A BI-LO store in Sydney, 2005
John Weekes started Bi-Lo towards the end of the 1970s in the city of Adelaide in South Australia with three shops. It was called Bi-Lo because it sells food and everyday articles at relatively cheap prices.
Bi-Lo stocked the legendary black&gold products that were so true and humble to an Aussie home.
Bi-Lo maintained cheap prices by underpaying their staff, and taking advantage of their trauma by keeping them scared of losing their jobs. Store managers were typically narcissists, as were most 2IC, and front end managers.
