Show Notes
For Patrick LaManna, food retail has always been about more than what’s on the shelves.
As a third-generation grocer and CEO of LaManna Supermarket, Patrick shares how his family’s legacy of fresh produce, hospitality, and community has shaped the business he leads today. From his grandfather’s first fruit shop in West Preston to LaManna’s 10,000 m² Essendon Fields destination and the cult favourite Pistachio Papi, he focus has remained firmly on quality, freshness, and genuine connection.
Patrick reflects on leading a family business through growth and change, empowering his team, taking calculated risks, and creating a supermarket experience that feels more like a destination than a transaction.
