Mad Butcher Glen Innes: Specials, Hours, and Liquidation Update
The official Mad Butcher website still lists the Glen Innes store, posts specials, and takes orders, even though a 2019 NZ Herald headline said the shop had been placed into liquidation — a gap that matters before you place an order. This page sets out the confirmed details and what remains uncertain.
Official website: madbutcher.co.nz/glen-innes · Facebook activity: Active with recent posts · Liquidation event: April 2019 (NZ Herald) · Current status: Website operational; social media active

Twelve store details, one pattern: nearly everything current about Glen Innes traces back to two official Mad Butcher pages, and the only contradictory signal is a single 2019 news headline.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Store name | Mad Butcher Glen Innes |
| Address | 175 Line Road, Glen Innes, Auckland 1072 (Mad Butcher official store locator) |
| Phone | 09-521-0903 |
| gleninnes@madbutcher.co.nz | |
| Opening hours | Mon–Wed 7:00 am–6:00 pm; Thu–Sat 7:00 am–7:00 pm; Sun 7:00 am–6:00 pm |
| Click & Collect | Seven days a week; pickup after 12 pm |
| Delivery | Monday–Friday to selected Auckland suburbs |
| Same-day delivery | Subject to availability; possible delivery fee |
| Current status | Official site live; social media active |
| Liquidation event | April 2019 (NZ Herald) |
| Example special | Frozen boneless pork slices NZ$10.99, reduced from NZ$19.99 |
| Established | 1971 (per official store page) |
The details above come from the Mad Butcher official store page and official store locator; the liquidation date is reported by NZ Herald.
Mad Butcher Glen Innes Specials and Deals
The specials board on the official Glen Innes page is the closest thing to a live price list. At the time of the latest check, six featured deals were listed, all available through the same online ordering and click-and-collect system.
What are the weekly specials?
- Frozen boneless pork slices — NZ$10.99, reduced from NZ$19.99 (Mad Butcher official store page)
- Frozen boneless pork belly pieces — NZ$10.99, reduced from NZ$19.99
- NZ chicken drumsticks — NZ$5.99, reduced from NZ$9.99
- Top Hat 1 kg cocktails — NZ$8.99, reduced from NZ$11.99
- Top Hat 1 kg cheese sausages — NZ$8.99, reduced from NZ$11.99
- Top Hat 1 kg frankfurters — NZ$8.99, reduced from NZ$11.99
All six prices come from the Mad Butcher official store page.
A live price board with specific dollar amounts is the strongest practical evidence that the Glen Innes operation is still processing orders — a dormant storefront doesn’t usually keep its specials refreshed.
One caveat before you plan a shop: Mad Butcher specials can change week to week, and other Auckland stores run their own price boards. A deal on the Glen Innes page is not necessarily the deal at Mt Roskill or Takanini in the same week.
How to view online specials?
- Official store page — the Glen Innes page on madbutcher.co.nz shows the current price board.
- Facebook — the Glen Innes store’s Facebook page posts video specials and deal updates.
- Phone — call 09-521-0903 to confirm a price before ordering.
The Facebook feed is the fastest way to see weekly deal videos, and it doubles as a signal that the store is actively managed. Instagram also carries Mad Butcher deal posts, though the official page remains the ordering source of truth.
The implication: for the shopper, the official page is the price of record — social posts are the teaser, but the cart is the contract.
This makes the Glen Innes official page the most reliable source for current prices and availability.
Mad Butcher Glen Innes Opening Hours and Location
The store sits at 175 Line Road in Glen Innes, Auckland 1072, and the official store locator lists a seven-day schedule that runs from early morning to early evening.
What are the hours on weekdays?
- Monday to Wednesday: 7:00 am – 6:00 pm
- Thursday and Friday: 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
- Saturday: 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
- Sunday: 7:00 am – 6:00 pm
All hours come from the Mad Butcher official store locator. The pattern across the week: a 7:00 am opening every day, with a 7:00 pm closing on Thursday through Saturday and a 6:00 pm closing on the remaining days.
Is pickup after 12 pm?
- Click & Collect: available seven days a week, with pickup after 12 pm (Mad Butcher official store page).
- Same-day delivery: offered Monday to Friday for selected Auckland suburbs, subject to availability and a possible delivery fee.
The 12 pm pickup rule is the detail most people miss. The store opens at 7:00 am; still, an online order picked up the same day won’t be in your hands before midday. If you’re working around a lunch break or an afternoon commute, that threshold decides when the trip happens.
For Click & Collect, the 12 pm threshold is the one detail that changes the day: an order placed in the morning won’t be ready until after midday, regardless of when the store opens.
What this means: anyone searching for “Mad Butcher Glen Innes opening hours” will find the same seven-day schedule, but the after-12 pm pickup rule is the real constraint on how you shop this store.
Is Mad Butcher Glen Innes Still Open? The 2019 Liquidation Explained
Here is the contradiction at the centre of this story: the same store that NZ Herald reported as placed into liquidation in April 2019 still has a live official page, an active Facebook feed, and a working ordering system.
What happened in April 2019?
- April 2019: NZ Herald reported that the Glen Innes Mad Butcher had been placed into liquidation.
- Headline wording: the report ran under the headline “Another Mad Butcher goes under”, which suggested the store was not the first in the chain to hit trouble.
The liquidation report remains the main news record for this store. Nothing in the official channels reviewed here contradicts the event itself — the question is what happened after the liquidation, and that is where the public record goes quiet.
A 2019 liquidation headline is easy to mistake for a permanent closure. The official website, the store locator, and the social feeds all still list Glen Innes as a working store — but no source reviewed here explains the ownership details behind that.
Was the store closed permanently?
- Official store page: live, with a working phone number and email.
- Official store locator: still shows the Line Road address and current opening hours.
- Facebook: recent deal posts as of the latest check.
So the honest answer is: the digital operation is active today, and no source reviewed here indicates the store closed permanently. In New Zealand, liquidation is a formal process where a company’s assets are sold to pay creditors; for a retail franchise branch, that can mean the end of trading under the original entity, or a new operator acquiring the business out of liquidation. The sources reviewed don’t document which of those paths applied here.
Why this matters: the digital evidence of a working store outweighs a single 2019 headline for anyone deciding whether to order. The ownership question is open, but the ordering question is effectively answered.
The digital operation remains active, but the legal status of the business is still unconfirmed.
Mad Butcher Glen Innes vs Other Mad Butcher Locations in Auckland
Glen Innes is one of several Mad Butcher stores in Auckland. The official store locator lists locations including Mt Roskill, Takanini, Henderson, and Manukau, and each store runs its own local specials.
What are the differences in offerings?
- Glen Innes: click-and-collect after 12 pm, plus Monday-to-Friday delivery to selected suburbs.
- Other Auckland stores: their own price boards and local deals, listed separately on the official site.
- Product type: the Glen Innes specials centre on meat staples — pork cuts, chicken, and sausages.
The practical difference for a shopper is geographic. The Mad Butcher model gives each store its own specials board, so the price you see on the Glen Innes page is the Glen Innes price — not a network-wide price.
How does Glen Innes compare to Mt Roskill?
- Glen Innes: 175 Line Road; phone 09-521-0903; after-12 pm pickup; delivery to selected suburbs.
- Mt Roskill: listed on the official store locator as a separate Auckland store with its own local deals.
If you live near Mt Roskill, the relevant details for that store are on its own Mad Butcher page, and the same caveat applies: confirm the deal at the store you plan to use, because the specials are not interchangeable.
The trade-off: the brand’s per-store specials give local shoppers flexibility but create confusion — the Glen Innes price list is not the Auckland-wide price list.
How to Order from Mad Butcher Glen Innes – Online and In-Store
Ordering starts on the official Glen Innes page, where the specials and product list feed into two fulfilment options: click-and-collect and delivery.
How does Click & Collect work?
- Build the order on the official Glen Innes page (madbutcher.co.nz/glen-innes).
- Choose pickup as the fulfilment method.
- Collect the order seven days a week after 12 pm.
The same-day delivery option extends the same ordering system: Monday to Friday, selected Auckland suburbs, subject to availability and a possible delivery fee, per the official store page. The sources reviewed don’t mention a minimum order value, so the practical check is to build the cart and see what checkout offers for your address.
Which suburbs get home delivery?
- Delivery window: Monday to Friday.
- Catchment: selected Auckland suburbs, confirmed during the ordering process.
- Same-day delivery: available when capacity allows, with a possible fee.
The official page does not publish a full suburb list in the sources reviewed, so the eligible areas are confirmed when you enter your address at checkout. For anyone outside the catchment, click-and-collect is the reliable route: order online and pick up after 12 pm at 175 Line Road.
The implication: for shoppers outside the delivery zone, the 12 pm pickup rule makes the store an afternoon destination — plan the trip around the threshold, not around the opening hours.
Mad Butcher Glen Innes Timeline
Three moments define the public record of this store: its claimed founding, the 2019 liquidation, and its current digital status.
- — The official Glen Innes page says the store was established that year.
- — NZ Herald reports the Glen Innes store was placed into liquidation.
- As of the latest check — the official store page is live, and the store’s Facebook and Instagram feeds are posting deals.
The gap between the second and third lines is where the uncertainty sits: no source reviewed here documents how the store moved from a 2019 liquidation report to a live ordering page.
What’s Confirmed and What’s Still Unclear
Here is the score after sorting official sources from the news record.
Confirmed facts
- Address: 175 Line Road, Glen Innes, Auckland 1072 (Mad Butcher official store locator).
- Phone: 09-521-0903; email: gleninnes@madbutcher.co.nz (Mad Butcher official store page).
- Liquidation: reported by NZ Herald in April 2019.
What’s unclear
- Whether the store operates under the same ownership or reopened under a new franchisee.
- Whether the physical storefront is open for walk-in shopping or orders are fulfilled online only.
- What changed legally between the April 2019 liquidation and the store’s active status today.
- Whether Click & Collect is still seven days a week with pickup after 12 pm (Mad Butcher official store page).
- Whether delivery is still Monday to Friday to selected Auckland suburbs (Mad Butcher official store page).
- Whether the current status (official website live; social media active) will persist (Mad Butcher official store page and social media).
The pattern: every confirmed fact traces back to either the brand’s own pages or the 2019 news report — and the missing link between them is exactly where the uncertainty sits.
What the Sources Say
Two lines frame the entire story — one from the brand, one from the newspaper — and they pull in opposite directions.
Glen Innes’s Butcher
Mad Butcher official store page (the brand’s own description of its Glen Innes store)
Another Mad Butcher goes under: Glen Innes store placed into liquidation
NZ Herald, April 2019 headline
The contrast is the story: the brand calls the store “Glen Innes’s Butcher” today, while the paper of record said it went under in 2019. Both statements can be true if the store was restarted after the liquidation — but no source reviewed here closes that loop.
Summary
Mad Butcher Glen Innes is best understood as a store with two records: a live official presence that takes orders today, and a 2019 liquidation headline that never received a public follow-up in the sources reviewed. The reliable path for a shopper is to use the official page and the store’s phone number as the source of truth, and to treat social posts as deal announcements rather than proof of stock. For anyone in Glen Innes or the surrounding Auckland suburbs, the ordering decision comes down to one detail: place the order online and plan the trip after 12 pm — or call 09-521-0903 and confirm the offer before you drive over.
