Drury's (fully named Drury's Grocery Corporation) is a major grocery chain based in Armidale. Along with FreeAsh, it is one of the two major grocery chains on New England. Established in 2017, Drury's has grown from inauspicious beginnings to become the largest retailer (in terms domestic sales) in New England.
Like all of New Englands grocers, Drury's concentrates on the retailing of dry groceries, baked and deli goods, and snack and frozen foods. The company currently operates eighty-six stores across the country. The company maintains a "High Street first" policy and will usually open stores on a suburban high street in preference to rare shopping centre (also called a shopping mall in some countries).

Store Format
Drury's stores are quite small, and will have a few rows of goods at best. Since the average New Englander loathes to travel for basic services, stores tend to stock a huge range of goods in a compact format. A typical store will have four aisles, with basic groceries on the first two alises, refrigerated and frozen goods on the third and a forth ailse of deli and bakery goods.
All products restrcited by Guild membership are available from a counter at the front which is staffed by a senior clerk.
