Notes

Started in 1909, Farmers has become New Zealand’s best-loved and largest chain of fashion department stores. Originally a mail-order business, Farmers soon spread with stores throughout the country.
Leading the way in retail innovations, Farmers was more than just a retail business. Farmers’ promotions, hire-purchase shopping, Christmas Parades, community initiatives, playgrounds, tea-rooms, Santa Bears, and many more have been enjoyed by generations of New Zealanders.
