Oh what a night 🌟 Last night, the Gold Coast lit up as we celebrated the outstanding contribution IGA retailers from across the country make to their local communities. MC extraordinaries Julia Morris and Hamish Macdonald hosted this year's IGA Awards of Excellence, bringing to life the importance of local retailers and celebrating their dedication, hard work, and independent spirit—You Can't Beat Local! The fun-filled evening was full of accolades, acknowledgements and a whole lot of entertainment. Guests were treated to performances from a stellar line-up of artists: Mitch Tambo, Katie Noonan, Isaiah Firebrace, Troy Cassar-Daley, Kate Ceberano, and John Foreman and the IGA Orchestra. Australian singer and actor, Cody Simpson, also made an appearance to perform the Australian National Anthem. Throughout the night, we celebrated another huge year for our IGA retailers, and the evening was abuzz with people connecting and celebrating their successes. Huge congratulations to each and every one of our finalists and winners who have tirelessly supported their local communities over the years. 🥁 A huge round of applause for the 2025 IGA National Retailer of the Year: Romeo's Foodland IGA Royal Park 🎉 Warmest congratulations to our 2025 Hall of Fame inductee: Jean Cowley 🥇 Check out the full list of winners across every category below—jump into the comments and congratulate them on their success! #MetcashFoodExpo2025 #Metcash #YouCantBeatLocal #IGA #IGANationalAwardsOfExcellence #PartOfSomethingBigger
