run your store, your way.
NRI is a shareholder-owned buying group built for independent rural retailers who want to stay in control of their business while gaining the strength of a national network. We help store owners improve profitability through shared buying power, transparent commercial terms, and low-cost systems, without corporate control or loss of autonomy.
With NRI, you run your store your way, backed by people who understand rural retail and are invested in your long-term success.
Your success is our success.
NRI is a buying group built for one thing: shareholder growth and wealth generation.
To deliver value through a low-cost, highly efficient rural distribution model, fostering strong relationships and collaboration among independent store owners and suppliers.
The Model That’s Different
NRI is a buying group built for one thing: shareholder growth and wealth generation. Your success is our success. Back in 2001, a group of ten independent rural retail business owners decided they needed to control their own destiny as corporates threatened to dominate the marketplace. They founded NRI to create something different, a truly independent group built on autonomy, efficiency, simplicity and shared success.
Today, that vision has grown into a network of 165 stores nationwide, serving Broadacre, Horticulture, Viticulture and Livestock markets. We have stayed true to our core values from day one, which has underpinned our continual growth and business success.
When you’re part of NRI, you stay fiercely independent. You run your store your way. You make the calls that matter for your community. You’ve got the buying power of a national network, access to the latest products and technologies from our broad supplier network, back end systems and support that keep you competitive, and a broader network of like-minded people who understand the challenges and opportunities in regional Australia.
