Festival IGA Supermarkets


Festival IGA Supermarkets was a branding name for IGA.

History

The name was launched in June 1992 in Victoria by Davids Holdings. The first Festival IGA supermarkets were launched in Canberra on 26 October 1992 in Hackett, Lyneham, Florey, Charnwood, Kingston and Hawker.
Within 1995, more Festival IGA Supermarkets were opened throughout Canberra and New South Wales: Deakin, Richardson, Kaleen, Jindabyne, Tumut, Merimbula, Moruya, Batemans Bay, Ainslie and Wanniassa.
By 1999, the Festival brand had disappeared and was renamed under the IGA banner. However, the IGA Supermarkets in Tasmania kept the Festival branding until at least 2012.
