CEO’s Christmas Message
It’s mid-December already! The Christmas decorations are up, stores are brimming with Christmas fare and, as always, our team are making sure everyone else has a wonderful Christmas.
Supermarkets and service stations are such an essential service, always there when people need us, contributing to their quality of life and special occasions.
But services are delivered by people, not stores. As we head towards the end of another year, I want to thank all IRAM team for their continued dedication, hard work and professionalism throughout 2023.

Tennant Creek IGA Grand Opening
Tennant Creek celebrate the grand opening of its new IGA supermarket on 16 March after an extensive reconstruction and fit-out of the old site.
The celebrations include a Welcome to Country, smoking ceremony, ribbon cutting, and a free afternoon tea with a local band and activities for kids.
The original supermarket was destroyed by arson in July 2020, along with three adjoining tenancies. A temporary site was established to maintain a constant supply of food for the local community.
As we re-open Tennant Creek IGA, we reflect on how far we have come.
