Congratulations to our 2012 IGA International Retailers of the Year!

 

 January 31, 2012 

This past December we shared with you that that three outstanding IGA retailers—Dennis Darling of Foods Etc. IGA, Guy LaPerle of LaPerle's IGA Plus and Brooks Marsh of Mahomet IGA—will be honored as our 2012 IGA USA International Retailers of the Year at our Global Rally Awards of Excellence Banquet in Las Vegas. And now today, I have the pleasure of announcing that our winners circle is complete. After a selection process taking place in their own countries, two IGA couples will join our USA Retailers as 2012 International Retailers of the Year:

Michael_Rosemary_Lorenz

IGA Australia International
Retailers of the Year

Michael & Rosemary Lorenz
Michael's Supa IGA Leongatha of
Laverton North, Victoria, Australia

 

Shiquan_Shen_Su_XiIGA China International
Retailers of the Year

Shiquan Shen & Su Xi

Together our 2012 IGA International Retailers of the Year represent the best the grocery retailing world has to offer, and I am particularly proud to have them as members of our IGA family.

Stay tuned to The Independent View next week for firsthand accounts of our award winners' retailing philosophies, and look to iga.com for photos following the Awards Banquet on Feb. 13.

Thanks,
