Bring on the Country Road

Woolworths is expanding its product range and will soon feature a select range of clothing from sister company, a leading Australian retailer, Country Road. Womenswear clothing and accessories will be trialled initially at four stores: V&A Waterfront and Cavendish in the Cape, and Sandton and Hyde Park in Gauteng, from early April 2008. Woolworths has a majority shareholding in Country Road, which offers a select range of clothing and homeware through stores in Australia and New Zealand.
