Front cover: In addition to the collection of unsold, edible food from our supermarkets and distribution centres, food and groceries to a retail value of $7.9 million were provided to SecondBite and Foodbank this year in response to increasing demand for food relief as a result of COVID-19. SecondBite CEO Jim Mullan said, ‘It’s incredible to see how our partnership with Coles has grown over the years and the impact this has had on the most vulnerable people in our community. Many shoppers wouldn’t be aware of the work that goes on behind the scenes to ensure edible unsold food ends up on the plates of those in need, rather than in landfill.

  • Kaufland Australia Proposed Store Mornington, Melbourne Economic Impact Assessment
    Kaufland Australia Proposed store Mornington, Melbourne Economic Impact Assessment November 2018 Prepared by: Anthony Dimasi, Managing Director – Dimasi & Co [email protected] Prepared for Kaufland Australia Table of contents Executive summary 1 Introduction 5 Section 1: The supermarket sector – Australia and Victoria 6 Section 2: Kaufland Australia – store format and offer 13 Section 3: Economic Impact Assessment 20 3.1 Site location and context 21 3.2 Trade area analysis 23 3.3 Competition analysis 27 3.4 Estimated sales potential 28 3.5 Economic impacts 30 3.6 Net community benefit assessment 43 Executive summary The Supermarkets & Grocery Stores category is by far the most important retail category in Australia. Total sales recorded by Supermarkets & Grocery Stores as measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics have increased from $64.5 billion at 2007 to $103.7 billion at 2017, recording average annual growth of 4.9% per annum – despite the impacts of the global financial crisis (GFC). Over this past decade the category has also increased its share of total Australian retail sales from 31.3% to 33.7%. For Victoria, similar trends are evident. Supermarkets and grocery stores’ sales have increased over the past decade at a similar rate to the national average – 4.5% versus 4.9%. The share of total retail sales directed to supermarkets and grocery stores by Victorians has also increased over this period, from 31.6% at 2007 to 32.8% at 2017. Given the importance of the Supermarkets & Grocery Stores category to both the Victorian retail sector and Victorian consumers, the entry of Kaufland into the supermarket sector brings with it enormous potential for significant consumer benefits, as well as broader economic benefits.

  • Supermarket Refrigeration Going Natural
    cover story >>> SEAN McGOWAN REPORTS Supermarket refrigeration going natural In 2005, Coles Supermarkets opened its first ‘environmental concept’ supermarket featuring a cascade carbon dioxide refrigeration system. Two years on the technology has undergone significant improvement to better serve the local market, while internationally it promises to receive widespread adoption by the world’s retail heavyweights, as Sean McGowan reports. Supermarket refrigeration accounts for a significant 1% of Australia’s total electricity consumption, and this figure is reported to be higher in Europe and the United States. Therefore, its not surprising to find supermarket chains worldwide clamoring to adopt new technology which promises to cut their energy costs, while at the same time, address their corporate responsibilities to the environment and the communities who shop with them. The knight in shining armour looks set to be carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration systems, which are often used in a cascade design with fluorocarbon refrigerants such as R507 or R134a. A cascade system using ammonia is also on the agenda according to one of Australia’s leading supermarket refrigeration specialists, Frigrite Refrigeration. “We have traveled the world investigating system design and have developed solutions that best suit the Australian market. We installed the first CO2 systems in Australia, with another four systems installed in new supermarkets since,” says Andrew Reid, national account manager for Frigrite. “Due to economic constraints, the cascade CO2 systems installed in Australia best suit the energy and environmental expectations, however, further development is underway in finding improvements to the current concepts, which may involve a fundamental system design change and alternate refrigerants to those currently being used.” Reid says supermarket chains have acknowledged the importance of meeting environmental and community expectations as the general awareness of these two aspects increases.
