Coles - Australian Roll Out

Landini Associates' "Next Generation Renewal" retail format for Coles Australia was first launched in 2012 with a flagship store in Southlands, Victoria. Our design has since rolled out across the nation.

The ambition was to develop a concept that distinctly reflects the demands of today’s savvy customer and creates a blue sky between them and their competitors.

A focus for this “Next Generation Renewal” was to substantially improve the customer experience and break away from the traditional supermarket, delivering something truly unique to the Australian marketplace. This complete refurbishment included the creation of a full scratch bakery, cheese wall, a sushi bar, and an in store Patisserie and café with Barista made coffee.

Coles’ owners, Wesfarmers, have described the resulting project as “The Nation’s Best Supermarket”. Customers love it and it’s trading 40% above its pre-refurbishment turnover.
