Michael and Roz White started their retailing journey on the Sunshine Coast with the purchase of a small convenience store in October 1993. From these humble beginnings grew the White's IGA Group. Today the group consists of five supermarkets located across Queensland, employing over 400 people. Their newsest venture at Baringa on the Sunshine Coast, epitomises Michael's and Roz's values towards business - commitment to customer service, value for money and support of their staff and local communities.
One way in which they do this is through the commitment to their Locavore culture. “We have a Locavore policy which means we strive to support local suppliers where ever possible, which our customers appreciate. All of this forms part of producing a very unique product range for each individual store“. The kitchen at the Baringa store produces between 300 - 400 meals per day ranging from home style meals, bakery, convenience products and roast meats.
