Drakes Supermarkets is a privately owned Australian independent retail chain based in South Australia.

[10] In 2013 Drakes announced the development of a new meat processing centre at Beverley in Adelaide, South Australia.

The centre, expected to cost $10 million, enabled quality control of Drakes meat products and greater efficiencies.

The company had been its Queensland fruit and vegetable supplier for ten years, a relationship that doubled Wilson's sales.

In May 2018 Drakes Supermarkets announced the building of a new $80 million distribution centre in Adelaide's northern suburbs at Edinburgh North, ending its contract with grocery supplier Metcash in June 2019.

In 2015, Drakes opened a Market store format, with one in South Australia, one at Alice Plaza in the Northern Territory, and one in Queensland.

[20] These stores still stock a wide variety of consumer goods with a focus on organic, vegetarian and vegan food.

Drakes Supermarkets operates its own meat centres, at Parkinson in Queensland and Beverley in South Australia.

[2] Between 2014 and 2020, Drakes Supermarkets underpaid their managerial staff by $1.5 million, which they settled to repay along with $590,000 in penalties and interest.

Volunteer organisations that join the programme receive tags to pass on to members who shop at Drakes supermarkets.

1c in every $1 spent at a Drakes store in South Australia[26] and 2c in Queensland is donated to the nominated charity when the tags are presented at checkout.

All profits raised are divided between five charities - Bedford Group (Phoenix Society), Royal District Nursing Service, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Research Foundation, Flinders Medical Centre Breast Cancer Research and St John Ambulance.
