Have you ever wondered where are the nearest Coles Express locations? This came up in a conversation on the weekend where a person was telling me how handy the map showing the nearest petrol station was. They needed a BP service station as they had a card for BP. I thought it was an amazing coincidence that I'd mapped the BP service station locations and the map had come in handy so soon.
I then realised a map of Coles Express locations could come in very handy for family, friends and users of my sites. Everyone I know has a Flybuys card and most shop at Coles, so they receive a petrol discount voucher. Over the years what''s annoyed me with Shell is going into a Shell service station and they don't honour the discount voucher. Not a big deal but when you're expecting something to happen and it doesn't, something just doesn't feel right.
What I hadn't thought about is how things have changed with most Shell service stations now being owned and operated by Coles. The issue of not accepting vouchers only occurred with the independent Shell service stations and now since many of the service stations are Coles Express, by just sticking with Coles Express I think you'd be fairly certain to get the discount. I'd never thought of it that way. In other words when travelling if there's not a Coles Express, then it really may not matter which petrol station you use. If you pick the Shell service station you may or may not get a discount. Just assume you won't and if you get the discount, it's a bonus.
If you're looking for where Coles Express service stations are located the desktop site www.mapz.com.au/colesexpresslocations/ will show you all the Coles Express locations across Australia. If you're travelling or simply want to check the Coles Express locations around you, the mobile map at www.mapz.com.au/colesexpresslocations/mobile/ shows you the nearest five locations and the distance as the crow flies. We tend to go to service stations through habit and often the map uncovers service stations that are more convenient than we would otherwise have expected.
