In 1974, Drakes Supermarkets was founded by the business's owner and founder, Roger Drake. Its mission is to provide customers with outstanding service, excellent value, a huge variety of high-quality products, and a pleasurable shopping experience. Drakes has more than 60 locations in Queensland and South Australia to satisfy consumer demand. Roger and his son JP Drake purchased Drake's Para Hills, originally known as Bridge Road Market, in order to open a Drakes Mini. This small store is situated just off Bridge Road and services customers in the Para Hills communities of Greenwith, Mawson Lakes, and Parafield.

Drakes is a sizable publicly traded firm, which has a number of advantages and hazards to take into account. Before delving further into the potential and risks of a public firm, it is important to note that Rodger and JP Drake, the owners of Drakes, effectively promote their establishment by showcasing a family-friendly workplace culture. With this, they effectively market their company, making it stand out more than other significant public supermarkets like Woolworths and Coles.

The positives of having a public business include the following:

• More influx of money

• increased public awareness

• better valuation

• attract better customers

However there are some negatives such as the following:

• enhanced reporting requirements

• everyone has greater access to business reports (financials)

• more difficult to manage / maintain

• political interference

There are advantages and disadvantages to running a huge public firm, as was briefly illustrated. However, I think the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, and becoming public is a significant step towards expansion.

The operations of Drakes Para Hills are quite basic. Drakes depends on people entering the store to purchase domestic goods, such as dairy, meat, fruit, and vegetables, as well as produce. The benefit of this straightforward operational method is that, unlike many internet retailers, clients may develop a relationship with the company. Drakes strives to continue satisfying its consumers and offers exceptional customer satisfaction. This business model has the drawback that several of Drake's rivals, like Coles and Woolworths, now provide internet shopping so that customers may purchase at home. Drakes also have this choice, however it isn't widely known that they do. and rather this handy function being on their main website, Drakes have a separate web browser to combat their online orders.
