Extensive National Supermarket Network
Coles operates over 800 supermarkets nationwide, covering >95% of Australia’s population catchments to maximize physical accessibility for urban and regional customers.
These stores are primary customer touchpoints with layouts focused on convenience and efficient traffic flow, driving an average basket size increase of ~4% in refurbished sites.
By late 2025, roughly 60% of stores had been refurbished, adding automated checkouts and expanded fresh food halls, supporting Coles Group’s FY25 store capital spend of ~A$300–350m.
Omnichannel E-commerce and Delivery
Coles Group has ramped digital investment to about A$1.2bn since 2020, powering an omnichannel platform that supports online shopping, home delivery and professional logistics across Australia.
Customers get delivery windows including same-day and a 60-minute rapid option in select metros; e-commerce sales hit A$7.1bn in FY2024, up 18% year-on-year.
Automated distribution centres and robotics cut picking errors and improved fulfillment speed, supporting a national on-time delivery rate above 93% in 2024.
Click & Collect Infrastructure
Coles has rolled Click & Collect out to nearly 100% of its ~800 supermarkets and over 300 Coles Express sites, letting customers order online and pick up without entering stores.
