**About us**

As a Kiwi-owned business partnering with some of New Zealand’s best-known brands, we combine the special, local family feel of a small business with the support of national networks, infrastructure, systems, and training.

Since our inception in 2009, starting with a small Mitre 10 store in Warkworth, we’ve grown to be the largest group of stores within the Mitre 10 network. We proudly offer customers a unique shopping experience in New Zealand's largest hardware retail store, Mitre 10 MEGA Albany, and in our New Lynn, Warkworth, Whangaparaoa, and Silverdale locations—each with a Columbus Coffee café. We also operate a Distribution Centre and a Frame and Truss Manufacturing Plant.

Partnering with Columbus Coffee, one of New Zealand’s most recognized brands, we’ve built a successful collaboration serving premium café food and award-winning coffees within our Mitre 10 and Mitre 10 MEGA stores. Working with Columbus Coffee offers you the chance to join a world-class café group.

At our Whangaparaoa Café, we take pride in serving delicious meals and superb coffee. Enjoy classic Kiwi breakfasts and fabulous lunch options in the relaxing atmosphere of our garden centre.
