Franklins opens refurbished store
Franklins supermarket in Woy Woy has reopened its doors after its refurbishment was completed on January 19.
The Woy Woy store was officially reopened by Franklins managing director Mr Aubrey Zelinsky.
According to Ms Zelinsky, the new store occupies a space of 1560 sq metres and provides jobs for around 70 local residents.
"The new look store represents a substantial investment by Franklins and is part of the company's three-year $50 million refurbishment and expansion plan," Ms Zelinsky said.
"The Woy Woy opening follows recent successful Franklins' refurbishments at Pagewood and Taren Point."
The store now offers specialised personal service across all fresh departments including the delicatessen, fresh meat and poultry, produce department and bakery.
"We are excited to be back servicing the Woy Woy community and I would like to thank our valued customers for their patience and loyalty during the recent refurbishment," Ms Zelinsky said.
"The improvements we have made at our store reflect Franklins' ongoing commitment to matching the range of goods available at supermarkets to community needs, and we believe the people of Woy Woy will be delighted with the new store."
Franklins Woy Woy store manager, Ms Dianne Simpson, said supermarket staff looked forward to welcoming customers back to the "bigger and brighter" Woy Woy store.
"We believe that with its more extensive offer, the newly-refurbished store will be extremely popular with the local community," Ms Simpson said.
Franklins in Woy Woy is located in Deepwater Plaza Shopping Centre.
