Demolition is complete and construction has started on the new Mitre 10 Mega shop in Oamaru.

In mid-May, Mitre 10 (New Zealand) Ltd confirmed it planned to open a Mega store on industrial-zoned land between Dee and Ribble Sts, more than doubling the size of its current retail store in Severn St.

The 6000sq m, $18million premises is expected to open for business early next year.

Mitre 10 Oamaru owner-operator Simon Lye said

the project was on track to be completed on schedule.

The new store will employ an additional 20 staff, bringing the workforce to 60 full-time and part-time employees.
