Auto, Sports & Leisure Catalogue This Week in Australia

A grab-bag hub, and we will say so up front

Auto, Sports & Leisure is the loosest group on AdsSOS Australia. It holds car parts chains, camping and outdoors stores, bottle shops, a fabric and craft giant, an office supplier and a toy network. What ties them together is the weekly or fortnightly catalogue: one folder of specials per banner, opened by a shopper with a particular job in mind. Treat this page as a map. Pick the job, then jump to the store.

Car parts and accessories

Supercheap Auto, Repco stores and Autobarn stores are the three names people search together, and they are three different businesses. Repco has belonged to Genuine Parts Company since 1 July 2013, after earlier spells under Pacific Dunlop and private equity. Autobarn sits inside Bapcor. Supercheap Auto runs a free Club with Club Prices and stored proof of purchase, and its Australian site publishes a Price Beat Guarantee for identical, in-stock products from Australian competitors, final price including delivery.

The catalogue questions here are practical. For Repco, shoppers type "catalogue sale end date" and "sale dates". For Supercheap Auto and Autobarn they ask about Sunday hours and Anzac Day hours. Sunday hours vary by store and state, so check your own branch before you drive over with a boot full of empty oil bottles.

Camping, outdoors and the weekend crowd

BCF stores and Anaconda stores chase the same caravan-and-campsite shopper. BCF is a subsidiary of Super Retail Group (ASX: SUL) and runs Club BCF for adults aged 18 and over. Anaconda is part of the Spotlight Group and was founded in November 2004. Searches for both spike around Black Friday catalogues. Each has a price promise for identical items, but the conditions are set by the retailer and carry exclusions, so read the fine print in store.

Craft, office and toys

Spotlight stores sells fabric, craft and homewares and runs a free VIP Club. Its Bargain Guarantee covers identical stocked items against a competitor within 30 km. Officeworks stores belongs to Wesfarmers, was founded in 1994 by Coles Myer and had 176 stores as of 2026 per Wikipedia. Flybuys applies, and OnePass members get five times the points for a monthly or yearly fee. "Officeworks price match" is a very common search, and the exclusions matter more than the headline.

Toyworld stores is another animal altogether: independently owned stores supported by the ARL co-operative, with a Toyworld Club for offers but no points scheme described. Catalogue searches peak with the Christmas book, and shoppers add a city such as Hobart, because stock and specials follow each owner.

Bottle shops: the biggest block in this hub

Liquor banners make up most of the stores listed here, and they are not one thing. Dan Murphy's and BWS stores are both Endeavour Group, which listed on the ASX in June 2021. Dan's runs a free My Dan's membership, with over 5.5 million active members in March 2025 per Wikipedia, plus a Lowest Liquor Price Guarantee with exclusions and quantity limits. BWS links Everyday Rewards in its app and offers delivery and free click and collect. Liquorland stores belongs to Coles Group and uses Flybuys. People even search "BWS vs Dan Murphy's" side by side, which says they are weighing the two Endeavour banners against each other and against Liquorland.

Then come the independents under a banner. Metcash says Cellarbrations stores has over 500 stores and The Bottle-O over 250, each independently owned and operated, so the catalogue is a guide, not a promise from head office. Liquor Legends calls itself one of the largest independently owned liquor groups, with more than 350 outlets; its FAQ describes a rewards app, and click and collect pickup needs photo ID and the card used to pay, within 3 business days. Harry Brown is a small Queensland group under Liquor Marketing Group, with a Bracken Ridge store that took Best Retail Liquor at the 2021 AHA National Awards.

Timing, holidays and the catalogue cycle

Real searches show the calendar clearly: "Anzac Day bottle shop opening hours" with a state tacked on, "Black Friday catalogue" for BCF, Anaconda and Officeworks, and "next week" for BWS and Liquorland. SmartCompany's 2026 alcohol guide says standalone NSW bottle shops had to close all day on Anzac Day, Victorian ones generally opened from 1pm, Tasmania kept most bottle shops shut until 12.30pm and South Australia until midday unless exempt, while the ACT and Northern Territory had no broad retail ban. These rules are by state and by year, so check the regulator for the next one.

Using the catalogues well

• Match the hub to the job. A bottle-shop special and a car battery are not comparable. For the weekly food shop, try the supermarkets hub.
• Ask about price beat before paying, not after. Officeworks, Supercheap Auto, Spotlight and Dan Murphy's each describe one, each with exclusions.
• Know the law. The ACCC says you have no consumer-guarantee right to a refund if you simply changed your mind or found it cheaper elsewhere, but a store must follow any change-of-mind policy it has. Faulty goods are different: shops cannot take away your right to a repair, replacement or refund.
• Join free clubs only for banners you use: Supercheap Auto Club, VIP Club, My Dan's.

For the whole picture, the Australia catalogue overview shows how every category fits together.
