Created from a merger of the FoodWorks Supermarket Group Ltd (FSG) and Australian United Retailers (AUR) in November 2004 in response to rapid industry consolidation and increased competition, Australian United Retailers Limited (AURL) is an independent retail supermarket group trading under the "FoodWorks" brand. Today, FoodWorks now has over 600 supermarkets, food and convenience stores spanning every state and territory in Australia with around 400 of these operating under the FoodWorks brand, clearly visible by the fresh orange and green logo design and signage. The past two years has seen the brand go from strength to strength, becoming Australia's largest leading truly independent supermarket retailing group, supporting in excess of $3 billion in annual sales at the retail level. Today, FoodWorks prides itself on its fresh, contemporary approach to retail whilst still retaining a friendly, community-focused relationship with its customers. Each and every retailer in FoodWorks is different and all have a strong sense of independence.
