New Zealand is often overlooked by big international retailers due to the relatively small population size and the logistics of a country that is further than Australia.
New Zealanders now have something to look forward to with one of the world’s biggest brands opening in Auckland. JD Sports has announced that it’s brand new 850 square metre store will be up and running next month. This store will be the second biggest in the Asia Pacific with a store in Sydney the only store that is bigger.
JD Sports is one of the world’s largest sports retailers and it’s reach stretches internationally with over 2600 stores. In the Asia Pacific region, most of the stores are concentrated in Australia with 33 stores there.
The new store in Auckland will be unique for the region being the first of it’s kind in the Asia Pacific region with a new store format only seen in Paris and New York.
The idea behind JD opening this new format store in Auckland is that they want New Zealanders to spend money at home rather than going overseas for their shopping fix. The new store design has both local inventory as well as kiosks which allows you to order products from their global inventory. These products can be purchased and delivered for free to the customer.
