The new Secret Harbour store is part of an investment by Coles of more than $120 million in Western Australia over 18 months, creating more than 1200 construction jobs and around 850 retail jobs.
Combining a contemporary format, shoppers at Coles Secret Harbour will be able to enjoy an extensive fresh produce section, open-style butchery and an in-store bakery complete with a large range of artisan breads, cakes and pastries. The store will also feature a continental delicatessen with a variety of local and international cheeses as well as a ‘Scoop and Weigh’ cabinet filled with a huge selection of nuts and dried fruit mixes.
Store Manager Peter Stonehouse said the development will create new jobs and provide the local community with an enhanced shopping experience.
“We are thrilled to welcome over 80 team members to the store, providing a major boost to employment in the burgeoning Rockingham and surrounding suburbs economy,” Peter said.
“The feedback we’ve received from Secret Harbour residents has been extremely positive and we can’t wait to provide locals with a brand new supermarket with the latest in-store features.”
The extensive range of food will also include locally-sourced products from Western Australian suppliers including Harvey Beef, British Sausage Company, Simmo’s Ice Cream, Harvey Citrus, Berry Sweet and many more.
Local residents are invited to celebrate the opening from 4:30pm on Friday, 23 June, with a free Coles Community Carnival to be held in the carpark closest to Coles. Fun activities and entertainment will be available, including free face painting, carnival rides and showbags along with a special appearance from WA’s popular chef duo, Anna and Jordan Bruno, who will be demonstrating some of their favourite recipes. Plus local residents have the opportunity to meet former Fremantle Dockers player Shaun McManus.
Coles Secret Harbour is located inside Secret Harbour Shopping Centre - 420 Secret Harbour Boulevard (Corner Warnbro Sound Avenue) and will be open seven days a week.
