Melville Supermarket is a neighbourhood supermarket on Ohaupo Road in Hamilton's Melville suburb, with a 3.8 rating from 43 Google reviews. Reviews are mixed, though friendly staff comes up often, and one customer praises the drink selection. Small suburban supermarkets earn their keep as a top-up shop rather than a weekly one: bread and milk on the way home, a cold drink, something for dinner when the plans change. Because they stock in smaller quantities, expect to pay a little more than at the big chains, and check dates on chilled items if turnover is quiet. The upside is knowing the people behind the counter and being in and out in minutes, which is why regulars tend to shop for convenience locally and do the big haul elsewhere. Ask staff if you can't see something; smaller shops often have stock out the back. On Ohaupo Road, this spot is a handy stop for Melville locals grabbing the essentials.
