Table 7 : Profiles of Supermarket Chains, Banner Groups and Wholesalers

 ?Table 7 provides a list of supermarkets in Australia. The list is
not exhaustive, although it includes the major chains, banner groups
and warehouse/wholesalers. For the majority of smaller banner groups
and supermarkets, turnover is unavailable.
Coles Myer Pty Ltd and Woolworths dominate the supermarket sector.
Until 2001 there were three major supermarket chains operating in
Australia. In 2001 however, Franklins chain was sold off to a number
of other chains, primarily Woolworths, Coles and a number of the
larger independent grocery chains.?
