Meet your local owners, Karen and James Backhouse.

We owned and operated Northside New World in Oamaru and Wanaka Four Square, before returning to Christchurch to take up the opportunity of opening and running New World Wigram, which opened September 2015.

Through our time as grocer’s we’ve learnt the importance of providing great customer service and engaging positively in the community. We work with local community groups to help out where we can, so if you’re local to Wigram and surrounds suburbs say hi next time you’re in.

Our goals are to provide a warm friendly service and engage with every customer. We’re aiming for a reputation as the best in service, quality, freshness, price and presentation. We’d love feedback from you about our store and products. so chat to one of the staff or complete an in-store customer feedback form.

See you soon,
Karen and James
