Sir George James Coles: The Visionary Behind Australia’s Supermarket Giant
25 Jul 2025
The value of the global trade of goods in the world today is approximately 30 trillion US dollars. That’s 83 billion dollars per day of goods transported worldwide across land, air and sea. However, trade is nothing new; in ancient times, trade began as a barter system in which people exchanged one object for another. Eventually it moved to markets, then shops and now we have supermarkets with around 40,000 items in the store. How did this happen? Join Gary Kent as he explores the story of Sir George James Coles—a businessman and a philanthropist who chose to make a difference and started one of the biggest supermarket chains in Australia.
