Coles Group Limited is one of Australia's two dominant supermarket chains, operating Coles supermarkets, Coles Express convenience stores, and Liquorland, First Choice Liquor, and Vintage Cellars bottle shops. Originally founded in Melbourne, Coles was owned by Wesfarmers from 2007 until it was demerged and relisted on the ASX in 2018 as an independent company. Along with Woolworths, Coles has faced ongoing scrutiny over its market dominance in Australian grocery retail and pricing practices.
