    Putting the food back into Woolworths

    Grahamstown may be closer to the addition of the long awaited food department at Woolworths.  Promises and rumours have been circulating since it was first announced in Grocott’s Mail on 27 November

    Grahamstown may be closer to the addition of the long awaited food department at Woolworths.  Promises and rumours have been circulating since it was first announced in Grocott’s Mail on 27 November
    2009.


    Gary Poovan, the owner of the Woolworths, Grahamstown branch says that in November they had planned opening around 12 April this year.

    But delays with the municipality over land marked for development has stalled the extensions to the current store.

    The addition would go a long way towards contributing to Grahamstown’s status and economy in the surrounding area as shoppers may no longer need to leave the city to find their favourite fare.

    Rob Beer, the owner of Beer Properties, says that “My company has applied to the municipality to exchange a piece of land it owns behind Clicks for the equivalent behind Woolworths for parking owned by the municipality.

    When this is resolved I will be in a position to start the new Woolies Foods.” While Grahamstonians wait with baited breath for another year to roll by, the future prospects for a Woolies Food appears firmly cemented on the horizon.

    The need for Woolworths Food in Grahamstown is evident by the volume of consumer interest. A lucrative business venture such as this will keep the current exodus of shoppers from venturing as far afield as Port Alfred and Port Elizabeth to obtain their weekly Woolworths Food fix.
