Mercy Hospice Shop to open in Mt Roskill
Mercy Hospice Auckland is pleased to announce the opening of its 9th shop at Mt Roskill’s bustling retail centre at 22 Stoddard Road (next to Coffee Club and the soon to be opened ASB) on Monday 16th January 2017.
The Mt Roskill Hospice Shop will offer a variety of good quality clothing, homeware and selected furniture items. Christine Magness, our Mt Roskill Retail Manager, will ensure you feel truly welcomed and looked after. Christine will be ably assisted by volunteers who all come from the local Mt Roskill Community and surrounding suburbs.
Mercy Hospice Auckland chose to open a shop at the 22 Stoddard Road Retail Centre due to its wide variety of shops, eateries and services, ample parking and the sense of local pride where locals run stores for locals.
Every time you buy something from one of our nine Mercy Hospice Shops you are helping us to raise funds which directly support the free-of-charge care of some 1,000 patients and families dealing with life-limiting illness every year.
Chicken Gizzards!
Kia ora Neighbours
I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).
I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.
If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.
Thank you!
