Description

Outback Stores is a company that manages remote stores on behalf of Indigenous communities. It does not own the stores but is engaged by the owners (in most cases the communities) to manage them on a fee-for-service basis. The company was established in 2006.

Outback Stores has four key goals:

• to ensure remote Indigenous communities have access to constant and affordable food supplies
• to provide fresh fruit, vegetables and nutritious food to improve the health of people living in remote communities
• to ensure stores are properly managed and become commercially successful
• to increase Indigenous employment opportunity through local recruitment and training

Outback Stores offers communities a team of experienced supermarket managers backed by systems, training, a voluntary board and good buying power.
