Less than five per cent of the 100 underperforming Dick Smith stores earmarked for possible closure by chain owner Woolworths will be in New Zealand.
The firm would not directly say if the Whangarei operation would be affected.
Woolworths has announced it will sell the Dick Smith chain of electronic stores following restructuring.
Clare Buchanan, spokeswoman for Woolworths, said closures would be progressively announced over the next few months.
"We are not going to be announcing all the closures all at once. We can say we have earmarked 100 underperforming stores but whether they will be closed or not is a matter to be worked through," she said.
