Lewis to cream the south

Written by 

Incredibly popular Lewis Road Creamery chocolate milk will be available in the South Island this winter.

 

South Island retailers will get their stocks thanks to the construction of a second milk processing plant.

The company has had swags of requests from South Island retailers wanting the chocolate milk, which caused a buying frenzy in North Island supermarkets at the end of 2014.
