Supermarket shopping has been taken to the next level

After undergoing the transformation of a lifetime, the state-of-the-art Ritchies SUPA IGA Balnarring has set a new standard for supermarkets and delivers a shopping experience like no other.

You’ll be mesmerised by the lavish displays and gourmet options. Upon entry, you’ll find the Entertaining Hub, an area of the store that resembles a traditional food hall more than a supermarket. Call past the deli and you’ll find an endless range of fresh meats for sale, and there’s the extensive range of local and imported cheeses that are perfectly paired with produce from the dry-aged meat display.

The supermarket’s variety of hot and easy dinner options has expanded greatly, so peruse the range of roast vegetables, side dishes, roast pork and more. If seafood’s your go, you’ll be impressed by the rotating seafood case within the refrigerated deli. As the only one of its kind in Australia, the flat circular rotating display is filled with ice and kept topped up with a fresh selection of seafood and caviar. Love your steak thick? With butchers on site daily at the meat servery, customers can request cuts to suit. Likewise, the fresh chicken department has a variety of your favourite chicken dishes ready to cook at home.

With a strong emphasis on sourcing locally wherever possible, Ritchies Balnarring’s organic case is filled with organic produce from the Mornington Peninsula. Pick up an orange juice that is squeezed daily on site or a delicious juice blend from the cold-pressed juice machine. Be tempted by freshly popped popcorn or fruit salad prepared in store.

Freshly baked loaves of bread, flatbread, fresh mousses, custard tarts and trifle can be found at the bakery. As an exclusive supplier to Brunetti Classico, you’ll be enticed by the large assortment of petite cakes and cafe-style creations. You’re spoilt for choice with sushi and a selection of hot Japanese dishes. Not to be missed is the healthy living section, which stocks wholesome options for grocery lines.

The team haven’t forgotten about the liquor department either. Well-known for a fantastic range of local beers and spirits already, they’ve somehow found the next level. Stepping into the store, it’s hard to miss the dedicated wine room. Featuring an impressive domed brick ceiling, it’s home to the largest selection of Peninsula wines anywhere in the region. With tastings available, do not miss the chance to sample some of the best wines this area has to offer. 

Nothing short of remarkable, this world-class supermarket and liquor store is a step above the rest. Experience it for yourself today.

Opening hours: grocery daily 7.30am-9pm; liquor store Monday-Saturday 9am-9pm; Sunday 10am-8pm
