Pick 'n Pay Hypermarket

Pick 'n Pay hypermarkets are a chain of supermarkets in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia owned by Wesfarmers. There are two stores located at Aspley and Sunnybank Hills. The stores are at least 13,000 m² in size and sell fresh food, groceries, clothing, white goods, toys, sporting goods and similar items.

The format is similar to that pioneered in the United States by Wal Mart.

The Aspley store was established by South African retailer Pick 'n Pay in the 1980s but was purchased by Coles Group (then Coles Myer) in the 1990s. The Sunnybank Hills store was converted to a Pick 'n Pay Hypermarket in 1998.

Coles Myer operated a similar format called Super K Mart which contained a K-Mart with a supermarket in the one open plan building on various sites throughout Australia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These stores remain, but with walls dividing the two sections.
