IGA Thornlands has won this year’s Retail Transformation and Innovation award at the annual IGA Awards of Excellence, held on the Gold Coast on July 18.
The award was given to retailers Leanne and Tyrone Jones and their team who have transformed the IGA Thornlands store into a gourmet food destination over the past year. Mr Jones said the customer demand for both fresh, grocery and general merchandise have continued to grow.
The award was one of five given from different categories. This year the awards also recognised suppliers and the role played in supporting the IGA network.
CEO of Supermarkets, Steven Cain said the IGA Awards of Excellence acknowledged the hard work, commitment and excellence demonstrated by the stores.
“Leading Queensland stores have performed exceptionally well, and the store’s dedicated work for the benefit of their local community, staff and the independent retail grocery industry have been deservedly recognised with these awards,” he said.
