Jun 28, 2007 (The Sydney Morning Herald - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers is the only group that has expressed an interest in buying the whole Coles Group operation. The consortium led by Texas Capital Group will not bid for the entire company, however it may attempt to purchase parts of the operation. Coles has urged shareholders to remember that the business does not necessarily need to be sold as one unit, and has suggested that retail giant Woolworths may place a bid for Target and Officeworks. Wesfarmers has offered Coles shareholders $A16.47 per share. Coles shares closed at $A16.14 on 28 June 2007.
