Mount Gambier, SA

Drakes Supermarket

Drakes Supermarkets is a respected South Australian, family-owned supermarket group with a strong presence across the state. To support the brand’s continued growth, developer Leyton Property identified the opportunity to reposition an existing Coles supermarket site in Mount Gambier — transforming it into a contemporary, high-performing retail destination for Drakes’ 69th store.

Engaged from the pre-purchase stage, BELL worked closely with Leyton Property to assess opportunity, develop the design vision and collaborate through planning and delivery.

BELL’s architectural scope included façade redesign, site upgrades and a full car park redevelopment, incorporating new shade structures and modern amenities to deliver a clean, functional and inviting customer experience.

Delivered in collaboration with Leyton Property, Drakes Supermarkets, Savills and Wyatt Contracting, the project reflects BELL’s proven capability in the retail and mixed-use sectors, where we combine design strategy, adaptive reuse and operational insight to deliver value-driven outcomes for clients and communities. The result is a retail environment that meets Drakes’ high standards while revitalising a key Mount Gambier town centre site — contributing to the continued growth of regional retail in South Australia.
