Following its grand opening on November 30, Tatura’s IGA had been a booming success with a “constant steady flow”, store manager Sheree Wootton said.
Being the first of its kind in country Victoria, expectations and anticipation for Ritchie’s Food and Wine store was at an all time high, and due to its large range and community support, the store has been a “great success”.
Ritchie’s store development manager Richard Hobbs said at the opening the store would be “fantastic for the town” and the months following have proved this true.
Still in its first stage, the store has its own bakery, sushi, vegan and gourmet sections, as well as an on-site butcher, and further expansions are in the works.
Sheree said it had been a great addition to the town, as it allowed people to “stay within the community” and have access to everything they needed, from baked goods to gourmet food.
Local support has made the months following the store’s opening easy and enjoyable.
“I just want to thank the community for their ongoing support,” Sheree said.
The second stage is expected to arrive in May and will include additional grocery aisles, a freezer section, a liquor store and liquor drive-through.
