Everybody's Market has officially teamed with the Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA), a move that owners believe will allow them to offer customers more value while continuing to uphold a community grocer feel.
Sam Morris, son of owner Irving Morris, who has taken on a more prominent role within the company over the last several years, stated that the move was made a few months ago, but the sign indicating that Everybody's Market is now a part of IGA only went up a few weeks ago. The move was made, Morris indicated, to allow Everybody's to “grow as a store” but remain committed to its “roots” as a community grocer.
“We needed to grow with someone and IGA fit the mold perfectly,” said Morris. “If you look at IGA and another major chain, they are both large operations, but one is based on independent stores.”
That commitment by IGA to allow local, one-store operations to retain their uniqueness is what drew Morris to the company in the first place.
