We do! It’s quite American but also has a lot of bulk Asian groceries, snacks etc. It has the same prices as the US for the hot food (I think), which definitely makes it the cheapest meal in town.

Inside Wikipedia’s great macron war How the little town of Tīrau became ground zero in an internet fight over the spelling of te reo Māori.
