A family-owned supermarket in Adelaide’s north has officially been crowned the world’s best by its global peers at a recent awards ceremony in Vegas.
According to Adelaide Now, Saints Road Foodland, in Salisbury Plain, was named IGA International Retailer of the Year in Las Vegas, securing the top honour from more than 6,000 stores worldwide.
Saints Foodland director, Spero Tsapaliaris, and Foodland chief executive Franklin dos Santos were among those on hand to accept the award, presented by the Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA), which was founded in 1962, and operates in more than 30 countries.
The John Chapley family owns Saints Foodland, which is run by Mr Tsapaliaris, who also serves as the chairman of Foodland Supermarkets.
Last year, Saints won the national prize, along with IGA National Large Store of the Year, allowing them to represent Australia in the global event.
