A safe pair of hands starts with a name NZ already trusts.
For seven years, Guthrie Bowron Te Awamutu has built itself into one of the strongest stores in a 51-store national network. It ranked in the top 10 for turnover in each of the last four quarterly group reviews, peaking at 3rd, and top 10 nationally in its specialty windows and curtains category every quarter, peaking at 2nd.
The numbers back it up. Profit has grown three years running, with FY2026 delivering a cash surplus of ~ $312,000 to one working owner. Behind the business is one of NZ’s most trusted home decorating brands, trading since 1896, with head-office systems, group buying power and a Dulux Trade account bringing builders and painters through the door regardless of the retail market.
The store is well positioned on Cambridge Road with good parking, in the main town of the Waipā District, one of the faster-growing areas of the Waikato and just 30km south of Hamilton. New housing continues to support both retail and trade business, while the town offers affordable homes, good schools and an easy commute.
