Says a Coles spokesperson: “We work closely with government health authorities on the best measures to keep customers and our team members safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their continued advice is that social distancing remains an important measure to reduce the rate of transmission in the community.
‘We are grateful to state governments that have provided exemptions for trading on public holidays, which will assist in maintaining social distancing as customers have more options on when they do their shopping this weekend.”
Coles has also launched a fundraising campaign in the lead up to ANZAC Day to enable Bravery Trust to support Aussie service men and women who have an injury or illness as a result of their service.
Until stores close on Sunday 26 April, Coles will donate 50 cents from every pack of Coles Bakery branded cookies or biscuits sold at Coles to the Bravery Trust. Customers are also welcome to make their own donations in-store at the checkout.

An ALDI spokesperson tells New Idea Food that customers should check their local store’s trading hours on their website, as they vary from state to state.
‘This ANZAC Day, Saturday 25 April, selected ALDI stores will be closed or trading with amended opening hours. For stores that will be closed this ANZAC Day, Special Buys will be available on Sunday 26 April,' says the spokesperson.
‘We always encourage customers to visit the ALDI website closer to the day for information about their local store’s trading hours.’
