Annandale Townsville Coles store's poignant Anzac Day display sparks intensely patriotic reaction

Daily Mail  

A statue of an Australian soldier erected inside a coles store ahead of Anzac Day has sparked an intensely patriotic reaction from many on social media, while others have argued it cheapens the day by turning it into 'a sales tactic'. Hundreds of shoppers praised the supermarket giant for putting up the display ahead of Anzac Day commemorations 'If it were actually for ANZAC DAY it would be a display and nothing else,' another user wrote. 'Our bakers rise to the occasion for Bravery Trust every year, making nearly 500,000 Anzac biscuits in the week leading up to Anzac Day. It's a cause our bakers love getting behind and we hope our customers can support too by buying a 12-pack Coles Bakery Anzac biscuit on or before Anzac Day.'
