Statement attributable to a Coles spokesperson:
“Our team has been working hard this morning to get our FNQ stores open. All of our stores are set to open at 10am this morning.
We already had extra supply of essentials for the community, including water, fresh produce and cleaning items.
Additional deliveries are on their way into the area by road today, so we want to reassure our customers that we have plenty of stock available – with more deliveries on their way.”
