Bernardi’s IGA – Tony Bernardi

I came to Forbes over 60 years ago, and this rich agricultural region was a great
location for me to start my market gardening business. After five years I began
life as a retailer, and from small beginnings in 1969 our Forbes supermarket is
now the flagship store of our five supermarkets in Central West NSW. We live by
our motto 'Pick Local', and source much of our fresh produce from local growers
in the Central West, who recognise Forbes as an important and convenient
marketplace. Our emphasis on fruit and vegetables fresh from local growers to
our shelves gives us a unique edge over our competitors. The Forbes community
has supported our business and has been a great place to bring up a growing
family, with the third generation continuing to work locally in the business,
enjoying all the benefits Forbes has to offer.
