Westfield Glenfield is a shopping centre in Glenfield, part of North Shore City, in Auckland. Opened in 1971, it is situated on the corner of Glenfield Road and Downing Street. The mall was bought by Westfield Group in 1996. In 2000, a major renovation was concluded by Westfield, which cost $100 million.[2]

The centre features 132 stores, including the major stores Farmers, The Warehouse, Foodtown and Countdown.

In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a retail expert group, Westfield Glenfield received just two out of four stars, the lowest rating in the country (though not the lowest that would have been possible) based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects. The reviewers considered that the centre was facing strong competition, including from its newer and larger sister centre Westfield Albany. The centre's management disagreed and noted that the centre remained a convenient family-focused destination.[3]
