National IGA Rising Star of the Year Award
A massive round of applause for Dion Aloi, our Rowville Store Manager, who was awarded the National IGA Rising Star of the Year. Dion is the first team member in Ritchies' history to win this distinguished national award. Starting his journey at our Wantirna store, Dion has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication. His commitment to excellence has earned him this well-deserved recognition. We are incredibly proud of Dion and look forward to his continued success with Ritchies.

This achievement reflects our ongoing efforts to design environmentally responsible stores. Kudos to our design team, especially Jarrod Swine, Richard Hobbs, and TRG Architects, for their outstanding work in creating sustainable retail spaces.
