About Ritchies
Founded in 1870 by Thomas Ritchie, Ritchies is proudly one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted supermarket and liquor retail brands. With over 150 years of history, Ritchies has grown from a single local store to become Australia’s largest independent supermarket and liquor chain.
Our story is one of resilience and community spirit — from Thomas Ritchie's incredible survival of a shipwreck to his legacy of delivering quality, value, and service to Australian families.
Today, Ritchies operates more than 70 stores across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, with a strong focus on supporting local producers, community programs, and delivering an exceptional shopping experience.
