Foodland to create 2600 SA jobs

More than 2500 jobs will be created over the next five years as supermarket chain Foodland builds 22 new stores across South Australia.

Two stores, in McLaren Vale south of Adelaide and Wallaroo on the Yorke Peninsula, have already opened as part of the $200 million expansion.

Another two Adelaide stores are under construction and the company hopes to have half of its new outlets open by mid 2017.
