It was a wonderful sunny summers day this Saturday!
And what better way to take advantage of a day like that than with a Christmas picnic party?
A Coupland’s Bakeries kids Christmas party is a tradition for over a decade and is one of our season’s favourite event.
This year we had our party at Spencer park and there was everything you could possibly want for both kids and adults at Christmas time – Santa, interactive games, yummy food, fire truck and loads of fun! The highlight of the day was, of course, when the Santa arrived and the kids were each given a present to call their own.

We started our party at midday with 6 awesome cooks making BBQ for lunch. After everybody had some delicious food we continued with interactive games like 3 legged race, jumping the hoola hoop, sack race and passing the egg.
Kids were divided into age groups. They all got some lollies as a reward for trying really hard in each game and of course, the best ones were rewarded with medals for the first, second and third place. In all the games there were also parent involved which made everything more interesting for kids and much funnier.

After running in the hot sun and trying hard in all the games, there was the time for the most interesting part of the whole event, Santa! He came in a big red fire truck and after everybody gathered around him in the shade, it was time for him to give away some presents.
Fire trucks weren’t just for show, but they helped us all to cool down by spraying the water on everybody who got in their way. The kids were running around the big field and laughing their hearts out while they were trying to, at the same time, catch and avoid the water drops.

We don’t know who had more fun that day, parents or kids.
There were definitely a lot of laughter and heaps of happy faces on that sunny festive afternoon. We can’t wait for next year!

Coupland’s Bakeries is one of the largest independently owned bakery chains in New Zealand.
Evans Street store is one of our 25 stores, second in Timaru and every year this store has over 145 000 customers that walk through its door. Our whole business started in Timaru so we are very connected with this town.
Evans street store was opened in May 2002 in a place of old Challenge gas station. The transformation started in November 2001 and lasted for 6 months so this year we decided that it was time for a well deserved makeover.
We are very proud to present our new look. Doing exterior colours and makeovers is a really exciting job, it gives the building such an enormous life. Creating the good experience we want for our customers has been an exciting journey, and we are very pleased with the outcome (we hope you are too!)
Of course, we don’t want to stop with only outside, so we already started making plans to make our Evans Street store interior more interesting and inviting with a nice atmosphere for you to enjoy your shopping as much as possible.
Definitely much more exciting things are waiting to happen in our Evans Street store.

Rangiora Store – NEW Barista Coffee

Coffee is part of almost every person’s morning and not just that, many people drink several cups of coffee throughout the day.

 

If your commute to work involves a stop at the coffee shop, be cautious – you might be tempted to pick up a sweet treat, too. And you don’t have to worry, we have both from now on. We are very happy to announce that from this week you will be able to find a cup of delicious barista made coffee every time you pop up for a lunch or your weekly shopping in our Rangiora store.

 

Coffee is a drink to be savoured. We remember that each coffee bean is picked by hand and roasted to perfection before it is brewed in our shop, so we strive to be responsible with our piece of the process. All our baristas are fully schooled in coffee know-how, so they can make your coffee just how you like it.

 

At Coupland’s Bakeries, we love coffee and we love freshly baked treats. But more than any of those, we love people. Come in and join us for a coffee, sweet treat or a delectable pie!

Carmen Store – NEW Freshly Glazed Donuts

There’s nothing quite like a donut – warm, fluffy, sweet, and a little bit gooey – taking a bite out of a fresh piece of baked glazed donut is one of the simple pleasures in life.
We love making donuts as much as you love eating them. We are passionate about bringing you the same quality donuts we have always made and you have come to love. Because of that, we are very excited to be introducing you to our new glazed donut that we added to our range.

They come out of the hot oil perfectly fried to golden perfection on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The thin glaze with a hint of citrus coating the entire donut just makes them absolutely irresistible!

And now, at our Carmen Road, Hornby store you can order them hot, freshly made and glazed right before your eyes every day between 9am and 3pm.

 

November only promotion – get a glazed donut at our Hornby store absolutely FREE with any hot drink purchase!
