Brave New World
I have worked in the central city for the last 20 something years and have brought my lunch to work about 3 times.
In that time I have worked on average 300 plus days a year so that's easily 6000 lunches that I have had to rustle up from deli's, cafe's and dairies. On top of that I normally eat standing up or at my desk and usually its at 3.00 pm.
So it is with great delight that New World have announced they are opening a new metro supermarket in the old BNZ Building.
Hopefully it will be the death knell for the dearth of starmarts on Queen Street.
