Coles Cannonvale Unveils New Look

The team at Coles in Cannonvale launched their fresh new look at a special ribbon cutting event on Wednesday morning with their bright red branded truck setting a vibrant backdrop to the festivities.

For the past two months, the store has been receiving a complete refurbishment, as well as the addition of several new concepts which are set to increase the customer experience.

The new bakery will see flatbread made fresh and ‘flipped’ in-store and a brand-new baked artisan sourdough adding to the extensive range.

Those with a sweet tooth can enjoy the delicious dessert treats from the patisserie range and the mouth-watering frozen dessert bar, including mochi, mini gelatos and macarons which have already become extremely popular.

There is also a big cheese section for entertainers and new deli meat case.

Coles Cannonvale Store Manager Andrew McIntosh has worked at Coles for almost 12 years and said he was excited to provide an enhanced shopping experience and 30 additional local jobs to the community.

“The store has transformed immensely from what it used to look like,” he said.

“Coles is proud to be continuing to invest in the Cannonvale community and we have started recruiting to further grow our already strong team of around 100 team members, some who have been with us since we opened our doors in 2006.”

Local shoppers will have also noticed that new shelves and fridges have been added, and while many items have been moved to different locations, Andrew assures us that they have been laid out to align with our shopping habits.

Coles is also launching home delivery for time-poor customers and the convenient and complementary shopping service Click&Collect will expand.

Additional car parks will be added as well as new shades covering the collection area, just in time for summer.

The new store also champions sustainability, partnering with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation and SecondBite to donate unsold edible food to disadvantaged Australians.
