Farro's new destination in Newmarket

Auckland’s fresh food market, Farro, is set to open its eighth store in Newmarket, transforming the former Liquorland site at 480 Broadway. Farro brings to life an authentic farmers' market experience and a vibrant foodie destination.

With 70 carparks on site, easy access via three entry points from Broadway and Mahuru Street, and direct connections to both Northern and Southern motorways, Farro Newmarket has been designed with convenience and inspiration at its heart.

“Newmarket is a fantastic hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment, and we know the ease of being located on Broadway will really appeal to local residents,” says Farro CEO Garth Sutherland. “Farro has always been about connecting independent New Zealand artisans and hard-to-find ingredients with Auckland foodies, and when Farro grows, so do the opportunities for those producers.”

The store will showcase the much-loved features found across Farro’s other stores: an in-house fishmonger with sustainably caught, market-fresh fish, expertly cut NZ free-farmed meats from our in-house butcher, great-value, quality produce delivered fresh from the market, and the full range of ready-to-eat meals from the popular Farro Kitchen.

An impressive central deli will offer barista-made Allpress coffee, matcha, an assortment of fresh salads and sandwiches made in-house, with sweet treats from nearby patisseries, plus Farro’s award-winning range of local and imported cheeses and charcuterie. Regular specials and the Friends of Farro rewards program will add even more value to Newmarket shoppers.

Customers will also discover goods from over 500 Kiwi and international artisan suppliers, including celebrated homegrown makers and restaurateurs such as Daily Bread, House of Chocolate, Cassia, and Gemmayze Street.

Newmarket Business Association CEO Mark Knoff-Thomas says, “We are very much looking forward to welcoming Farro to the neighbourhood. Farro’s superb offering will resonate well with Newmarket consumers. They will take up residence beside the new McDonald's full-service stand-alone restaurant which will open around June 2026. These are two exceptional and successful businesses that are joining a growing number of local, national and international brands who are signing leases on Broadway and Nuffield Street in particular, but also the laneways of Teed and Osborne.  This signals a strong vote of confidence in Broadway and the wider precinct. Coupled with a significant pipeline of residential and commercial developments, Newmarket’s recovery is rapidly ramping up. It’s pleasing to see confidence and positivity flowing back."
