Romeo’s Foodland

The Romeo’s Retail Group is a powerhouse of independent grocery retailing, founded by Tony Romeo in 1987. What started as a single store in Elizabeth has grown into a massive network of Foodland and IGA supermarkets across South Australia and New South Wales. The Romeo family has remained steadfast in their commitment to independent retail, successfully competing with national giants by focusing on local community needs and high-quality fresh produce. Their flagship Rundle Mall location is a modern urban supermarket that caters to the city’s diverse needs, offering gourmet deli selections and ready-to-eat meals alongside standard groceries. The business remains 100% family-owned and operated, with several generations involved in the daily management. By prioritizing South Australian suppliers and maintaining a personal touch, Romeo’s Foodland has become a symbol of local entrepreneurial success and a vital supporter of the state’s food producers and local economy.
