The Company

Adelaide’s favourite marketplace

Adelaide Central Market boasts over 150 years of history and is one of the largest undercover fresh produce markets in the South Hemisphere, and a premier food destination for multicultural cuisine.

The Challenge

Future-proofing required

Facing repeated closures caused by Covid19 lockdowns, the client needed an insurance policy against future closures, as well as to increase revenue streams and up their market share to recover from lost business.

The Solution

Pivoting to eCommerce

We took on the monumental task of adding an online store to the Market. Using ShopifyPlus, we gave customers the ability to purchase groceries 24/7 from the Market’s 40+ independent traders and have their produce delivered straight to their door, with one easy transaction.

The Results

Producing results

Adding an online presence gave Adelaide Central Market a huge competitive edge over their competitors, and in the first 12 months alone, they saw an incredible 560% increase in sales.
