To all our awesome customers over the past 50 years, thank you!


Since 1974, we’ve been doing our best to inspire Kiwi to love where they live, work and play, and you’ve been inspiring us right back with home hacks, DIY projects, awesome gardens and home makeovers.


We’ve been invested in our local communities from the very beginning, and we couldn’t have been prouder to celebrate that milestone with our customers.


Here's to the next 50 years. Mitre 10, with you all the way.

We're family
