About Us

Our History

Supabarn commenced trading in the Canberra City in 1991. What began as a buying group for groceries has expanded into a recognised brand in the ACT and now NSW retail landscape. Supabarn provides the complete package expected of full line supermarkets in today’s competitive and discerning market. Supabarn aims to continue to grow in the ACT and NSW market.

Who We Are

Supabarn is an independent supermarket chain focussed on quality, price and service. We endeavour to buy for our customers the freshest produce, meats and deli products at exceptional prices. We try and buy locally wherever possible and constantly try to reduce the time it takes to get the product to our stores and ultimately to you our customers.

We never buy poor quality or inferior products to create a price perception. When we put or fresh foods on special, these products are the same high quality products that we normally sell. Our buying team has just been able to get a great deal on the product; they never compromise on quality.

We do business with many small and local producers of both fresh and grocery products unavailable to the major chains, whilst always maintaining the wide range of major brands at competitive prices.

The People

The team at Supabarn is representative of the heart and soul of the business.  Customers notice when they experience the Supabarn difference and are not afraid to provide the business with that feedback.

As the largest private employer in the ACT with over 1000 staff, Supabarn is aware of the importance of their dedicated team and the need to constantly invest in training and development, which they see as a re-investment in the business and company growth.

Maintaining a high level of quality, experienced and motivated staff is to provide them with an environment that encourages and rewards input, accountability and original thought.

This has been one of the secrets to Supabarn’s growing list of accomplishments.

In 2008 Supabarn became a Registered Training Organisation, allowing them to provide training to their staff that delivers nationally accredited certificates. Being efficient when using any of the company’s resources in any business today is paramount, and that’s why Supabarn has decided to invest in this area.

The Future

With a commercial development arm Supabarn is now looking to develop two new sites in Kingston and Casey in the ACT and Sans Souci in Sydney’s southern shire district. All sites will involve major construction projects due to commence shortly.
