STATE Member for Melbourne Bronwyn Pike opened Coles new $40 million shopping centre on Saturday, built within the grounds of what was once the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds, in Melbourne’s inner north-west suburb of Ascot Vale.
 
The Showgrounds Village Shopping Centre includes a 3,650 square metre Coles “concept” supermarket, which uses approximately 15 per cent less energy than the average Coles store and produces a third less waste.
