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.
