Woolworths began operation on 5 December 1924 in Sydney's Pitt Street Imperial Arcade as Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement, named after the expanding American Woolworth chain which had yet to trademark its name in Australia. Their second supermarket opened in Queen Street, Brisbane on 6 August 1927.

In 1987, Woolworths launched their "The Fresh Food People" slogan to unite marketing material with Safeway, which is still used today. The oldest known location with the logo is Eastwood in New South Wales. Other stores like Kambah in the ACT, and Booragon in Western Australia still has it up too.

In 2009, the logo got an overhaul for the first time since 1987, it now has an apple for its icon, and the "Woolworths" text is now lowercase (with the first W being an exception). Safeway stores in Victoria slowly got converted to Woolies from 2009 to 2017.

Woolworths 2012

This logo phased out the use of red in the wordmark. In 2021, Woolworths dropped 'The Fresh Food People' from the logo for a period of time, as they instated slogans like 'That's todays fresh food people' and 'Get your woolies worth'.
