New-Look Coles Windsor Elevates Shopping Experience For Hawkesbury Shoppers

Led by a community-minded team with years of experience, Coles Windsor welcomes shoppers to a rejuvenated store offering an array of impressive new features.

Local residents will have more reason to enjoy the weekly shop with the renewal of the Coles store in Windsor; a store that rallied to support the local community during the floods by delivering supplies to those in need.

The upgraded store includes an array of innovative features including a new-look bakery, extensive deli range and larger fresh produce section.

Catering to busy shoppers, Coles Windsor features a large range of convenience meals for customers to grab-and-go, including delicious curries and lasagnes, plus a variety of ready-made sandwiches, salads and hot food for quick and easy lunches.

The impressive open-front bakery, complete with flatbread flipped daily, sourdough and celebration cakes, will also include a patisserie fridge offering an array of delicious sweet treats.

The store also includes a doughnut machine and a frozen dessert bar with mochi, mini gelato and macarons.

Four-legged friends will also enjoy the weekly trip to the shops, with the store’s new pet treat bar.

Customers can still click and collect for those who simply don’t have time to make their way down the shopping aisles themselves.

The Hawkesbury community has been heavily buffeted by floods, at times leaving residents feeling isolated with limited access to supplies or emergency assistance over the past two years.

In partnership with Hawkesbury Helping Hands, Coles Windsor was able to provide much-needed relief to the community, delivering food and supplies to affected families.

Team members pulled together in the support effort and could be seen lining up at the banks of the Hawkesbury River in 2021 passing bags of groceries to Helping Hands ready for dispatch.

Coles Windsor Store Manager, Mandy Manley, who has worked for Coles for 27 years, was excited to open the doors to the community after such a challenging time.

“Our Hawkesbury community has been through so much in the last 12 months and it’s amazing to see where we are now, a year on from terrible flooding,” Ms Manley said.

“The commitment and perseverance of our experienced team is reflective of the passion we have for servicing our community.

“We are all delighted to offer customers the best possible shopping experience, promising great variety and value with every visit.”

Coles Windsor continues its work with Helping Hands, donating a $1000 gift card to commemorate the store’s renewal, as part of its partnership with SecondBite, an organisation helping distribute unsold edible food to disadvantaged Australians.

Helping Hands CEO, Linda Strickland was delighted to accept the donation from Coles and continue to work with the store to support the local community.

“Coles Windsor has been amazing in assisting us at Hawkesbury Helping Hands, not only with the flood relief last year, but through droughts, bushfires and other disasters that have struck our community,” Ms Strickland said.

“We are so appreciative of the team’s continuous hard work and dedication; we would not be able to do the work we do without the support of organisations like Coles.”

The new-look store officially opened on Wednesday, April 5. Located at Windsor Riverview shopping centre, 223 George Street, Windsor, the store will be open from 7 am to 10 pm daily with underground parking available.
