[edit] Coles a competitor?

Why is Coles listed as one of Bi-Lo's competitors when they are basically the same store with the same ownership under a different set of signage? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.167.46 (talk) 14:55, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clear bias

There is a clear bias of Bi-Lo in this article. Could someone look through it and make it more balanced —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.49.197.236 (talk • contribs) 06:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Not encyclopedic

There is a lot of content that shouldn't be in an encyclopedia. It is hardly noteworthy to state that a supermarket has Grocery, Fresh Produce, Deli, Meat, Bakery, Seafood and International Food lines. Murtoa 03:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newmart Outlets

A link was given showing the locations of these former Newmart outlets that were now Coles outlets, which was in my last edit. What more do I need, pictorial proof? =P - http://www.coles.com.au/frame/build.asp?url=/about/locations/ - I live in Western Australia, and know for fact from my own travels and from the citation of others that all these outlets were changed to Coles outlets over 2yrs ago. I don't want this to turn into an edit war over such a petty subject. Please respond if of course a larger citation (maybe calling the supermarkets themselves and getting it in writing?) is required.

Not sure if this was more widespread but the Stirling Central Newmart in Balga actually became a Woolworths store. Orderinchaos78 16:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] conversion

a little bird told me that they have stopped the conversions - anyone heard anything to the same effect? (PAuLw1985 17:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Biased article

The philosophy of Bi-Lo store was clearly written by a member of Coles Myer. This article is biased, and a more neutral view needs to be used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.108.46 (talk) 13:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Resistance"

I've removed this section. It sounded somewhat dubious, was tagged as needing references dated April, and I couldn't find anything to prove it on Google.  SEO^{75 [talk]} 09:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
