Plans for Taupō's central Countdown store show it will be rebuilt with a new pharmacy, underground parking, and electric vehicle charging points.
The resource consent document for the new store gives an insight into the changes shoppers can expect.
A Countdown spokeswoman said there was no confirmed closing date yet for the existing Countdown Taupō Central store, but a decision would be made at the end of August.
The rebuilt store would open as a Woolworths, after the company announced last month it was ditching the Countdown brand which has been in nationwide use since 2009.
However, the plans submitted still show the store with Countdown livery, as the application was made before the announcement.
