The Carlo's IGA group website lists 14 IGA and Supa IGA outlets in NSW and one other store at North Tamborine, Queensland, with head offices in North Parramatta.
The local grocery chain began in the early 1980s, according to the company's website, when Mr Cavallaro purchased three Payless Supermarkets and moved to Tamworth.
The group is said to employ around 1500 people.
