About Us

Welcome to Paddock To Pantry, where family values meet quality and community.

We’re Wayne and Melanie Kennerley, and we proudly run this local, family-owned supermarket with a simple mission: to deliver great value and treat every customer like part of the family.

Our journey began when we saw an opportunity to revive a struggling local grocery store. With years of retail experience and a deep passion for customer service, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

Through dedication and hard work, we not only revitalised the store but expanded its reach, serving not just our local community but also customers nationwide. 

One of our proudest moments was when we were asked to prepare a gift that was delivered to the Queen on behalf of New Zealand—a true testament to the quality and care we put into everything we do.

At Paddock To Pantry, our priority is quality—whether it’s locally sourced produce from trusted Kiwi farmers or exceptional international goods that meet our high standards. We believe in supporting local suppliers whenever possible, fostering relationships that benefit our community and customers alike.

But our commitment goes beyond just groceries. We’re deeply involved in our community, supporting initiatives like Life Education Manukau, Totara Hospice, and Karaka Junior Rugby. For us, giving back is not just a value; it’s a way of life.

When you shop with us, whether in-store or online, you’re not just a customer—you’re part of the Paddock To Pantry family. We invite you to join us on our journey and experience the warmth, quality, and care that only a family-run business can provide.
