Coles is a Canadian bookstore chain.
In April 1994, Coles and SmithBooks, the country's two largest book store chains were merged. The resulting company, Chapters, Inc., opened Canada's first two book superstores under the Chapters name brand in November 1995, but retained the name Coles for its smaller-format bookstores in shopping malls.
Since 2001, Coles and its parent company have been owned by Indigo Books and Music.
