IGA Mint Fresh supermarket to open at Langston Epping apartments

The trolleys are lining up in northwest Sydney where a supermarket will anchor the retail precinct of a $500 million triple-tower development.

IGA supermarket will open at The Langston at Epping, where construction has wrapped up on the three-tower development housing 462 apartments.

Developers Cbus Property announced the small supermarket will occupy the 523 sq m retail site, which opens on to a 2750 sq m public plaza off Langston Place, late this year.

Mint Fresh IGA owners Richard and Antoine Rizk, who also run the supermarket branches at Baulkham Hills, Westleigh and Toongabbie, will manage the store, which will serve Epping’s east side and be the flagship of the three other stores.

Cbus Property’s chief executive officer Adrian Pozzo said the announcement was a major win for the Epping community.

“Since we first started engaging with the people of Epping in 2018, they have been telling us they wanted a quality supermarket offering at The Langston and I am delighted to say that we have been able to deliver on this request,” he said.

“Through our community liaison committee meetings, attending community events and talking to residents on the street, the need for a fresh food and convenience retail operator on the eastern side of Epping was raised again and again.’’

The Rizks “can’t wait to get started”.

“We pride ourselves on knowing and listening to our local communities, and we stock our shelves with products our customers want and the brands they love,” Richard said.

“We really want to showcase this philosophy through our Mint Fresh IGA Local Grocer store at The Langston and will be engaging our local customers to ensure we offer everything they need.”

The Langston development at Epping has three towers with more than 400 flats.

Other shops at The Langston’s 2100 sq m mixed-use retail precinct include cafes, restaurants and Team Bros gym, which will be open to the public, while residents in the development will have a private gym.

The shopping zone opens on to a landscaped public plaza, which provides a pedestrian connection from Epping train station via Langston Place to Epping Library on Chambers Court.

Above the retail precinct and public plaza sit three residential apartment towers of 29, 24 and 19 storeys.

Units in the project’s final tower, Oasis, went on sale in November and the other two towers are occupied.
