This article is about the American supermarket chain. For the Australian chain, see IGA Supermarkets (Australia). For the Canadian chain mostly active in the Province of Québec, see IGA (Canada).
IGA, Inc. is a voluntary chain of grocery stores that operates in more than 41 countries. Unlike the chain store business model, IGA operates as a franchise through stores that are owned separately from the brand. Many of these stores operate in small-town markets and belong to families that manage them. It was founded in the United States as the Independent Grocers Alliance in 1926. The headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.[1]
