The new IGA Supermarket in Brighton opened on 29 November, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring local dignitaries who completed a walk through of the new store.

The Brighton store, which cost $13 million to develop, is now the largest IGA in Tasmania. The store offers a wide selection of groceries, fresh produce, and Tasmanian products.

It’s expected to create over 100 jobs for the local community, and has 84 easy-access parking spots. The supermarket is also home to three popular retailers: Cellarbrations, Banjo’s Bakery Café and Subway.

The store was developed by Tasmanian Independent Retailers (TIR), who have 85 IGA member stores across Tasmania. “We are thrilled to bring this state-of-the-art IGA supermarket to Brighton,” said TIR CEO, Drew Freeman. “This project not only demonstrates our commitment to supporting local communities and suppliers but also highlights our dedication to offering Tasmanians a premier shopping experience.” The IGA is located at 162 Brighton Road, Brighton.
