The awards recognise the achievements of retailers in the hardware, builders’ supply and home decor sectors and have been held for the past 16 years.

Mitre 10 Mega Petone and Upper Hutt CEO Stephen Nelson said he was extremely proud to win the award and “be running the best hardware store in New Zealand”.

“We beat not only other Mitre 10s but direct competitors from all over the country.“

The team at Mega Petone do a fantastic job and have undoubtedly played a huge part in achieving this accolade and our goal is now to be the first ever store to retain this prestigious award for two years running.

“The support both Mitre 10 Mega Petone and Upper Hutt stores receive from the people and businesses of the Hutt Valley enables us to be leading home improvement retailers and to win awards such as this and I want to thank them for their continued support.”

Judging of the Retail Store of the Year category includes nomination by retail groups, scrutiny by more than 80 industry supply companies and a two-stage mystery shopper analysis.
