Countdown Supermarkets – Christchurch Earthquake Update #2
Countdown Supermarkets – Christchurch Earthquake Update #2
Today’s earthquake in Christchurch continues to disrupt operations at several Countdown supermarkets.
Our priority at this early stage remains the safety of our staff and our customers. We continue to assess damage to stock and clean up as necessary.
Countdown Rangiora and Hornby are now open and trading for customers. No other Countdown stores will be reopening this evening. Countdown Northlands, Bush Inn, Kaiapoi, Avonhead, Moorhouse, New Brighton, Northwood and Church Corner are currently closed and are expected to reopen during the course of tomorrow, following (and subject to) engineer and safety checks.
Countdown Colombo St remains closed until further notice. Countdown Eastgate was evacuated and re-entry is subject to engineer checks.
Countdown Ferrymead and The Palms remain closed from the February 22 earthquake.
All distribution centres remain open and operational.
Online shopping services in the area have been suspended until further notice.
Further updates on operations and details on store closures will be made available in due course. The latest store openings with any changes will also be available on the Countdown website at www.countdown.co.nz and on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/countdown .
