Night 'n Day Woolston is part of Night 'n Day, an award-winning convenience store network with over 50 stores across New Zealand's North and South Islands. The brand traces back to Dunedin, where directors Denise & Andrew Lane — retailing in the trade since 1978 — founded Night 'n Day Foodstores Ltd in 1990 with a vision to transform local food stores and build a franchise network across the country.
The first Night 'n Day stores launched in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Recognising that smaller communities had different needs, the brand later introduced stores with extended hours from 6am to 11pm, extending its convenience model more widely across New Zealand.
Night 'n Day describes its standards in one word: excellence, built around a philosophy of top quality service and top notch presentation. The network also runs regular promotions, including a recurring Tuesday deal.
Night 'n Day Woolston is one branch of Night 'n Day, a convenience retail network that has grown to over 50 stores across New Zealand's North and South Islands. The brand's roots go back to Dunedin, where it all started.
Night 'n Day Foodstores Ltd was founded in 1990 by Denise & Andrew Lane, who had already been retailing in the trade since 1978. Their vision was to transform local food stores and build a franchise network across the country. The first Night 'n Day stores opened in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill, all operating around the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week — a genuine point of difference at the time.
As the network grew, Night 'n Day recognised that smaller communities didn't always need round-the-clock trading, so it introduced stores with extended hours running from 6am to 11pm instead. That flexibility let the brand's signature convenience model reach more of the country, adapting the format to fit different-sized towns and neighbourhoods.
Night 'n Day sums up its standards in a single word: excellence. The brand describes a commitment to top quality service and top notch presentation across its stores, with Denise and Andrew Lane remaining fully committed as company directors to this day.
Night 'n Day runs regular promotions across its network, including a recurring Tuesday deal that's become enough of a drawcard that the brand's own website jokes it's "honestly probably why you're visiting" when customers land on the promotions page. Customers can check current deals directly through the Night 'n Day website.
Night 'n Day is a member of the Franchise Association of New Zealand, reflecting its structure as a franchise business rather than a single company-owned chain. The brand actively promotes franchise opportunities for people looking to join the network, alongside its retail operations.
With stores stretching from Whangarei in the north to Invercargill in the south, Night 'n Day operates a genuinely nationwide footprint, including its Woolston location in Christchurch. Customers can find their local store, check current promotions, or get in touch with feedback through the Night 'n Day website, with the brand also offering a delivery option for added convenience.
