Woolworths Holdings Limited customer service
The retailer has an omnichannel presence, with an online offering across its major brands. Affectionately known as Woolies, the retailer aims to offer its customers a strong quality and value proposition.
"To bolster its quality service to shoppers, we plan to open more stores and ramp up our on-demand delivery service," Roy Bagattini, Chief Executive, mentioned after reporting 4.2% food sales growth in the year to June 26 for the company. Since 2020, the retail giant has grown by 3% in store count.
"We are now stepping up our space growth in a very targeted way through new stores and the expansion of existing footprints, which will enable our growth in new categories such as pet and wellness," Bagattini added.
The company will also expand its e-commerce by doubling its on-demand delivery fulfilment stores from its current 48 such locations. WHL has operations in Australia and New Zealand and will progressively invest in capturing new customers by lowering prices, Bagattini said.
