It will re-open 16 Warehouse and Noel Leeming stores and 2 distribution centres for the supply of a small range of products and services. These include essential household items such as appliances, heaters, IT equipment and bedding.
The stores will not be open to the public and products must be ordered through the websites. Delivery drivers will be ensuring appropriate social distancing measures.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment says it will be keeping a close eye on the stores to make sure they are complying with the lockdown rules. “If businesses are too generous in their interpretation of what is ‘essential’ or flout these rules, Government will take further action.”
Some of the items that will be available to purchase online are:
- Heaters and air purifiers
- Kitchen appliances such as toaster, kettles, ovens and fridges
- Baby supplies and beauty items
- Bedding
- Computers and IT accessories
- Engine oil and batteries
