Partnering with Independent Stores

"Our retail team is the most diverse of any kind. We are not distracted by outside factors and are focused on making a difference every day."

Partnered with our suppliers with exceptional range and quality, we have the products for every community's need from supermarkets, clubs, mechanical workshops, takeaways and electrical to hardware stores.

As a leading remote retailer proving our ability to operate major community stores in Arnhem Land, we were recognised and requested to manage stores on behalf of other independent aboriginal and community corporations.

We began consulting in the early 1980s and continue to provide a trusted and professional store operations service across the country.

We currently operate in 12 independent stores outside of the ALPA business and continue to expand this business in line with growing demand from corporate clients.

Independent stores

  • Ajurumu Store (Warruwi, South Goulburn Island, NT)
  • Initi Store (Mutitjulu, NT)
  • Kalkarinji Store (Kalkarinji, NT)
  • Lajamanu Store, Mechanical Workshop and Service Station (Lajamanu, NT)
  • Malandari Store (Borroloola, NT)
  • Mikbamurra Store (Umbakumba, NT)
  • Minyerri Store (Minyerri, NT)

  • Nganmarriyanga Store (Nganmarriyanga, NT)
  • Pirlangimpi Store (Pirlangimpi, Melville Island, NT)

Other business management 

In addition to managing the retail stores, ALPA also supports the operation of other local enterprises, including the Mechanical Workshop and Service Station in Lajamanu. This helps strengthen local business capacity, create jobs, and ensure essential services are available within the community.
