Woolworths Newcomb Central reopens

WOOLWORTHS Newcomb Central has reopened following a major refresh, offering an expansive fresh food experience and convenient shopping options.

The new-look store, which closed in July, includes a larger self-serve checkout area in store, as well as a direct to boot service for customers who shop online.

More than 20 new team members have joined more than 100 existing staff members who worked in the old store and were relocated throughout Geelong during the refurbishment.

Woolworths Newcomb showcases an extensive range of Australian fruit and vegetables, including a collection of organic produce and a dedicated Odd Bunch section.

Customers are also able to choose from a selection of 100% Australian meat and a great variety of fresh, local seafood from the fish market.

Another standout feature of the new-look store is the full production bakery, with fresh, artisan style breads baked daily.

Woolworths Newcomb Central has implemented several offerings to help customers shopping in store and online.

 

This includes six dedicated parking bays for the Direct to Boot service where customers confirm they have arrived via the Woolworths app or SMS link to notify the store team, who will then pack the order directly in the boot with no additional charge.

There is also electronic ticketing in-store, removing the need for paper tickets and giving team members more time on the shop floor to help customers.

“My team and I are excited to offer local residents a new shopping experience with an even bigger range of groceries to choose from across all departments in the store, as well as a number of innovative new features to provide convenience and value,” Woolworths Newcomb Central store manager Andrew Winter said.

“We’re pleased to have so many new team members joining us from the local community, while also welcoming back all of the familiar faces who worked at the old store.”

Woolworths Newcomb Central is open at 71 Bellarine Highway, Newcomb from 7am to 10pm, seven days a week.
