About Night ‘n Day Park

Night 'n Day Park is part of Night 'n Day, an award-winning New Zealand retail convenience network with over 50 stores across the North and South Islands.

The company was founded in 1990 by Denise and Andrew Lane, who had been retailing in the trade since 1978, with a vision to transform local food stores and build a franchise network across New Zealand. The first Night 'n Day stores opened in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill, offering round-the-clock convenience operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Recognising the needs of smaller communities, Night 'n Day later introduced stores with extended hours from 6am to 11pm, making its convenience offering accessible throughout the country. Across the network, the business is committed to a philosophy of top quality service and top-notch presentation.

Night 'n Day Park: Part of New Zealand's Award-Winning Convenience Network

Night 'n Day Park is one of more than 50 stores that make up Night 'n Day, an award-winning New Zealand retail convenience network with a presence right across the North and South Islands. While each store operates as part of the local community it serves, they're all connected by the same story and the same commitment to service.

How It Started

Night 'n Day's roots go back to Dunedin, where the business began. Denise and Andrew Lane, who had been successfully retailing in the trade since 1978, founded Night 'n Day Foodstores Ltd in 1990 with a clear vision — to transform local food stores and build a franchise network that could serve communities across New Zealand. As company directors, they remain fully committed to the franchise to this day.

The first Night 'n Day stores launched in Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill, and they set the tone for what the brand would become known for: round-the-clock convenience, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Growing to Fit Every Community

As the network expanded, Night 'n Day recognised that not every community needed — or could support — a fully 24-hour store. In response, the company introduced a second store format with extended hours running from 6am to 11pm, bringing its signature convenience to smaller, yet no less important, communities throughout the country.

That flexibility has helped Night 'n Day grow into the network it is today, with stores spanning both islands and a franchise model that continues to draw new operators into the business.

A Philosophy Built on Excellence

Across every store in the network, Night 'n Day describes its standards in one word: excellence. That commitment shows up in a focus on top quality service and top-notch presentation, values the company says are reflected in every aspect of how it operates.

It's this consistency — the same standards whether you're walking into a 24-hour city store or a smaller community location with extended hours — that has helped build the Night 'n Day name into one of New Zealand's recognisable convenience retail brands.

A Local Store, a National Network

As a Night 'n Day store, Park benefits from being part of this wider, established network while still serving as a local convenience option for its own community. Customers who've had a great experience — or feedback to share — are encouraged to get in touch through Night 'n Day's contact and feedback form, where enquiries are directed to the relevant store.

From its beginnings in Dunedin in 1990 to a footprint of more than 50 stores today, Night 'n Day has built its reputation on convenience, consistency and a genuine connection to the communities its stores serve — Night 'n Day Park among them.
