Foodland (South Australia)

Foodland is an Australian supermarket brand with 96 locations, primarily in South Australia, but also in the Northern Territory and New South Wales. The stores are independently owned and operated, although several operators own multiple stores. 
History.
The Hoeper family established a grocery store in 1871, at Glenelg South in Adelaide. In 1962, it became the first store to be branded Foodland. It has been expanded and modified over the years to become a small shopping centre, and is now run by Romeo's Retail Group.
Some larger stores were called Foodland SupaFresh, until Foodland decided to stop using the SupaFresh name.
In 2005, the Foodland brand name was bought by Metcash-owned IGA. The stores are independently owned, and reflect their individual owners and locations.
In April 2014, Con Sciacca was appointed Foodland CEO, having previously held several positions at Metcash.
From 2015-2021, Foodland and their customers helped raise a remarkable $82,935 for Minda Inc.
