There’s a new local in town!

South Australia’s first Coles Local store has officially opened at The Avenues Shopping Centre, St Peters. The new store is a showcase of our state’s diverse food culture, proudly featuring a curated selection of more than 700 South Australian products from over 60 food and beverage producers – with 440 local products new to Coles.

Designed to meet customer demand for more locally sourced products, we are proud to see our Buy SA. For SA. messaging loud and proud across the store.

Customers can look forward to iconic brands like Beerenberg, Bickfords and Maggie Beer, each offering  expanded ranges, alongside ten exciting local suppliers new to Coles including Bowlsome, Harris Smokehouse, Skala Bakery, Beyond India and more.

“We know how important local and family-owned suppliers are to South Australian customers," said Coles Chief Executive Officer, Leah Weckert, who was raised in Adelaide. "The Coles Local format allows us to showcase some of the very best products, introduce them to new customers,
and still deliver the same great value you’d find in any Coles supermarket".

“We’re proud to partner with small businesses to bring exclusive local products to our shelves, connect South Australians with the incredible food culture in their own backyard, and help these suppliers reach new customers through our network of stores.”

The store also features a vibrant mural created by local Adelaide artist Lucinda Penn, whose inspiration was drawn from local scenes and conversations with the community. Wrapping around the store’s walls, the artwork infuses the space with colour, encapsulating the lively spirit of Stepney.

This is the 31st Coles Local nationally, marking a major milestone in Coles’ ongoing investment in South Australia.

Congratulations to the Coles Local team for bringing us a new kind of supermarket experience where local flavour is where it belongs – front and centre!
