Three hundred people have applied to work at The Warehouse in Richmond, however most of the job hunters will be let down. The Warehouse will employ around 70 team members at its peak for the store and Simon Turner, CEO of The Warehouse,

confirmed that 300 people had applied for jobs at the store but they are no longer looking to recruit staff. Five hundred people applied for jobs at Kmart, with 90 of those getting work when the store opened. Their staffing roll has since lowered to between 70 and 60. The 3500m2 The Warehouse store will

The new Warehouse building. open on Queen St on August 28, and all of the building work is on track for that date.

The Warehouse will be part of the Gibbons development project which also includes Kmart, Couplands, Benge & Co, Columbus Coffee and Aki Sushi. There will also be another yet-be-announced retailer on site. Simon says the company was attracted to Richmond as it is “one of New Zealand’s fastest growing regions.”
