About Coles

Discover the history of Coles, which began in 1914 with the opening of our first store in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood.

As one of Australia's leading retailers, Coles is committed to making life easier for customers. We deliver great value on your weekly grocery shop, as well as offering convenience shopping and fuel, great value credit cards and simple insurance options, affordable prepaid phone plans and an extensive network of wine and liquor stores.

Our customers are our focus, and we want to help Aussies live healthier and happier lives. We work hard to deliver products that provide the best quality and best value solutions, with a variety of brands to help you shop for any occasion.

At Coles we take our responsibility for managing our environmental and social impacts seriously. Our ambition is to be Australia’s most sustainable supermarket and we're always looking for opportunities to make a positive difference through sustainable products, sustainable environmental practices and sustainable communities.

As an Australian company, we want to support other Australian businesses to deliver great quality local products for our customers. That's why we have an Australian First Sourcing Policy, which means that we source Aussie grown fruit and veg wherever and whenever we can.

Coles is passionate about supporting the communities we serve through partnerships, sponsorships and fundraising. From Geraldton in the west to Ocean Shores in the east, we're proud to help Australians lead healthier, happier lives by supporting national and local charities, sporting organisations, schools and hospitals.

Coles is making shopping easier for our customers. We're modifying our stores so they're more accessible and inclusive, improving digital accessibility on our website, and offering a number of programs and services that make it easier for everyone to shop with Coles both in store and online.
