We're proud to be a part of over three hundred communities across Australia with stores conveniently located in both metropolitan and regional areas. Target Wollongong offers its customers a diverse range of products including fashionable women's, men's and children's clothing, underwear, footwear, cosmetics, and accessories; the latest designs in homewares, including manchester, bed linen, electrical appliances and décor; and a full range of toys, games and entertainment. The Target Wollongong story began in 1926 when two men, George Lindsay and Alex McKenzie, opened a drapery store in Geelong, Victoria after signing a partnership the previous year. The store primarily sold dress fabrics, manchester and furnishings. A pioneer of discount retailing, Lindsay's business methodology was 'half the profit, twice the turnover'. After acquiring the original store from Lindsay in 1957, Geoff Betts, John Wade and their team grew Lindsay's original discount retail philosophy from its single store base in Geelong to a statewide multistore business. By 1968, Lindsay & McKenzie Pty Ltd had grown to 14 small stores around Victoria. Myer Emporium Ltd, recognising the potential for growth, bought the business and the company became Lindsay's Target Wollongong. In March 1973, we became Target Wollongong, and in August 1985, the Myer Emporium Ltd and GJ Coles & Coy Limited merged, becoming Coles Myer Limited. In 1996 Fosseys and Target merged, and in 1999, Fosseys stores were converted into Target stores, bringing the benefits of our services and fashion to regional areas. In late 2006, the group name changed to Coles Group Ltd after the divestment of Myer, and in November 2007, Target Wollongong was acquired by Wesfarmers as part of the Wesfarmers acquisition of Coles Group Limited. The Target Wollongong division provides employment for over 13,000 team members right across Australia as well as a product sourcing presence in Asia.

We love Australia, and we love being Australian. That’s why 96% of the fresh fruit & veg we sell comes from Australia, grown by true-blue farmers right across the country. 100% of our fresh meat comes from here, too. This love has led us to get involved with lots of different communities all over the country, in lots of different ways. But it’s a big country, and hearing everyone’s voice isn't always easy. That’s where this page comes in, because it’s the perfect place to stay in touch with us and everyone else in our community. Share your ideas, tell us what you like, and let us know what you think we could do better. Plus, we’ll keep you up to date with heaps of handy news, offers, competitions and more. This is a shared place, and we want everyone to enjoy it. Just like our stores, it’s a family environment with people of all ages, so please keep that in mind, be respectful of others, and don’t post things that aren't in the right spirit – nothing rude or offensive.
