Franklins Holdings Limited
 PROFILE
"More in your trolley for less" is the slogan of Franklins Holdings. A subsidiary of Asia/Pacific food- and drugstore giant Dairy Farm International Holdings, Franklins runs about 280 discount supermarkets in Australia. (It is strongest in New South Wales, which includes Sydney.) Two-thirds of its stores operate under the Franklins Fresh and Big Fresh banners, offering fresh foods (produce, meat, deli, and bakery products) and discount groceries; the Franklins No Frills stores sell dry, chilled, and frozen foods and generic products. Some stores also offer liquor. Dairy Farm is splitting up Franklins, selling more than 100 stores to independent grocers and more than 60 to Woolworths, one of Franklins' chief rivals.
