On October 17th 2015 I complained on my blog site that Woolworths is second to Coles in service, especially in the Deli section.
That is why I used to prefer shopping at Coles rather than in Woolworths
Now I’m happy to write that Woolworths has made a concerted effort to increase its sales by improving service and lowering its prices.
Some of its supermarkets have been renovated and I have to say it’s a pleasure to shop in our local store now. In spite of this supermarket not being larger the aisles are wider, the products are extremely well displayed and the choice of products is extensive. I enjoy the selection of imports from Europe which give the supermarket a cosmopolitan feel.
Frankly, the store has become more classy and compares well with those specialist food stores where one can buy something a bit more interesting.
Surprisingly for such an upmarket store the prices are often cheaper than those in Coles, so good on Woolies for being more competitive and often on a par with Aldi’s prices.
Woolworths is now my favourite supermarket.
I shop at Coles when I am looking for international food or more upscale stock like Picnic Peanut Butter. Coles always stock up the new and trending food first almost like IGA. But I agree that Woolies has now renovated the supermarket and it looks really grand! The $10 off with the loyalty card makes me like Woolies even more.
