About Friendly Grocer

We are part of a buying group acting on behalf of all our members to provide very competitive prices to all our customers. With over 240 stores in QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, with all stores owned, run and managed by local people. Friendly Grocer is "Just around the corner"  with 111 stores.

The Friendly Grocer Brand

The Friendly Grocer brand was introduced in 2006 when we decided that it was time to give the group a new brand direction for the future of our 
members and customers. Built on the success of Four Square, the Friendly Grocer brand reflects a strong, clear direction in retail, along with a trusted name.
