Timeline

1880

Costa was the eldest of five sons born to Sicilian immigrants who moved to Australia in the 1880s.

1888

His great-uncle established the Geelong Covent Garden in 1888 – a produce grocery which he ran until the 1920s, at which time he turned it over to Costa's father.

When Costa was 21, he (along with his brother Adrian) convinced his father to sell the business to them.

Costa successfully grew the business with help from his brother, as they made forays into wholesaling.

1938

Frank Aloysius Costa (3 February 1938 – 2 May 2021 ) was an Australian businessman.

1950

Costa had been a prominent figure in the Geelong region for more than four decades after inheriting Costa Group, the family's produce business, in the late 1950s.

Initially privately-held, the Costa Group became the largest service wholesaler of fruit and vegetables in Australia with operations in five states.

1960

Costa married Shirley in 1960 and they had eight daughters.

He died from cancer on 2 May 2021, aged 83.

1972

By the 1980s, the company had an annual turnover of around A$100 million.

1990

In the early 1990s, Costa's wholseale fruit operation was compelled to co-operate with the Melbourne underworld.

2004

In 2004, Costa appointed Simon Costa, his nephew, as CEO of the Costa Group of Companies, enabling Costa to concentrate on philanthropic activities and the Presidency of the Geelong Football Club.

At the time, the company had 800 employees, and a turnover in excess of A$800 million.

According to a 2004 poll, Costa held first place on the list of the region's "Movers and Shakers". The same year saw Costa (out of frustration) publicly urge the authorities to keep its promise of developing a recycling and irrigation facility in the Werribee region.

Costa was Patron of the Geelong Volunteer Resource Centre and the Geelong Volunteering Network, and academy ambassador for Surf Coast FC.
