About Four Square Mangakino
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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Perfectly pleasant staff with basic level of stock. Prices are higher than I'm used to but it is a captive market here!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Looks great with the new layout, friendly staff. But is often under staffed leaving long lines of customers waiting at the checkout. Also some of the prices for items are ridiculously expensive.
