Spud Shed[notes 1] is a Western Australian supermarket chain. Its owner, Tony Galati, who is also a potato farmer, uses promotions such as free potato giveaways to protest against what he considers to be unfair and excessive control by the Potato Marketing Corporation of WA of the quantity, varieties and price of potatoes grown and sold in Western Australia. Most of their stores operate 24 hours a day, and are among the only supermarkets in the state able to do so.[1][2]
