Drakes: A local supermarket for local people

From humble beginnings with a single store in 1974, Drakes Supermarkets has grown into Australia’s largest independent grocery retailer, now employing more than 6,000 team members across over 60 stores in South Australia and Queensland.

While the business has expanded significantly over five decades, the heart of Drakes has remained the same: Family values, exceptional service, and a genuine connection to the communities it serves. Unlike the national chains, Drakes operates as a proudly independent business, one that understands the rhythm of local life and the importance of being a trusted neighbour, not just a place to shop.

Supporting local isn’t just a tagline; it’s a commitment woven into every aspect of the business.

Drakes proudly backs local farmers, manufacturers and suppliers, ensuring customers enjoy high-quality, fresh products while helping strengthen local economies across SA and QLD. When you shop at Drakes, your spend stays closer to home supporting jobs, families and communities that matter.
