About us

Delaneys Store was founded in 1938 by Pat Delaney. The first store was situated at the RAAF gates in Winnellie/Narrows area which was outer Darwin in those days. After serving in WW2 as a Navigator in the RAAF with the 31SQN, Pat returned to Darwin to find his store had been bombed. Determined to continue, Pat built a Sydney Williams hut on the same site selling everything from fuel to food.
