A NEW chapter is unfolding at Glass House Mountains IGA, with a new family-run business operator taking over the reins from long-standing owners Ashley and Casandra Grigor.
The Grigors, who have operated supermarkets since 2007, announced the sale on November 19, marking the end of an era.
“We’ve loved working alongside our amazing team, loyal customers, and suppliers,” the Grigors said. “Saying goodbye brought tears to our eyes and showed us the true power of community,
“Thank you to all our team at Glasshouse, we will greatly miss your happiness, laughter and team work. We walked away knowing we had made a positive difference in people’s lives.”
The new owners bring a wealth of experience, managing several supermarkets across Queensland and Western Australia, including IGA Landsborough, as well as cafés and bars including Maple 3 Café Maleny.
New business manager Yash Gadhiya will lead operations. “We’re excited to become part of the Glass House Mountains community and continue delivering the friendly service locals have come to expect,” Mr Gadhiya said.
The store will retain its current staff and maintain its strong community focus, while bringing fresh energy and expertise.
