IGA, Inc., is a franchised chain of grocery stores that operates in more than 41 countries. Unlike chain stores IGA franchises are independently owned and operated. Many of these stores operate in small-town markets and belong to families that manage them. IGA was founded in the United States as the Independent Grocers Alliance in 1926. The headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.[1]
