ABOUT US
How We Became Australia's Home of All Things American Food Culture
In 1993, Phil and Jeanette moved from the United States to Melbourne, bringing with them a love for American flavours. Noticing a gap in the market for authentic American ingredients, they started a small sandwich shop in Melbourne's CBD. Alongside their sandwiches, they offered a selection of American products sent by family members. These items quickly outshone the sandwiches in popularity, leading Phil and Jeanette to focus solely on American groceries.
In 1997, they opened the first USA Foods store near Gardenvale Station in Brighton. The shop became a hub for those seeking unique American products, with an ever-growing inventory directly imported from the USA. As demand surged, the Brighton location became too snug, prompting a move to Bentleigh.
The Bentleigh store quickly became a local favourite. In 2001, USA Foods was among the pioneers in Australia to offer online grocery shopping. The store also embraced community events, hosting Halloween trick-or-treating that attracted over 400 children, creating cherished memories for families. As the business flourished, it became evident that a larger space was needed, leading to the next move to Moorabbin.
Bigger, Better & Still Growing
Settling in Moorabbin, USA Foods found a spacious home with ample warehouse facilities, enabling them to meet the growing online demand and stock a wider range of products. The current location at 67-73 Cochranes Rd boasts a large warehouse, office space, freezer room, and a storefront powered by solar energy, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
On April 30th, 2022, USA Foods celebrated its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of bringing beloved American flavours to Australia. The journey from a small sandwich shop to Australia's premier destination for American groceries has been fueled by a passion for food and community.
