IGA stands for Independent Grocers Alliance, a company and brand abbreviation.
Network of independently owned supermarkets that share the IGA brand, private-label products and buying power, with stores in several countries. Common in small towns in the United States and Australia.
Example: The IGA in town is the only grocery store for 30 miles.
Usage notes
Founded in Chicago in 1926 to help independent grocers compete with fast-growing chains. Each store is locally owned while using IGA's marketing and "Hometown Proud" identity. IGA itself is a licensing organization rather than a store operator.
