Welcome to Woolworths – a passionately South African retailer dedicated to bringing you quality, style and value for the past 85 years.

Woolworths, or Woolies, as we're fondly called, began life as a department store in Cape Town in 1931. 85 years later, Woolworths is one of South Africa’s best-loved and most iconic brands. With departments spanning food, clothing, beauty and homeware, Woolies has evolved over time, but always with one, vital thing firmly in place – our values.

From innovation to quality and conservation, Woolies strives to constantly bring a better service and product to its customer, and in doing so, to make a lasting difference – socially, environmentally and in business.

With over 400 stores countrywide, we’re growing organically and are honoured to have you join us on our journey.
