"It is really awesome to achieve the title this year. In the Taranaki Regional competition our store won the top three spots so to win the overall competition is just the icing on the cake."
Brooke has worked at New World Stratford for three and a half years. She says she felt overwhelmed when her name was called.
"There are 112 stores in the North Island and there were nine regional winners on the night so to win the top spot is pretty amazing."
Brooke works one day a week on check-out and on her other days, fills the chilled shelf.
"I enjoy working at New World and interacting with our lovely customers."
Brooke says she had a feeling she knew who her mystery shopper is but cannot be certain.
"I think I have an idea but seeing as they can be a local from town it is hard to know."
She thanked Dan and Rebecca and the team who helped train her.
"I'm so thankful for the help and support from everyone. We really do have the best team at Stratford New World."
