IGA Retailers face the same challenges as non-branded independents but they have one distinct advantage—IGA Retailers are not out there alone. They start each day with the security of a branded identity known to consumers for more than 80 years, and with the support of a partnership including retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers known around the world.

IGA independent grocers have access to the industry’s largest group of their peers, trading partners, and customized brand-building programs anywhere in the industry. And while IGA has brand standards for image, identity, and store operations to guide retailers toward success, it hasn’t forgotten the most important fact—IGA Retailers are successful because they’re independent and responsive to their local communities.
