Congratulations to IGA>D Queensland: 2012 IGA Global LDC of the Year!

Congratulations to IGA>D Queensland: 2012 IGA Global LDC of the Year!

 February 1, 2012 

Each of our Licensed Distribution Companies—both here in the U.S. and overseas—have a special role to play within our IGA family. It's true they provide the day-to-day support and programming for IGA retailers, but they also work with IGA retailers to support the communities they serve. In doing so, they make the IGA brand stronger for us all.

IGA Australia's IGA>D Queensland overcame a number of significant obstacles in 2011, including maintaining operations during flooding that affected over 70 percent of the state, and also following a Category 5 Cyclone that impacted much of the northern part of the state. IGA>D Queensland worked with local communities, the state government and emergency services to ensure people had drinking water and food during and after Queensland's historic natural disasters, going so far as to establish temporary warehousing so that IGA stores could get supplies to help their local communities.

IGA>D Queensland also faced a challenging economic climate in Australia and a very tough competitive environment, and yet still managed to grow sales, open new stores and further improve service to customers.

This year at the Global Rally we will honor IGA>D Queensland for its extraordinary effort in support of its IGA retailers and the IGA brand by presenting them with the IGA Global President's Cup Award.

We here at IGA are proud to add "2012 Global LDC of the Year" to IGA>D Queensland's long list of accomplishments, and hope you will join us in Las Vegas at the IGA Global Rally to celebrate this and the many other success stories of our IGA brand.

Thanks,

Mark Batenic
