Foodtown was a New Zealand supermarket chain owned by Progressive Enterprises (now Woolworths New Zealand).[1] As with Woolworths, the Foodtown brand was phased out in the late 2000s, with all stores rebranded as Countdown by the end of 2011.[2] Foodtown supermarkets were typically integrated with a shopping centre; the chain had few stand-alone stores.
