Wine cooler - Glengarry liquor outlets

Started as a winemaking venture on the Glengarry Road in West Auckland in 1940, Glengarry became New Zealand's first retailer to hold a liquor licence, capitalising quickly on a change in law that saw reselling imported liquor legalised. The original store in Herne Bay has since been joined by 15 additional outlets in Auckland and Wellington. Now into the third generation of family management, the traditions of quality are as strong today as they were decades ago, rewarded by being voted 'Top Shop' by consumers in Metro magazine for ten years running.

Focused on its retail strength as a unique lifestyle destination, Glengarry worked with Resene to create unique Glengarry colours, Glengarry Charcoal and Glengarry Maroon, to reinforce its positioning. With a chain of stores requiring repainting, the base colour scheme of Resene Double Tuna (deep grey) was applied to all buildings in an option of Resene Lumbersider CoolColour™ waterborne satin or Resene Sonyx 101 CoolColour™ waterborne semi-gloss, with the topcoat selected to match the substrate condition and the building design. The CoolColour™ finishes improve the heat reflectivity of the coatings providing a cool effect compared to traditional paint finishes. Glengarry Maroon features on signage contrasted with vivid white vinyl lettering of the Glengarry brand name.

A brilliant re-imaging for Glengarry, the already standout brand has taken its shopfronts to the next level.
