Welcome Blake Family Grocers to Ballarat.

For the past 22 years, Maxi Foods in Ballarat has been your most reliable and well-priced independent supermarket, offering the best range of fresh produce, butcher prepared meats, freshly baked bread and pastries and your everyday grocery needs.  

In 2020, we launched our sister store in Daylesford, a concept fresh food store featuring a gourmet delicatessen and product range catering for the local community and local Daylesford tourism.  The success of the store has prompted me to convert the Ballart store to provide an even better offering to Ballarat and the regions.  The changes that we will undertake over the next twelve months will transform the store into Ballarat’s finest supermarket… a store that will offer the freshest products, the biggest range of locally produced meats, charcuteries and produce, the best freshly baked bread products, an ice-cream and yoghurt bar offering all your favourite flavours, soft serve, milkshakes, cakes and a café so you may sit and drink coffee, or dance as some customers do as they enter our Daylesford store!

We will transform our store for you.  We will maintain our low prices and we will serve you with our complete attention, assist you with your requests and ideas to make Blake Family Grocers Ballarat the place to be when shopping for your family.

With a little encouragement, I might present free evening Ballarat cooking classes.  Not to learn to cook so much, but just to have some have fun!

From my family to yours

Brendan Blake
