The first Woolworths store opened its doors to the public in Cape Town in October 1931. It was founder Max Sonnenberg who captured the public’s imagination with dynamic store policies that set Woolworths apart from its competitors.
Three years later, a second branch opened in Durban, with another two in Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg a year later. Since then they’ve been building on our reputation for superior quality, exciting innovation, and excellent value.

I only shop Woolies red meats and chicken because they are the best. The chicken skin stay on unlike other chicken brands that integrate even not over cooked. What I also like about Woolies is that most, if not all of their store brands are produced in South Africa...I am happy to pay R50 more for a South African virgin olive oil than those cheap EU versions that are mixed with lord knows what

Woolies is not as expensive as people think it is. You will be surprised by some of their pricing such as bulk buy red meats and chicken...Best meat and chicken...but fruit? Yeah, that's pricey...Ready to eat meals are also expensive but the best 😉

The Woolworths in SA is different from, and unrelated to the one you had in the US. This one is a local company that's been there for decades, hence it's still in operation. Also unrelated to the Australian one, they just share a name.

@ronaldabuezubane7397 6 ай бұрын

Are you sure? Many SA companies have operations in a number of Western countries including the UK , Poland etc. Nandos, Spar and Ocean Basket are such companies. I listen to Business News on a frequent basis, where they discuss how they are performing overseas.

Hey family, hope you good abd are still ejoying SA. Just wanted to state that Woolworths food doesn't correctly represent south sfrica prices of food coz the prices thete are mostly twice or three times more the regular price of products. Woolworths food is like a luxury food shorp, but they still sell the same food you'd find snywhere in SA, but its just packaged different and it costs much higher at Woolworths food. To find nirmal SA food prices, you might need to visit a checkers, pick'n pay or spar or even Shoprite. Shoprote is like the cheapest when it comes to food prices.
