‘Obsessed': Top burger chain launches into Coles
Partnering with Coles, the well-known burger chain has introduced its popular patties into 850 Coles stores nationwide from today, August 6.
The first option available is the Signature Beef Burgers 2-pack, made from premium Aussie beef and priced at $8, which breaks down to $4 per serve.
For those wanting something a bit more special, there are the Premium Wagyu Burgers with Caramelised Onion 2-pack, featuring juicy wagyu with a sweet twist, available for $10 or $5 per serve.
The Signature Beef Burgers 4-pack offers a cost-effective choice, perfect for families, priced at $12.50 or $3.15 per serve, though this pack is only available in select stores.
The burgers will be located in the meat section, and for the first four weeks, they'll be $1 off the regular price.
Grill'd Founder and Managing Director, Simon Crowe, said he's 'always had interest' in expanding into supermarkets and there has been demand for a while.
'The timing and opportunity had to be right for both Grill'd and Coles. Not all our customers live close to a Grill'd restaurant and they ask me often, 'Can you launch a restaurant in my suburb?'' he tells news.com.au.
'Partnering with Coles has allowed us to take the next big step in our mission to make our healthy, delicious burgers more accessible to all Australians.'
Coles' research shows that over half of Aussies say they're interested in recreating their own version of restaurant or takeaway food at home.
Mr Crowe explains that the decision to launch into Coles was driven more by this increase in interest for 'fakeaway' rather than cost-of-living pressures.
'We actually see our restaurant sales increase in tougher times, so it's not a cost-of-living issue,' he says.
'However, we know Australians are after both options; ways to enjoy their favourite restaurant flavours at home – whether for convenience or familiarity – and also dining out to experience that unique restaurant vibe, which we absolutely prioritise.'
Foodies online have already started buzzing about the launch.
After Coles' TikTok teased the release on Tuesday, comments flooded in from people eager to try the burgers.
'OBSESSED with this collab, thank you!' said one.
'Yum,' said another, while one user called the move 'iconic'.

Queensland government looks to increase Spanish mackerel catch limits
Commercial fishers will be allowed to increase their Spanish mackerel catch by more than 50 per cent by the end of the year under proposed new Queensland catch limits. The proposal could reduce prices for consumers, but marine conservationists believe the move is too soon to safeguard fish stocks. The Queensland Department of Primary Industries announced new figures this week showing the Spanish mackerel population had likely doubled since a dire review in 2021. It is now planning to raise catch limits for recreational boats from two fish per boat to a maximum of four. For commercial fishers it would increase annual allowable catches by 51.5 per cent, from 165 tonnes to 250 tonnes. Queensland Seafood Industry Association president Allan Bobbermen said consumers would see lower prices if the changes went through. He said under current rules the fish was not "readily available" to buy. "The consumer will have a bit more guarantee of continuity of supply," Mr Bobbermen said. He said the changes were good news for the commercial sector where the Spanish mackerel industry was almost "dead in the water". "It's an iconic fish, it's got a very good shelf life, you can cook it in many ways and it's very popular in the fish and chip trade." The 2021 state government review found Spanish mackerel were being overfished and assessed fish stock at 17 per cent of original levels. The following year the former Labor state government announced it would slash commercial catch quotas by more than 71 per cent. The changes caused the value of fishing licences to plummet and forced many commercial fishers out of the industry. The Crisafulli government has described the 2021 review as a flawed stock assessment and said a 2025 assessment found Spanish mackerel were fast growing and highly reproductive. Simon Miller from the Australian Marine Conservation Society disputed assessments that Spanish mackerel populations had doubled. He said since the 2021 review, feedback had been taken on board from stock assessment scientists and the state government had revised the way it conducted assessments. "The new stock assessment puts the stock at 34 per cent," he said. The state government intends to consult the public before the proposed changes come into effect, potentially by the end of the year. Mr Miller said while the new stock level was good news it still showed a long-term decline in the last decade that had only seen a "slight uptick" in the last couple of years. He said the state government should wait until it saw stronger evidence of stock recovery for changes to be made to catch limits. "We still need to be very precautionary in how we're managing Spanish mackerel," he said. Mr Bobbermen hoped the move would bring commercial operators back to the water. "It means they won't have to surrender so many units of quota to get one kilo of fish, which is going to give them more value," he said. "Some of the guys that stepped away from the industry will return."

Melbourne sellers: What's hot and what's not
Melbourne sellers heading to auction this spring have been warned outdated or poorly-presented fittings and styling could be costing them thousands. According to PropTrack 712 Melbourne homes are set to go under the hammer this week ahead of the Reserve Banks decision on interest rates, due after their Tuesday meeting. With spring auction volumes building and buyer expectations rising, even small styling missteps are enough to knock tens of thousands off a campaign, according to Melbourne property experts. RELATED: Melb block could earn you $300k a year Shock city's homes to earn $178 a day in 2026 Young Melb family's clever move pays off Whitefox Bayside director and style expert Lana Samuels said buyers were becoming more design literate, and less forgiving. 'The drama is out the door,' Ms Samuels said. 'Dark feature walls, moody wallpaper, over-the-top kitchens, buyers just don't want it. 'They want light, bright, and move-in ready.' Ms Samuels said styling was now less about trends and more about trust. 'Everything from your lighting to your window coverings sends a signal to the buyer,' she said. 'If it feels cheap, dark, cluttered or chaotic, they can't imagine themselves living there, and if they can't picture it, they won't buy it. 'Making a decision like that could cost sellers thousands.' The Whitefox Bayside director said the most successful listings and sales across Melbourne leaned into soft lighting, calming textures, clean finishes and subtle emotional hooks. Belle Property and Hockingstuart Victoria director Anthony Webb said simple updates still delivered the best return. 'Even if a home is dated, fresh paint, decluttering and good lighting go a long way,' Mr Webb said. 'Presentation is everything, buyers are looking for emotional connection, not just layout and price.' At the top end of the market, Kay & Burton Bayside director James Driver said proportion and layout flaws were more likely to kill competition than finishes alone. 'The main (bedroom) is always great,' Mr Driver said. 'But when the secondary bedrooms are too small, even by a metre, buyers notice. 'If you've only got one serious buyer, you can't drive the price.' Mr Driver said high-end buyers expected cohesion and restraint, not just luxury. 'We're seeing the strongest results in homes that feel complete, calm and carefully considered,' he said. M R Advocacy director and buyers agent Madeleine Roberts said properties under $2m were particularly vulnerable to dated or divisive design. 'Grey-wash floors, black tapware and brown marble tiles all scream 'cheap reno' now,' Ms Roberts said. 'Buyers want homes that feel fresh, calm and high-end, not rushed or overly styled. 'I've seen $3m homes with bright red kitchens sit on the market for weeks, while neutral, well-styled homes around the corner sell within days.' Ms Roberts said emotional attachment to bold features was common among vendors, but rarely paid off at auction. 'I always tell sellers, pop those pieces in a box and save them for your next home. 'The goal is broad appeal, if a buyer gets a bad first impression, it sticks.' The M R Advocacy director said budget styling was another frequent issue. 'Everyone knows when you've Kmart-styled your house,' she said. 'Spend the $5000 on professional styling, it's worth it every time.'

Sprawling city block in Hobart up for sale but development roadblocks could dictate its future
It's been dubbed a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" to purchase a sprawling block in Hobart's CBD, and for some, a chance to increase housing density. The 11,000-square-metre site at 103 Melville Street is owned by the University of Tasmania (UTAS), which bought it in 2019 for $30 million. Last year, UTAS announced it intended to sell the site to fund other projects, scrapping plans to transform the precinct into a mix of retail, commercial and university spaces. Now its back on the market zoned as commercial, with the option of building up to six storeys. Mick Purves, from the Tasmanian branch of the Property Council of Australia, said there were a lot of options for development. A community group which advocates for development in Hobart wants the site to become medium-density housing. Yes In My Backyard Hobart (YIMBY Hobart) spokeswoman Susan Wallace said it was a "golden opportunity" to increase inner-city housing opportunities. "We're constantly pushing the outer urban boundary and people are finding themselves pushed right to the outskirts of the city and thus having to drive cars into the city when they work," Ms Wallace said. The group wants the state or federal governments to buy the block, or for UTAS to ensure it is sold with housing in the developer's plan. In a statement, a spokesperson for the university said they recognised the significance of the site and the potential it held to enhance the city. The ABC understands UTAS has not placed conditions on the sale to ensure the developer includes housing in the project. City of Hobart councillor Ryan Posselt said building homes would help increase city density to reduce congestion and enhance the economy. "We cannot squander this opportunity and leave it to the private sector to build another big box store car yard or even single-storey development." Mr Purves said governments need to incentivise and de-risk the project for developers, and others like it, by reducing the planning assessment pathway, or by helping provide major infrastructure upgrades. "Coordinating those types of add-ons to projects like that can be quite problematic, difficult and expensive," he said. "What we've seen is that these types of sites tend to get a one to two-storey response, which is a pretty low level of development, and we lose that opportunity for more intense projects." The Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme, which provides financial assistance for costs incurred for shipping goods over Bass Strait, does not cover building and construction materials and equipment. Mr Purves said while changing that would help reduce construction costs and provide subsidies for transport, there were still larger issues at play. Lord Mayor of Hobart Anna Reynolds said although purchasing the block of land outright was not feasible for the council, it would be willing to offer incentives. "We can play a role in waiving rates, waiving fees … and waiving other sort of planning restrictions that add to the costs of the development," Cr Reynolds said.
