Woolworths officially opened its ‘Micro' Foods store at Amdec's 28 Harrison Street in Johannesburg last week. The 500m² store is the first of its kind in a central business district and its success could herald the roll out of a number of similar stores which the group is currently considering in major CBDs across South Africa. The selected location is in one of the most vibrant quarters of the Johannesburg CBD - in the heart of the city's financial district and is ideally situated one block south of the 'Government precinct', and about two blocks from the Gauteng Legislature building.
