Westfield Pakuranga is a shopping centre in Pakuranga, part of Manukau City, in Auckland. It is situated on the corner of Ti Rakau Drive and Pakuranga Highway.
The centre features approximately 115 stores, including the major stores Farmers, Foodtown and The Warehouse, although The Warehouse is external to the mall.
Originally opened in 1965 as the Pakuranga Town Centre[2], the mall was one of the first (probably the first) malls of the modern age in New Zealand, incorporating Farmers and George Court department stores. The mall itself has been transformed several times since it was first built and retains little of the 1960s style it once had (it was originally open to the air).
In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a retail expert group, Westfield Pakuranga received three out of four stars based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects. It was noted to have received a relatively high rating even though struggling with major competition from Botany Town Centre and Sylvia Park.[3]
