In April 2014, Coles celebrated its 100th birthday – that’s a whole century dedicated to giving Aussie families the products they need for a happy, healthy home life, at prices they can afford.
Founder GJ Coles created a store that would lower the costs of living for Australian families. This philosophy continues 100 years later.
“The customers themselves really decide what goods we shall stock in our stores.”
Founded in 1914 in Collingwood, Melbourne by G.J. Coles, Coles operates 776 supermarkets throughout Australia, including several now re-branded BI-LO Supermarkets. Coles Online is the company’s online shopping ‘click & collect’ and home delivery service.
