Esplins Dairy is a dairy and small supermarket at 38 Anzac Street in Gore, in Southland. It has a 4.5 rating from 28 Google reviews.
A good neighbourhood dairy or small supermarket stocks everyday groceries, snacks and drinks, is open long hours and is a handy place for a quick top-up. In a provincial town like Gore, a local store is often the quickest place to pick up milk, bread, a newspaper or a forgotten ingredient, and the owners often know their customers by name. Regulars know that prices on staples can be a little higher than a larger supermarket's, that the owners can often order in something you need, that checking use-by dates on fresh items is wise, that a small shop is a good place to pick up Lotto tickets, ice creams and hot food and that mid-morning is quieter than after-work hours. Carry a little cash for small purchases, although cards are usually accepted, and check opening hours before you go, especially on Sundays and public holidays.
For anyone in Gore and Southland, Esplins Dairy on Anzac Street is a local shop for the everyday.
