Smoke billowed from the vehicle and made its way into three levels of the supermarket giant's head office in Glen Iris on Monday morning.
Two fire crews attended the scene and two security guards were treated for mild smoke inhalation.
The fire broke out at 8am in the engine bay of a car and is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault.
Some workers were asked to collect their belongings and will be relocated to another section of the building until the smoke has dissipated. Others have been allowed to return to their usual desks.
"The fire was dealt with quickly but then we had to get rid of the smoke, which entered into the main building," MFB spokesman Trevor Woodward said.
