When Jugjeet Singh Giarn purchased an established supermarket on 64 Stoddard Road in Mt Roskill, he wanted everything different.
He started with the name.
He called it ‘Lotus Supermarket,’ to distinguish it from other brands and names with a passion for the community.
“We want ‘Lotus’ to be a distinct brand, with better range and better service, offering the greatest value for every dollar spent by our customers. The Lotus, which is the National Flower of India, is known to rise above the waters, stays high and remains visible to all. We want Lotus Supermarket to offer a unique shopping experience to people of the region and beyond,” he said.
Extensive range
As well as maintaining adequate stock of an ever-expanding range of products, the Supermarket aims to provide a clean and hygienic shopping environment.
“With products from all over the world, Lotus Supermarket not only aims to offer the widest choice but also bring communities together to enjoy the simple blessing of food products. You need not travel far to eat authentic meals; just shop at Lotus Supermarket – we bring the world of taste to your dining table,” Mr Giarn said.
Working with importers, distributors and other suppliers, the Company ensures that customers are provided with products that are of assured quality, aimed at improving their health and wellbeing.
For a family that has been in New Zealand for the past 107 years, growth, prosperity and service to the community are factors that are historic and colourful.
The Giarns are among the early settlers from India, who arrived in North Island in 1906 and since then, have moved from strength to strength.
Like his siblings and other members of the family, Jugjeet Singh Giarn graduated from Auckland schools and University.
All members of the family own their own retail businesses and each of them is known for hard work and honesty.
Lotus Supermarket is among a few that offer the widest range of items, making it a one-stop shop for every household.
Unbeatable prices
A visit to the Supermarket will instantly establish the fact that its expansive and extensive range would bring with it low prices that make products accessible to every income group and every taste of the resident communities.
“Because of our enormously large volume of purchases, we are able to obtain goods at better prices. We believe in business ethics. We pass on the discounts to our customers. They help us to keep ahead of the rest of retailers in the market. Our customers are loyal and realise and appreciate the fact that we work in their best interests all the time,” Mr Giarn said.
Community support
He said that his family believes in community support, constantly striving to reach even the lower end of the market.
“We want all our customers to eat well and be healthy and happy. Prices at Lotus Supermarket will be the best offer that our customers can find. But low prices will never affect the quality of our products and services,” he said.
Mr Giarn and his team are always happy to welcome their regular customers and extend an open invitation to all shoppers to visit Lotus Supermarket and experience the difference that it can make in their lives.
“Please visit us, introduce yourself to our staff and look around the Supermarket. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed,” he said.
