I tried to find out if this is a Samsung store, a Samsung booth or just using some retailer's space - no reply yet but interesting:

Its a Samsung branded store being run by an external company. It will only sell Samsung products but as it will only be a kiosk its quite limited on products. They will only be able to sell phones,tablets and wearables.

Yes, I got a tip from someone after my topic went live but I didn't want to post. Then @Otis21 posted.

Samsung PR never replied to my query.

Follow up on this. The retail space (and all others in New Zealand) closed today Samsung to close all in-store locations across New Zealand - NZ Herald

Samsung New Zealand has announced they will be closing all physical locations across the country due to a “changing in customer preferences”.

I think it's more likely Samsung's profit dropping 95% this quarter.

What a shame I really liked the Samsung, Apple and Microsoft stores in Sydney wish they opened some in Wellington

They staggered the closure of these according to the email they sent me.

26/4-Albany, riccarton & queensgate
27/4-newnarket & Manukau
28/4-sylvia park

Nice of them to email me at 7pm warning if the upcoming closures yesterday.

It's a shame as the riccarton staff generally seemed helpful and nice when I had to deal with utter cluster that is their estores customer service.

Last year I wanted to trade my iPhone for a Fold. They use an app to value it and handle the process. It just kept telling me that my 13 PM wasn’t ‘eligible’ even though it priced it.

I could get no sense out of anyone at all as regards resolving that.
