The IGA Awards of Excellence acknowledge the dedicated efforts of the stores and their teams in their local communities. They herald the winning stores as setting the benchmark for the 1,400 other independent supermarkets across the IGA retail network. There are six regions in QLD. Each region nominates a supermarket for the above awards. One supermarket is named the winner in the aforementioned categories. The state winners are then nominated for the national award, competing against the other states. The national awards are judged on a range of criteria, including what the store is famous for, customer service, community contribution, department excellence, brand values, sales, profits, merchandising, shopper experience and the store’s overall performance. We’re proud to have been recognised with so many awards.
