Bayfair Shopping Centre

Bayfair Shopping Centre, more commonly known as simply Bayfair, is one of the main shopping malls in Tauranga located in the suburb of Arataki. Bayfair is also known for being the first shopping mall built in Tauranga.

Location
Bayfair Shopping Centre is located on the corner of Maunganui Road (State Highway 2) and Girven Road. The rear of the shopping centre backs onto Farm Road, and Jackson Street and Harris Street are located to the side of the building. It is across Maunganui Road from Omanu Golf Course, and across Girven Road from Baywave (a major aquatic complex). ==Facilities==
Facilities
Bayfair has three anchor stores: Woolworths, Kmart and Farmers. Up until 2018, it was home to New Zealand’s only remaining Woolworths supermarket, which had retained the Australian Woolworths branding rather than rebranding to Countdown (like all other Foodtown and Woolworths stores) due to the presence of an existing Countdown store in Bayfair. In 2023, following a nationwide rebrand by the company, the store was officially renamed Woolworths once again. Farmers is the only part of the shopping centre (other than the carpark) to be on more than one floor. There is a large foodcourt with around a dozen food retailers. == Development ==
Development
In December 2017, a $115 million redevelopment began on Bayfair. The first stage of the redevelopment opened in December 2018. There were 30 new stores. The redevelopment was expected to end in 2019, which was expected to have 150 stores once finished. In May 2019, six new restaurants opened at Bayfair. == Buses ==
