Comparing Coles and Woolworths

by daniel

Obviously both Coles and Woolworths have reported very strong results in the circumstances of inclement weather, deflation and a poor economy. Woolworths continue to grow with 25 new stores opening, and Coles have achieved continued comparable store on store growth. They use different metrics (exclusions and inclusions) so direct comparisons are difficult. However, any shopper can attest that the standard of offering by both chains continues to improve for the benefit of consumers. Not only do prices fall, but store layouts and ambience improve apace. Perhaps farmers complain, but at least they're consistent.
