History
Since opening their first single basement store in Sydney’s Pitt Street in 1924, Woolworths has grown into a household name with a presence in almost every metropolitan and regional centre in Australia and New Zealand. They began operating fresh food stores 60 years ago when advances in refrigeration technology revolutionised transport and storage. In 2010 they celebrated their 86th year in the retailing business.
