We are very proud and excited to announce that Ritchies Dromana has been recognised as the "2002 IGA Retailer of the Year". Stores in 40 countries competed for this title and Ritchies Dromana was voted "No.1" in the world. While Dromana may be the winning store, this award is for all people working at Ritchies. It reflects the spirit, commitment and ability of all our staff in the Ritchies operation.

This is a very proud moment for us all!

Congratulations to the team at Dromana for winning the Victorian award, the National award, and now this International award, and congratulations to our customers for helping us become the "World Champions" by shopping at Ritchies - where the whole community benefits.
