Coles Group Limited Company Profile

Hungry and thirsty Australians can count on Coles. Coles Group is one of the country's largest food retailers with more than 740 supermarkets run under the Coles and Bi-Lo banners, 785 liquor (Liquorland, Vintage Cellars, 1st Choice), and 620 combination gas stations and convenience stores (Coles Express). It also offers online grocery shopping and owns a portfolio of 90-plus hotels across Australia. The company sold its Myer department stores in 2006 and changed its moniker from Coles Myer to better reflect the chain's sale. Coles has operated as a subsidiary of business conglomerate Wesfarmers since the group's more than $18 billion takeover in late 2007. Coles is halfway through a five-year turnaround plan.
