Woolies remains SA's premium choice

According to Blue Alpha Funds, Woolworths Holdings Limited has been a household name since listing on the JSE in 1997. The company now operates 218 full-line stores and 430 stand-alone food stores across South Africa, with its food division continuing to gain market share.

Woolworths founder Max Sonnenberg opened the first store in Cape Town in 1931, believing that success lay in providing quality products at reasonable prices. This strategy has made Woolworths the premium retailer South Africans know and love today.

The company's focus on health, wellbeing, innovation and sustainable sourcing sets their food products apart from other retailers. Their ability to maintain freshness and quality through excellent supply chain management gives them a clear competitive advantage over other stores.
