Spudshed is an independent supermarket chain in Western Australia.[a] The store was founded by Tony Galati, and forms part of the family-owned Galati Group.

As of August 2022, the chain comprises a total of 17 stores across Western Australia. Its main competitors are Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and IGA. Spudshed differentiates itself by operating most stores 24 hours a day,[2][3] and retailing low-cost produce grown on Galati family farms throughout the state.

History

The first Spudshed was opened in Baldivis in November 1998, originally as a farmers market in a shed on Galati's Baldivis property. In 2018, Spudshed reported profit growth of 76%, or $4 million.[4]

Tony Galati

Spudshed co-founder Antonino "Tony" Galati was born on 1 April 1961, and is the eldest son of Sicilian migrants Francesco and Carmela Galati, who started a 2-hectare (4.9-acre) market garden in Spearwood in the 1960s.[5] Tony has two brothers (Vince and Sam), two sisters (Maria and Carolina), three sons and a daughter (Francessco, Sebastian, Anthony and Alana).

Galati became a household name in Western Australia for his protracted legal battles against the Potato Marketing Corporation of Western Australia (PMC). In 2015, the PMC launched legal action against Galati, alleging that he had planted more than his allocated quota of potatoes.[6] Prohibited from selling excess potatoes due to legal quotas, Galati used free potato giveaways at his Spudshed stores to protest against what he considered to be unfair and excessive control by the board.[7] Galati ultimately prevailed when the state government deregulated the industry, with the PMC becoming defunct in December 2016.[8][9]

The battle between Galati and the PMC was celebrated in a Fringe World musical in 2019, returning again in 2020.[10]
