The Origins
Created from the Merger of the FoodWorks Supermarket Group Ltd (FSG) and Australian United Retailers (AUR) in November 2004 in response to rapid industry consolidation and increased competition, Australian United Retailers Limited (AURL) is an independent retail supermarket group trading under the "FoodWorks" brand.
Foundation members of FoodWorks were originally AUR, Foodstore, FoodWorks, Buy Rite, Cut Price, 727, Rite-Way, Food-Rite, Tuckerbag and Food-Way proprietors.
Today
The Company now has over 710 supermarkets, food and convenience stores spanning seven states / territories nationally with around 390 of these operating under the FoodWorks brand, clearly visible by the fresh orange and green logo design and signage.
The past two years has seen the brand go from strength to strength, becoming Australia's second largest leading independent supermarket retailing group, supporting in excess of $1.35 billion in annual sales at the retail level.
Today, FoodWorks prides itself on its fresh, contemporary approach to retail whilst still retaining a friendly, community-focused relationship with its customers. Each and every retailer in FoodWorks is different and all have a strong sense of independence, but all proudly uphold the positioning statement ‘FoodWorks ~ Works for Me'.
