 'n Day Foodstores franchise to this day.
Night 'n Day Foodstores Ltd was founded in 1990 with a clear vision: to transform local food stores and establish a franchise network across New Zealand. It all started in Dunedin, and the first Night 'n Day stores launched in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill offered something genuinely useful — round-the-clock convenience, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
As the brand grew, it recognised the needs of smaller — yet, as the company puts it, mighty — communities, introducing stores with extended hours from 6am to 11pm so the signature Night 'n Day convenience could reach every corner of the country. Today the network is a member of the Franchise Association of New Zealand, and its standards are summed up in one word the company uses itself: excellence, reflected in every aspect of the business.
Night 'n Day Hagley brings the network's foodstore format to Riccarton Road. The idea behind a Night 'n Day store is simple: a clean, well-presented local shop where you can pick up everyday convenience essentials and grab something to eat or drink on the go, backed by service standards the brand works hard to keep consistent from store to store.
Because it's part of a national network, the Hagley store also connects to the brand's regular promotions. The Night 'n Day website openly teases its famous Tuesday deal — "that's honestly probably why you're visiting," the homepage jokes — so it's worth checking the promotions page before you shop to see what's on.
Night 'n Day makes it easy for customers to have a say. Its contact and feedback form lets you pass on a compliment, raise a complaint or share general feedback, with a store selector that includes Night 'n Day Hagley directly. One practical note from the company: head office doesn't reply on weekends or public holidays, so messages sent during those times get answered as soon as the team is back.
The brand also runs a delivery section on its website and stays active on Facebook and Instagram, where it shares updates on what the network is up to.
You'll find Night 'n Day Hagley at 11 Riccarton Road, Riccarton, Christchurch — a busy, well-connected stretch of one of the city's main suburban shopping streets, making it a natural stop for locals and anyone passing through. Since Night 'n Day stores around the country operate on a mix of formats, from 24/7 stores to extended-hours stores trading 6am to 11pm, it's a good idea to confirm this store's current opening hours before a late-night trip. Three decades on from that first round-the-clock store, the brand's promise remains the same: dependable, convenient and close to home.
