Primary

Measure	Time frame
Store sales of healthy (‘core’) and less healthy ('discretionary') foods is assessed using store sales data is aggregated weekly per store and per department (e.g. grocery, dairy, bakery) is assessed by reviewing sales data collected during the the baseline period (12 months prior to the intervention period), intervention period (May 2017 to end Feb 2018) and the post-intervention period (2018).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Mean change between the baseline and intervention periods in sales of packaged foods according to their health star rating (measured both as a dichotomous =4.5 vs. <4.5 star rating, as well as a continuous measure) will be assessed using store sales data obtained at the completion of the intervention period (Feb/March 2018) 2. Mean change between the baseline and intervention periods in sales of fresh fruit and vegetables is measured using store sales data of all fresh fruit and vegetables assessed using store sales data obtained at the completion of the intervention period (Feb/March 2018) 3. The nutrient value of all products sold will be obtained by matching the products in the sales database to either the database obtained from the FoodSwitch app (The George Institute), or the AusNut database. Mean change between the baseline and intervention periods in key nutrients, including total energy (kj), fat, saturated fat, sugar, salt, fibre, protein and carbohydrate content will be assessed 5. Mean change between the baseline and intervention periods in profit will be measured using the cost and retail price of all food sold, using store sales data	—
