‘Kiwitalian’ restaurant Goode Brothers officially opened in Bethlehem Town Centre, Tauranga, this past weekend, announced by PMG Funds and Star Group.
This is the first of now five ventures to open outside of Auckland, and Bethlehem Town Centre centre manager Lauren Todd says the centre is excited to welcome the restaurant.
“Goode Brothers will serve as a key attraction for local families and tourists, especially during peak times like school holidays and weekends.”
The new venue is poised to redefine the local dining scene with its vibrant “Kiwitalian” concept, a creative fusion of authentic Italian cuisine and Kiwi hospitality.
Goode Brothers offers a unique experience designed to bring people together—whether for a family-friendly meal, a night out with friends, or a casual catch-up. With a menu designed to both share and savour, and a loaded roster of activities, Goode Brothers promises to become a go-to destination for all ages.
Its arrival marks a fresh addition to Bethlehem Town Centre, enhancing its status as a key destination for both locals and visitors from across the Tauranga region.
“We’re thrilled to bring one of our favourite venue brands to Bethlehem Town Centre,” says Star Group upper north head of operations Jamie Freeman.
“This marks our fourth Goode Brothers location and we’re confident the community will love their new Kiwitalian local.
“This concept has been a big hit in Auckland, and we’re excited to bring that same vibe of turning every day into an occasion to Tauranga.
“We aim to create a space for an anytime get-together, handmade for everyone.”
“The addition of Goode Brothers strengthens our commitment to creating a vibrant, community-focused environment by adding to our high-quality food and beverage options, appealing to a broad and diverse customer base,” says Lauren.
“This not only enriches the visitor experience but also supports our tenants by driving increased foot traffic and sales across the centre.
Key highlights of Goode Brothers at Bethlehem Town Centre include a distinctive “Kiwitalian” menu – Italian culinary delights are served up with Kiwi charm, and regular events and promotions that ensure every visit is memorable – think handmade pasta classes and private pizza classes.
The launch of Goode Brothers aligns with Bethlehem Town Centre’s broader vision to optimise its tenant mix and deliver a diverse, engaging experience for customers.
“Goode Brothers is an ideal fit for our strategy to attract new visitors and enhance the overall experience for shoppers and diners alike,” says Lauren.
“This partnership is a testament to our focus on collaborating with experience-driven brands that resonate with our community and enrich our tenant portfolio.”
Goode Brothers is sure to further elevate Bethlehem Town Centre’s reputation as a vibrant retail and dining hub in Tauranga.
