KiwiRail is working with Wellington City Council and local food truck operators to provide services once the current Wellington Railway Station supermarket closes next week.
KiwiRail Executive General Manager Property Anna Allen says “we’ve got station users covered between tenancies, with food trucks operating outside the station entrance from Tuesday 2 April.”
“The operators we have confirmed are The Greek Food Truck, Nada Bakery, Hong Kong Foodie, Gluten Free Food Truck, Shouk NZ and Kosmos Coffee.
“We’re very aware that many of those using the station also use the supermarket to buy breakfast, lunch or dinner, and we wanted to ensure that type of service would still be available, so we have worked with the Council to make this happen.
“Council permission is for an initial six-month period.”
The supermarket has announced it will cease operating on March 30 ahead of its lease expiry in June.
KiwiRail is continuing to negotiate with potential tenants for the space, and knows how good the location is as a supermarket, but is not in a position to comment further at this stage.
