P & M Growers is a supermarket at 598 Harewood Road in Harewood, Christchurch, and it holds a perfect 5.0 Google rating from its customers. A good neighbourhood supermarket earns its keep on freshness and turnover: produce that sells quickly gets restocked often, so regulars learn which days the fresh stock lands and plan their shop around it. Smaller suburban stores often carry local or seasonal lines the big chains overlook, and staff who know their regulars can tell you what is genuinely good this week. When weighing a large format store against a local one, the trade-off is usually range versus convenience — for a top-up shop or tonight's ingredients, the corner supermarket usually wins. For Harewood households, a five-star supermarket just down the road makes the everyday shop about as easy as it gets.
