Ritchies became the sponsor of Crewman Dave Wells in 2008.

Ritchies Supermarkets and Liquor Stores - In 1870, when Thomas Ritchie opened a grocery store in the tiny country settlement of Frankston, he did so intent on three things — keeping his shop competitive, rewarding staff, and donating part of his profit back to the community.

Now approaching 150 years in business, Ritchies is proud of its status as Australia’s largest independent supermarket and liquor chain, a company in which many staff have shares and our founder’s 'shilling for every pound' offer has grown into the Community Benefit program. It currently donates many millions of dollars each year to the clubs, kindergartens, schools and charities nominated by its shoppers.
