Industry veteran, John David, called Metcash CEO, Andrew Reitzer, in late 2004 to congratulate him for moving on Foodland. David, the founder and ex-chairman of grocery wholesaler, Davids Holdings, had joined forces with his counterpart at Foodland more than 20 years ago to try to build a third giant in Australian retailing. They were unsuccessful though, and Davids was later taken over by South Africa's Metro Cash & Carry. Metcash's acquisition of many of Foodland's Australian assets has brought David's dreams to fruition.
