Drakes Supermarkets is a regional grocery retailer based in Torrensville, South Australia, operating more than 60 sites across South Australia and Queensland, including newsagents and liquor stores. The company traces its origins to 1974, when its first store opened in Mitcham, SA, and it has grown through a family-influenced culture focused on customer service and ongoing diversification. Beyond traditional supermarket operations, Drakes has developed arms in fruit and vegetable wholesaling, meat production, and warehousing. The business emphasizes ongoing store expansions, operational enhancements, and investments in its people to sustain growth. A notable recent development is the announcement of an $80 million distribution centre in Edinburgh North, SA, as part of its logistics expansion.
