Kiwis have revealed what they want to do most when the lockdown is lifted - and some huge surges are projected.
According to the Horizon Research poll, in the first six months there will be a giant spike for fast food outlets, hardware stores, garden centres and cafes - with Kiwis also keen for a road trip after more than a month indoors.
In the retail sector, the number using petrol stations will jump from 43 percent of adults to 82 percent (from 1,553,200 people to an estimated 2,930,100 people).
Kiwis appear keen to get back into their DIY, with the number using hardware stores predicted to lift from 4 percent during the lockdown to 52 percent (151,000 now, rising to 1,876,600).
Gardening centres too will see a resurgence, going from 3 percent to 44 percent - an increase of 1,478,000 people.
Supermarkets - which have remained open throughout the level 4 lockdown - will continue to lead, rising just 3 percent from 86 to 89 percent.
The biggest increases will be other food and drink suppliers like cafes, restaurants, bakeries and fast food businesses.
Cafes rank seventh for intended visits: 51 percent of adults say they will use a café - or around 1,837,200 adults.
Just over 2 million say they will visit the takeaways, and around 1.37 million are keen to hit up a liquor store.
