Does background noise bother you? Peter Greco hears about the latest solutions from Katie Wyatt, Coles Head of Diversity and Inclusion. Coles has expanded its low-sensory shopping experience – Quiet Hour - to five days a week, at a time that better suits many customers and working parents. Reduced sound has been extended for customers from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, Monday through Friday at Coles stores nationally.
