Victoria welcomes first SUPA VALU

SUPA VALU Delahey officially began investing this week, bringing “supa savings” to buyers in Melbourne’s north-west suburbs.

The retailer is owned by Morgan’s IGA Supermarkets and previously traded as Morgan’s SUPA IGA Delahey.

Handling Director Neal Morgan suggests the opening, which adopted 6 months of spectacular refurbishments (investing all through) was excitedly welcomed by purchasers.

“It’s been a incredibly effective opening. In all probability 1 of the most thriving openings I can keep in mind heading back again a extended time,” he claims.

With several customers dealing with steep rises in price of living, the opening of SUPA VALU could not have come at a better time, he provides.

“This has been in the works for 3 or 4 yrs, but of class, Covid and the lockdowns got in the way. No a person knew inflation was likely to skyrocket like this, but it has, and the persons in Delahey are loving our supply, we’re getting smashed.”

Talking with Retail Environment forward of the store’s 1st weekend of trade, Mr Morgan suggests the workforce are bracing themselves for more crowds.

“We’re functioning hard to maintain replenished. There’s a lot of inventory coming in from the Metcash warehouse and direct from suppliers. We never want to disappoint anyone, so we’re performing tricky on our stop to get things back on the shelves.”

Mr Morgan prolonged his thanks to the Metcash crew for their “incredible assist and resources” in finalising the store.

“We were battling a headwind of labour shortages, Covid absenteeism, equipment and supply complications, stock shortages – it was just endless. It took a massive team hard work concerning Metcash and Morgans to basically get it off the ground. I’m chuffed that we got it performed on time. It was an definitely super work.”

SUPA VALU Delahey is positioned on Taylors Road and is open up 7am-10pm each day.

The warehouse-model retail store purchases and shows items in bulk to cut down on fees and passes the cost savings on to clients

“It’s definitely exciting and I think Metcash and Morgan’s have absolutely nailed it,” Mr Morgan says.
