Our story

Our Health
Our Planet

Good quality food shared with the community.

Wholefoods displayed along the shelves of a Scoop store

From Malta to Mosman

A simple idea.
A family passion.

Inspired by Malta’s markets, Jeremy and Bettina Kirk opened their first Scoop store in 2013.

The markets and zero-waste grocery stores of their hometown shaped a way of shopping centred on quality wholefoods. Their purpose was clear: improve people’s health and well-being, and safeguard our planet for future generations.

Today, Bettina, Jeremy, their three daughters and partner families bring that same passion and attention to detail to every store, from Australia to Singapore, the United Kingdom, Dubai and the Philippines. Each new location welcomes another community into the Scoop family.
