The Foodland is an Indian grocery store at 501 Moorhouse Avenue in central Christchurch, and it has a second store at 285 Wairakei Road in Bryndwr. Its shelves are built around spices, nuts, dried fruit and snacks, and shoppers come back for the samosas as well. The store also has staples and fresh products, and it sells online with delivery across New Zealand. Delivery orders placed between 11am and 4pm get a discount, according to the website.
Shoppers praise the wide choice, the staff who help them find what they need, and the clearance prices on best-before products. Some describe the prices as reasonable. Others say the total at the counter seemed to include an added interest charge, and that this has happened more than once.
