Discount supermarket chain Aldi has become Australia’s largest retailer of skiwear and snow clothing, according to local CEO Tom Daunt. Aldi has launched a separate website for ski clothing, with the aim of attracting shoppers on higher incomes who would not usually visit one of its stores. Aldi currently boasts nine stores in South Australia, and Daunt says the group is pleased with its initial success in the state. Its first store in Western Australia will open later in 2016.

Australian retailers have enjoyed a surge in sales of warm clothing and heaters due to the onset of very cold weather in the eastern states in mid-July 2015. The Good Guys’ sales of portable heaters have risen by 20 per cent in Victoria and 22 per cent in New South Wales, while Melbourne clothing retailers Otto & Spike and The Coat Man have reported strong demand for their products. Bogong Equipment’s sales of skiing gear have also risen strongly.
