Richie's Market is a supermarket at 106/110 Marine Parade, Wairoa 4108. The directory lists the area as Tauranga, but the address and postcode are Wairoa, so check the location before you travel. It keeps a Facebook page.
A good small-town supermarket keeps its shelves stocked, its produce fresh and its prices clear, with staff who can point you to what you need. In a town such as Wairoa, which is a long way from the next big centre, a local market is where many people do their main shop, so ranges and prices matter, and it is worth checking specials and use-by dates and comparing unit prices rather than pack prices. Fresh produce, bread and meat are best bought close to when you will use them, and regulars shop at quieter times, bring their own bags and keep a list to avoid impulse buys. Check the Facebook page for opening hours, news and specials before a special trip, and bring a card and some cash.
For people in Wairoa and northern Hawke's Bay, Richie's Market on Marine Parade is a local place to shop for groceries.
