Panda Mart Christchurch

So, you need to rush to get something quick, so you pop into that small, friendly local supermarket.

It seems to have everything you might need, and the staff are really pleasant. But then, you notice something really special – a large, striking graphic on the wall. It's a huge panda bear, and it's smiling at you.

OK, I can hear you all out there saying, ‘Wow, big deal, it’s just a panda!’ But wait, there’s more…

As you unpack your shopping this evening, you begin to notice different things to that packaging you have from other larger supermarkets. Firstly, the milk is in a glass bottle. Now, we all know glass is infinitely better for the environment than plastic, but don’t supermarkets know that too? So why aren’t they all using glass? It seems that Panda Mart might really care about our planet, not just its profits.

Continuing to unpack, you notice some interesting brands you’ve never seen before. There’s pasta made with ancient grains, and chocolate that’s sweetened only with coconut sugar. There aren’t just one or two of these products, but dozens. It’s almost as if Panda Mart has gone out of its way to find the best, most ethical brands possible. And you know what? The prices aren’t inflated either!

You start to think that Panda Mart might just be a really special kind of supermarket. Not only is it convenient and affordable, but it also seems to genuinely care about its customers, its community and our planet.
