The Warehouse is the brand that began it all. Founded in 1982 by Sir Stephen Tindall, the first ‘red shed’ challenged established retailers and proved popular with customers as a result of its simple style, and wide range of products at bargain prices. The Warehouse has become a Kiwi household name, and we proudly recognise the role that we play in communities throughout New Zealand.
Since 1991, Warehouse Stationery has also been successfully innovating in the stationery-retail sector and overtime we have incorporated more of this business within The Warehouse stores as a ‘Store within a Store’ (SWAS) to serve our valued customers with a true ‘one stop shop’ for all their personal, household and office needs.
