Deer Park IGA evolves with new additions and expansions

Since Hitesh Palta and his family took over Deer Park IGA in November 2020, they have been dedicated to continuously improving and expanding the store, turning it into a vibrant, community-focused shopping hub.

While the store has already seen significant upgrades — including a larger product range, expanded departments, and a growing team of local employees — Deer Park IGA is far from finished. The store continues to evolve, offering more services and products to better serve the Deer Park community.

A recent exciting addition is the opening of a local butcher section, which now offers a wide range of high-quality meats, including halal meat options, catering to the diverse needs of the local community. This new service has been well-received by customers, many of whom appreciate the convenience of having fresh, local meat available right in their neighbourhood.

In addition to the butcher, Deer Park IGA has also introduced Tattslotto services, making it easy for customers to try their luck while doing their grocery shopping.

Mr Palta is particularly excited about the recent growth of the shopping centre in which Deer Park IGA is located. With more new shops opening, there’s a strong sense of community spirit, and Mr Palta is proud to be part of this positive transformation.

“We’re really happy to see new shops opening and the centre becoming a hub for local shopping. It’s great to support the other businesses in the area as we all work together to create a strong, thriving community,“ he said.

Deer Park IGA is now truly a one-stop shop, catering to all your grocery, hardware, toy, and gift needs. As part of the IGA network, the store also continues to support the IGA Community Chest Program, which helps fund local initiatives and gives back to the community.

For those looking to drop by, Deer Park IGA is open seven days a week with the following hours:

• Thursday: 7am–9pm

• Friday: 7am–9pm

• Saturday: 7am–9pm

• Sunday: 8am–8pm

• Monday: 7am–9pm

• Tuesday: 7am–9pm

• Wednesday: 7am–9pm

The store is located at 10/8 Hatchlands Drive. Drop in and say hello to the friendly team, explore the expanded range, and enjoy the convenience of shopping at a store that’s dedicated to supporting the local community.
