Kylie and Dom have taken a new approach in the industry and in 2014 established something that challenges traditional ideas of what a supermarket or convenience store should be—and so welcomed the ‘Barton Grocer’.

The RiotACT article – The Insta-worthy Barton grocer – tells the story of how The Barton Grocer is setting a new standard of what we should expect from our local supermarket retailer.
Andrew Sykes says that “the Barton Grocer is more than just a supermarket. From the moment you enter the store, it’s hard not to notice the cool and contemporary vibe oozing from every single corner”.
The article says there is a wide range of unique products, many of which are sourced locally, the store adopts a focus on healthy and whole foods, while also stocking many of the more traditional supermarket lines. Their on-site bottle shop stocks a discerning selection of boutique and local beer and wine which is sure to delight.
There’s even something for the floral-enthusiasts, with the uber-stylish ‘Barton Flower’ bar which is Kylie’s baby.
With the recent addition of a new upmarket café and a fully-equipped commercial kitchen, the store has even built a reputation as the ‘go-to’ when you need a fresh and delicious ready-to-eat take-home meal or catering for an event.
Find the Barton Grocer Supermarket and Bottleshop at 48 Macquarie Street, Barton.
