This year’s Instore Days was an incredible success. Our hybrid event held on 1 and 2 July offered opportunities to get the deals online, in stores and in the marquee, as well at some of our card retailers own premises. The food trucks in the Ashburton store marquee were a great hit with our members who enjoyed a day out with a variety of food options and a chance to catch up with each other in our outdoor area.
This year, Ruralco’s Instore Days kicked off from 1 June and every $250 spent with our participating suppliers gained members one entry in the draw to win a Honda Pioneer 1000 Side by Side worth $29,350. Under police supervision, we drew the lucky winners and are thrilled to congratulate our well-deserved local farmers Vincent and Rob Lobb of Lobblinn Farms. We thank them for their ongoing support. We also congratulate the many other Instore Days prize winners who you can read about below.
