Woolworths

Woolworths has been around since back in 1924. It first opened its doors on Friday, 5 December of that year in Sydney’s Imperial Arcade. At the time it was named ‘Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement’. They sold all sorts of goods such as homewares. It was not a grocery store but a store that was a ‘handy place where good things are cheap’ according to the founding CEO, Percy Christmas. They have since simplified the name to just ‘Woolworths’ and have changed their offerings to suit today’s customers. Nowadays, they specialise mainly in grocery products with a few homewares thrown in.
