Dear St Pierres Family,
I would like to thank each of you for the fantastic job you have done in St Pierre’s this year.
This year like last year has been full of challenges unlike any we have faced in the last 37 years of St Pierre’s History.
We have faced the second phase of the Pandemic with the Delta Virus, with more lockdowns, and uncertainty of re opening our stores. In Auckland several of our bigger stores like those in the big Westfield Malls such as St Lukes, New Market, Lyn mall, as well as Manakau were closed for over 3 months. The rest of you were trading contactless, serving customers out onto the street for many months and did an incredible job!
At one time we there was over 200 of you at home for several months while the stores were unable to trade.
Luckily the rest of the country was open with less restrictions and more freedom, and greatly helped our Company at this time. A sincere thanks to you all!
Fortunately during this time the demand for our product has remained very strong. People love St Pierre’s Food and this was shown with the massive queues we had with the stores which were open, and the huge uptake in Uber eats and the success of our online ordering program. Our sales had remained really strong and in fact some of you have achieved some new sales records! Congratulations!
You have done an amazing job in readjusting yourselves to the new reality of business. 2 years ago we did not have Uber, or Online. Your adaptability to change has been truly incredible.
With the opening now of Auckland, and the new traffic system we again see more challenges, and again you have done an amazing job in re adjusting to the new system. Thank you so much!
We will be heading into 2022 soon with new exciting challenges coming up and I am sure we will again face them again courage and success.
Again, thank you to all of you for your amazing work at St Pierres and for helping St Pierres become one of NZs most loved Sushi stores.
We are so proud of you all. You are really the best!
Costa Nick Foti and I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas Season and the blessings of health happiness and joy in the year ahead.
ALL THE BEST From our families to your families
