A new local favourite: Patties Food Group opens new shopfront in Pakenham

Patties Food Group has always prioritised people and its community first, from local school fundraisers to sporting club sponsorships to great value, nutritious meals for Australian families.

This month, Patties will unveil its newly renovated store for the Pakenham community, marking the organisation’s latest step in continuing its legacy of supporting Pakenham. The renovated store will give locals easier access to their favourite frozen products at an unbeatable value.

More than six decades after Peter and Annie Rijs opened the first Patties shop in Lakes Entrance, today the Pakenham food manufacturer continues the tradition by creating the food people love while feeding and supporting the local community.

Today, Patties Food Group aims to be more than just a food company; they are a major employer in Pakenham and proud supporters of local initiatives. The company has invested in the community’s wellbeing for many years, fundraising, partnering with charities and donating food.

Notable recent contributions from Patties include donating the equivalent of over 140,000 meals to Foodbank Australia in the past year, raising nearly $330,000 through an Executive Team Endurance Challenge and company contributions for My Room Children’s Cancer Charity, and supporting the Hope Restart Centre through internal initiatives.

The newly renovated shop, located at 28–46 Bald Hill Road, has been designed with the local community in mind. Customers can expect a larger floor plan, an expanded product range, and dedicated parking with direct access from Bald Hill Road, making the shop even more accessible to the community.

Patties Food Group looks forward to welcoming the community to the newly renovated shop and thanks the Pakenham community for its continued support over the years.
