Sorry if you’re a Coles fan. It’s about the only major grocery store we don’t have on the island. Instead, we have two Woolworths, two IGAs and ALDI. Here’s where you can find them:
WOOLWORTHS
Bribie Island Shopping Centre: This is the largest grocery store on the Island, there is also a butcher adjacent to the store – on the left as you enter)
Banksia Beach: This is my favourite store. Easy to get a park. No long check-out lines. There’s also a bunch of other stores I like to visit. The butchers, bakery, café and bottle shop (of course)!
IGA
ALDI
Bongaree 132 Goodwin Drive, Bongaree
