June 18, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peries IGA Group hosted an information evening this week to update Wondai residents about their new store.<\/p>\n

The new shop is being built in Haly Street, Wondai, on the site of the former Boisens building.<\/p>\n

It is scheduled to have a “soft” opening on July 15 followed by a grand opening at 10:30am on Saturday, July 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local residents were invited to come along to the Wondai Memorial Hall on Tuesday night to hear more about the project.<\/p>\n

Peries IGA Group regional manager Sharon Griffin and marketing manager Col Hickey explained the layout of the new supermarket, and answered questions.<\/p>\n

They said the expansion would allow Peries IGA to offer a larger range of items, with more space for groceries as well as bigger dairy, bakery and freezer areas.<\/p>\n

The developers are currently working with the South Burnett Regional Council to repair and upgrade the footpath outside the new store.<\/p>\n

Council has also approached Transport and Main Roads about improving access.<\/p>\n
