BI-LO is Australia's own discount supermarket retailer, offering a wide range of fresh foods and groceries at consistently low prices and good, friendly service.

BI-LO operates more than 50 stores nationally and employs around 15,000 people in its stores throughout Australia.

Australia’s first BI-LO store was opened at Stirling in South Australia’s Adelaide Hills by John Weekes in the late 1970s.

Almost a decade after the first store opened, BI-LO was operating 28 supermarkets in South Australia and generating one third of metropolitan Adelaide’s supermarket sales.           

In 1987, BI-LO joined the Coles Group. Shortly after, the New South Wales based discount Shoeys stores were acquired by Coles Group and re-named BI-LO. At this time, BI-LO was operating 62 stores throughout South Australia and New South Wales.

Another significant milestone in BI-LO’s history took place in 1998 with the purchase of three Northern Territory supermarkets in Darwin and Alice Springs.
