New World Gate Pa and New World Brookfield cleaned up in Foodstuffs Bay of Plenty Checker of the Year competition.
More than 120 checkout operators from Bay of Plenty New World and Pak'NSave stores tested their skills against each other onstage at the Baycourt Centre.
The winner, Ainsley Meynell from New World Gate Pa, will compete against other regional winners for the North Island Checker of Year title.
Holly Fillipo, from New World Brookfield, and Eden Arkwright, from New World Brookfield, were second and third, with New World Brookfield also taking out the fifth, sixth and seventh places, and best team award.
"It's a great event and it's good to celebrate success and recognise our frontline staff, who are such an important part of the business," said New World Brookfield owner Brendon Good.
