History

The Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA) was founded in 1926 to bring family owned, local grocery stores together under the IGA brand. The organization states that supporting local, family-owned business has been at its core since 1926. It also states that nearly a century later, the support of a nationally known brand is still giving IGA grocers the ability to better compete while allowing them to stay true to who they are—hometown store owners. It further states that communities across the U.S. are being served by second, third and even fourth generation local IGA grocers.
