Night 'n Day
Night 'n Day is a chain of New Zealand grocery stores. The stores operate long hours, and sell a range of ready-to-eat products.
Night 'n Day is the third largest grocery retailer in New Zealand. Since 2011, it has rapidly expanded its network of stores and focused more on coffee and takeaway food. During the 2010s, it was one of the fastest-growing companies in New Zealand by revenue. As of 2024 there are 54 Night 'n Day stores around New Zealand.
Denise and Andrew Lane opened the Regent Foodstore on Regent Street, in the University of Otago in Dunedin North, in 1984. After hearing a BP across the road was planning to operate 24 hours a day, the Lanes decided to do the same, becoming the first New Zealand shop to open 24 hours a day. Business started to pick up after six months, and local students and motel residents came to call the store "The Two Four".
The store became the first Night 'n Day store. Additional 24-hour Night 'n Day stores were opened in Hagley Park, Christchurch and in Georgetown, Invercargill in 1985, and Sumner, Christchurch in 1986. An Arrowtown store was added in 1990.
The Lanes choose to franchise the brand in 1990, on the advice of NightOwl Convenience Stores brand owner Rod Craig. The move led to a growth in the chain's store numbers and revenue.
By 2011, Night 'n Day had 46 stores.
Three Night 'n Day stores were affected by the 2011 Canterbury earthquake. One relocated, while the other two closed permanently. Night 'n Day has never restored its previous presence in Christchurch CBD.
In late 2011, Night 'n Day took over the 21 Woolworths at Gull stores at Gull New Zealand service stations around the upper North Island, adding 21 North Island sites to its existing network of 25 South Island stores. Foodstuffs South Island ended its supply agreement with Night 'n Day as a result, leading Night 'n Day to shift its focus to hot food and coffee.
