Four Square Cape View - Four Square Cape View 12 Clifton Road
About Four Square Cape View
Why the name Four Square?
The name Four Square emerged when Mr Barker, while talking on the telephone to one of the buying group members on 4th July 1924, drew a square around the 4 of the date on his calendar. He immediately realised he had a suitable name for the buying group, stating that "they would stand 'Four Square' to all the winds that blew".
By the end of 1924, products were appearing under the Four Square name, and by 1929, discussions were underway on the use of a common branding on stores. Early versions of the Four Square sign were produced in the form of red and gold hand painted glass panels for display in members' stores.
In February 1948, New Zealand's first self-service grocery store was opened in Onehunga by Phil Barker (the son of the founder of the group) and Ray McGregor. This soon became the norm for grocery retailing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great little shop offering plenty of products. Look for that item you forgot or do your whole shop here. From beer and wine to fresh meat it has it here for you. There are always bargains to be had if you shop wisely. Not the cheapest prices in the world but for convenience for locals and holidaymakers alike, pretty difficult to fault. Best of all they have the most friendly and capable employees of any shop that I have used, 5 star service everytime!!
