The Strength Behind Your Local Store

What if every time you walked into your local ag store, you weren’t just getting what you needed, you were backing something bigger?

You’d be backing local jobs. Backing the kids’ footy team.
Backing the bloke who gave you a hand last season.
Backing the people who know your land, your stock, your name.
Because when a store is locally owned, every dollar stays in the region.
Every decision is made by someone who lives here.
And every win ripples through the community.

That’s what happens when you back your backyard.

What we’re backing.

Not just the soil and the sky, but the people.
The ones who open early and stay late.
The ones who know when the rain’s coming by the smell of the air.
Who know your name, your crop, your dad’s shed, and how to get your
hands on the right product, fast.

That’s your local store.

And behind it? A network that believes in keeping decisions on the ground, not in the city.
We give local stores the freedom to run things their way, and the backing to never fall behind.
It’s not just business. It’s what keeps small towns strong.

The advantages of ownership

Economic Circulation: Every dollar spent fuels local spending, employment, and infrastructure.

Decision Autonomy: Products and decisions made by people who know the land.

Community Investment: Ownership is long-term — what’s good for the community is good for the
business.

“The autonomy to manage our business while benefiting from NRI’s insights and market intel has been invaluable. The transition was seamless, and we’re seeing positive results.”

Jordan McAlister, Madden Rural, WA

Behind it all, is NRI.

And behind it all, is NRI.
The systems, the strength, the support.
The buying power that helps local stores stay competitive.
The structure that lets them stand tall, without ever standing in the way.

STRENGTH THROUGH COMMUNITY

Local stores are more than retailers. They’re part of the fabric, sponsoring clubs, helping
neighbours, showing up when it counts.

  • When you back a local store, you back your whole town.
  • Local jobs, local sport, local support.
  • What you spend here strengthens everything around it.

Everyday choices, bigger consequences

Where you shop isn’t a small thing. It shapes your town. Back Your Backyard is a call to think local, and act on it.

  • Locally owned. Not just locally located.
  • Decisions made by people who live with them.
  • Every dollar stays closer, and goes further.
