The store was named after Roger Drake, who opened the store in 1974. The first branch of the store was in Mitcham, South Australia. The brand initially operated under Metacash Foodland, IGA, or Supa IGA. As time went on, the brand grew and became the largest private-owned and independent supermarket chain, with over 60 stores in Queensland and South Australia. Drakes store has three different liquor stores within South Australia. It also has an online store that engages in the sales of groceries with different catalogues. By 2013, the company has generated over a billion Australian dollars annually. It has also employed more than 5,500 steps nationally and owns the largest Foodland stores in the country. By 2019, it split away from the stores, as the brand evolved to serve Australians better. Today, the Drake Supermarket has partnered with many brands to become stronger.

Drakes Supermarket is much more than a store for groceries and daily supplies, but is a one-stop store for family needs. As a result, Drake Supermarket has great deals and amazing offers for individuals and families to choose from. There are several promos, coupons, and discounts that families and individuals can enjoy when shopping from Drake Supermarket. Drake Supermarket also has an online market that equally offers these amazing deals on sales. This means getting your groceries from the store to your cooking bench. To serve you better, we have developed our fruits, vegetables, and meat distribution centers to ensure more effective and guaranteed quality.

Technology has affected how stores and supermarkets operate around the world. At Drake Supermarket, we are not left behind, as we intend to ensure our customers enjoy the benefits of technology as well. Therefore, we have opened an online store, to cater to the needs of our customers all over Australia. We have also set up a delivery service to help our customers get the best out of the system. Our website is easy to use with different catalogues for various products. Each catalogue also has different brands for you to choose from.

At Drake Supermarket, we are deeply concerned about the well-being of our community and are directly involved in its development. This is why we have launched a unique community funding program known as community dollar. Volunteer organizations and individuals can join the group and pass tags on people who shop at the store. 1c is donated from every $1 spent at the store. Through this, we have been able to generate more than $500,000 between 2018 and 2020 and even them out to charitable organizations across Queensland and South Australia.
