Farro Fresh plans to open three new stores and to exceed $100 million revenue for the first time this year.
Chief executive Bryce Howard detailed the chain's financials and expansion plans from six to nine
stores.
But Tauranga and Hamilton don't yet feature on the boutique food business radar, Howard saying Auckland remains the sole focus for growth at this stage.
But never say never.
"We are targeting three areas of Auckland. Real estate is the hardest part, leasing the properties. We want to lease those properties and have three new Farro stores. We have the capacity to do at least one new store a year," Howard said.

Auckland's police helicopter videoed the successful rescue of a small boy at sea.

BEIJING: China defended its handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday but said it would "strive to do better" after independent experts criticised the speed of its response to a virus that has now killed more than two million people worldwide.
Beijing has faced international criticism for an alleged lack of transparency after the virus emerged in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019 and for stifling whistleblowers who tried to raise the alarm.
The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response -- which also criticised the World Health Organisation over its response -- said on Monday that its evaluation of the start of the crisis in China "suggests that there was potential for early signs to have been acted on more rapidly".
