Loyal Craigie Fresh IGA staff are still working there 25 years later

They bought the store at Craigie Plaza shopping centre, appointed Dave Allan as the store manager and are celebrating 25 years in business.

Most of the staff were kept on with the new management and several are still at Craigie Fresh IGA today.

‘The staff has come to know many of the regular customers, their children and in some cases their grandchildren,’ a spokesman said.

‘Within a short time of purchasing the store, the selling area was increased in size and since then there have been two major refurbishments.

The store has sponsored sports clubs, charities and supported local schools.
