Kmart in NZ
The Marlborough express has highlighted a Kmart being opened in Richmond, which is approx 160kms away. :blink:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/marlborough-e...or-opening-day Having never been to a Kmart in all our years living here. Should we be expecting a John Lewis type experince or a more down market version of The Warehouse? |
Re: Kmart in NZ
Down market version of The Warehouse in my opinion. Although had plenty of decent camping gear from there. My wife got some reasonably good T shirts on sale for $1. Worth a rummage.

Re: Kmart in NZ
This place will be about 25 minutes from me Catcha. It looks like it will be huge. I'll let you know but am not expecting John Lewis from what Mr BEVS has said of it.

Re: Kmart in NZ
Don't be getting too excited!
It's just the warehouse with better lighting and surrounds. Usual old cheap Christmas shite stacked to the ceiling for 4 months of the year, barbecues and picnic-ware and teenage girly throwaway 'fashion' items for another four month and blankets and fleecy things for the remaining four. http://www.kmart.co.nz/ |

Cheap clothes think Matalan

Re: Kmart in NZ
I quite like Kmart, it is a bit warehouse ish but its good for sport or fishing gear.
I dont buy clothes from kmart or the warehouse so cant comment on what they're like. Other half likes the cosmetic dept |
Re: Kmart in NZ
Not sure it's even as good as The Warehouse, which has lifted it's game in recent months, IMO. Like the red shed, it has some excellent specials on (sometimes).

Re: Kmart in NZ
It depends what you want and what you want to pay. If you are looking for a set of cheap crockery, then it's ideal - the plates won't break any easier than if you pay a fortune! :) If you want Royal Doultan to eat your dinner off ofr, then it won't be for you.
It has cheap toys, cheap clothes, cheap homeware. I have just bought a highchair for when my granddaughter visits for 4 weeks - $59. I bought t-shirts, shorts and skirts when I arrived 2 years ago as money was tight - I still wear them and they are fine. It doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is - cheap and cheerful! |
Re: Kmart in NZ
There are a few K-Marts here in Auckland, it could be described as you put it a more down market version of the warehouse.
However you can find a bargain on certain items just dont expect top branded goods. |
Re: Kmart in NZ
I always thought the one in Riccarton was more tatty than the Warehouse. But it was good for cheap toiletries and Christmas boxes of chocolates:)

Re: Kmart in NZ
Poo ! We have cheap and cheerful tat here with The Warehouse. I suppose a part of me was hoping for something a bit different.

Re: Kmart in NZ
An oxymoronic amalgamation used by shoppers of the Primark clothing chain, in order to add an illusion of Quality and high-class. Consists of PRI(mark) and (ar)MANI, the former being a cheap and tacky clothing store which incidentally sells knock-off, one-wear versions of the latter, a fashion house lead by Giorgio Armani. |

It is great for toys for Xmas. Cheaper than The Warehouse. Not sure about the fashion side though. Think Bhs and Matalan mixed. |
Re: Kmart in NZ
But... but... I love Kmart! But then, I have four children and they keep getting bigger! Having lived in Nelson, I think it's just what it needs.
It's cheap and cheerful, and actually, some of the homewares stuff is really good quality. The toys are a lot cheaper than The Warehouse too. Sometimes. (Before I get flamed.) Let's hear it for K-mart! OMG Catchafire - just realised who your profile pic is. Swoon! My first crush at about um... five. lol |
