The last remaining Safeway stores in the state of Victoria rebranded into Woolworths.

In 2021, Woolworths dropped 'The Fresh Food People' from the logo, as they instated 'That's todays fresh food people' as their new motto.

The original slogan was restored along with a new version of the advertising jingle.
2015–2021[]
