Foodland elevates 36ers partnership

The Foodland brand will take pride of place on the back of the Adelaide 36ers jersey in NBL26 after the iconic South Australian grocery chain strengthened its partnership with the club.

Independently owned and proudly South Australian, Foodland stores are committed to supporting local growers and suppliers.

After returning to partner the 36ers last season as the club’s Official Supermarket Partner, Foodland has elevated the partnership as the new campaign approaches.

Foodland will also continue as a Club Community Partner, supporting the club’s off-court youth programs and sharing heathy eating messages.

Adelaide 36ers CEO Nic Barbato said the club was pleased to have Foodland continue as a valued partner.

“Having Foodland elevate its partnership after just one season is a huge vote of confidence in the future direction of our club,” said Barbato.

“Foodland is passionate about helping South Australian businesses and promoting local brands, and we are thrilled that we can continue to work together to do that.

“We look forward to Foodland’s ongoing support of our team as well as our community programs, where we seek to influence positive community outcomes.”

With more than 90 stores across South Australia and in Broken Hill, Foodland retailers have been supporting local sporting and community clubs, charities and schools for over 60 years.

As part of the partnership, 36ers members and supporters will get to sample some of South Australia’s finest produce at home games at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

Foodland CEO Franklin Dos Santos said the decision to further the partnership with the 36ers is once again a testament to the local approach and impact both parties can have on the local community.

“Foodland is excited to strengthen our partnership with the Adelaide 36ers this season,” he said.

“We are looking forward to bringing the partnership to life, not only on gameday but using basketball to assist us in delivering positive messages to the community around healthy eating and life choices.”
