Just how did Woolworths become an Australian household name?

Since opening our 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. We began operating fresh food stores 60 years ago when advances in refrigeration technology revolutionised transport and storage. In 2010 we celebrated our 86th year in the retailing business.
