Video celebrates the grand opening event for the IGA supermarket in Tennant Creek - the whole community was invited to participate in the celebrations.
Julalikari Council Aboriginal Corporation and IBA co-own the IGA supermarket and BP Service Station in Tennant Creek. The supermarket and service station are operated by IBA subsidiary, IBA Retail Asset Management (IRAM).
After a fire destroyed the supermarket in 2020, a temporary pop-up store was housed in the BP to ensure community had a consistent food supply during the rebuild process. A grand opening event was held in March 2022 to celebrate the refurbished store and thank the community for its patience.
Chair of Julalikari Linda Turner said the reopening of the store was an exciting day. She said, “This building, this business and the services and goods to be provided, represents our future as a town."
