Ritchies Towerhill is a brand-new supermarket and liquor store in Frankston, Victoria, redefining the grocery shopping experience.
The anticipation surrounding this grand opening was palpable, and for good reason. Ritchies Towerhill store, one of the company’s oldest stores still trading, was demolished near a year ago to make way for what can only be described as more than “just another grocery store”. “It’s a destination that promises to elevate the shopping experience to new heights.” Based on Ritchies highly successful ‘Fine Food & Wine’ model, Ritchies Towerhill is a game-changer.

Prior to the re-launch, Ritchies Towerhill’s liquor team made a name for themselves in the craft beer circle. The knowledgeable staff earned a name for themselves as “the go-to” destination to help shoppers make the perfect selection.
“The opening of Ritchies Towerhill is more than just another retail event, it’s a milestone in Ritchies quest for premium shopping experiences,” Mr Harrison said. “If the turn out opening day was anything to go by, it would seem Ritchies have hit the mark perfectly.
“With a crowd building outside more akin to an Apple product launch, Ritchies Stores thanks the team and hands over the ribbon cutting duties to Jennifer, Janine and Karen Taranto, daughters of original landlords, Dr Bob and Pam Taranto,” he said.
Ribbon cut and the store officially open, locals pour into the store and continue to do so all day marking this one of Ritchies “best ever” store openings.
“If you’re ever on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula make sure to drop by and explore the newest shopping destination in Frankston (Towerhill) and be among the first to experience the extraordinary fresh departments and unbeatable variety at Ritchies Towerhill,” Mr Harrison said.
