Wangaratta Home
Tucked into the heart of Wangaratta, Fletchers Supplies is known as a go to for the hospitality industry, but step inside the store and you will quickly discover it’s also a treasure trove for locals, families, and home cooks alike.
What do you enjoy about owning a business in Wangaratta?
Wangaratta offers something special, a strong sense of community, support between local businesses, and a lifestyle that strikes the perfect balance. For us, it’s not just about location; it’s about the people. There’s a real loyalty here. We’ve grown up alongside many of our customers, and we value every handshake, every chat, and every return visit.
What makes your business unique?
While we’re a major supplier for hospitality and commercial operators, what sets us apart is our broad offering. Yes, we supply bulk quantities for restaurants, hotels, and cleaning contractors, but we also stock beautiful cookware, quality cleaning products, everyday packaging, and clever kitchen tools that are perfect for homes too. Locals are often surprised by how much we have in store! We’re open to the public, and we love seeing individuals pop in for a single frying pan, a handful of takeaway containers, their favourite dishwashing liquid, a beautiful gift or even a bulk buy of Milo to fuel those after-school snack sessions.
What is your greatest achievement since owning the business?
Established by Clark Fletcher in 1991, the business has proudly remained family run, with the next generation (his son and daughter) taking over the reins in recent years. From a small operation to a large-scale distributor servicing regional Victoria and beyond, we’ve remained family run and community focused. We’ve created longstanding relationships, supported local causes, and provided jobs for local people. That’s something we are genuinely proud of.
Where do you hope to see your business in the future?
We want to continue expanding while staying grounded in our values. We hope to welcome more locals through our doors, especially those who don’t yet realise how much we have for the everyday household. We’ll keep growing our product range, investing in great customer service, and finding ways to serve both commercial clients and everyday families even better.
Why should people support local businesses?
Supporting local businesses isn’t just about shopping nearby, it’s about strengthening your community. When you buy local, your money stays in town. It helps create jobs, supports local clubs and events, and builds a stronger, more connected region. We’re all in this together.
When you decide to pass the business on, what will be the greatest legacy you leave behind?
We hope the legacy we leave is one of trust, consistency, and community support.
