Warehouse Stationery has enjoyed huge growth since opening its first store in Wairau Park, Glenfield in October 1991.

We have revolutionised the stationery retail business in New Zealand by replacing the traditional stationer with the larger format stationery supermarket concept. Our customers can conveniently purchase all their stationery, office products, technology and furniture requirements under the one roof.

We are continually looking to drive new initiatives in the stationery, office products and related services markets. We have stores nationwide and are continuously improving our web store to offer the best possible service to our customers. In 2010 we launched our improved Business to Business initiative providing business customers with an exclusive rewards programme, free delivery for most online orders over $40 excl GST and delivery direct to their door.

The success of our business has been significant. Our annual sales growth figures are consistently well in excess of industry averages. The future continues to look exciting and we are constantly exploring new innovations and opportunities. We look forward to you sharing this future with us!
