New Zealand: Waitomo heads west to Taranaki
In response to growing Kiwi demand for low-cost fuel, Hamilton-based fuel supplier Waitomo Group has confirmed it will open a Waitomo Fuel Stop in New Plymouth.
Waitomo Group Chief Operating Officer Simon Parham said the Waitomo team is pumped to announce its sixth new site for 2019 will be up and running by mid-July .
“There’s no slowing down for our team this year, as we roll out our national network expansion plans. Following our openings in Rotorua, Papamoa and Hamilton Central in the last 3 months, we’re now focused on causing some disruption out west with our first New Plymouth Fuel Stop now under construction,” said Parham.
The company is hoping to have the tanks in the ground before Easter.
Waitomo’s first mainland site, in central Christchurch, will open before the end of the year, and the company is also actively looking for new sites in other regions.
Established in Te Kuiti more than 70 years ago by Desmond Ormsby, Waitomo Group now has over 60 sites stretching from Paihia in the north and as far south as Foxton.
