About IGA
We understand that today we are a culturally diverse nation of more that 23 million people with different likes and dislikes.
That’s why, through our network of independently owned stores (all 1,400 of them) we tailor our ranges and brands to give our local customers more of what they like it. This includes many of your favourite brands, the ones you may no longer find on shelves in other supermarkets.
We proudly support Aussie producers too by stocking ranges of locally made products.
We actively participate in the communities around our stores doing whatever we can to help local schools, surf clubs or hospitals whether it’s footie balls for the under 14’s or life-saving equipment.
Though IGA Community Chest we continually raise funds to support local communities, charities and other worthwhile causes, to date we’ve put well over $60 million back into communities across the country.
But at the beginning of each day, we open our doors for one reason and one reason only, to deliver a shopping experience how the locals like it.
