There is a mall in Methven but don’t get too excited because the Methven shopping is somewhat limited, which is to be expected considering the small size of the town. Methven shops include a couple of ski and snowboard shops, craft and gift shops, a gallery, a pharmacy and two supermarkets.

Methven Ski Shops & Snowboard Gear

Methven has two ski shops providing equipment rental as well as a little bit of retail.

Big Al’s shop on the main corner sells a small range of hardwear, outerwear and ski and snowboard accessories.

Alpine Sports is a slightly larger ski and snowboard shop that sells gear and a little bit of snow clothing.

General Shopping in Methven

You definitely don’t come to Methven to go on a shopping spree, particularly on Sunday when some of the shops are closed.

The Methven information centre sells a few NZ and local souvenirs.

Clothe is a ladies boutique in Forest Drive that sells jeans, handbags, scarves and other clothing. This shop also has some clothing and accessories for babies and children.

Mall Crafts is an old ladies hangout and is not likely to attract too many folks on a ski/snowboard holiday.

Grocery Shopping

There are two reasonably sized supermarkets in Methven, with the Four Square Supermarket being the larger and better of the two.
