New discounter in Dortmund: Woolworth opens on February 13th!

Woolworth, the best-known discounter department store in Germany, will open a new branch in Dortmund on February 13, 2025. This is located on Rheinische Straße 84, in the immediate vicinity of the U-Tower and the Union area, in the former net shop. It will be the ninth Woolworth branch in Dortmund, which will offer a sales area of ​​960 square meters.

The location is strategically advantageous because the branch is located on a main road that has a high running and car frequency. There are 21 car parking spaces available for customers, which further improves the accessibility of the new branch. The company is currently still looking for employees, especially sellers and security employees, to support the company.

expansion and company history

Woolworth is currently on an expansion course and is planning a total of 800 new branches in Germany. The planned opening in Dortmund is part of this ambitious growth strategy. The company has a long history that goes back to 1879 when it was founded in Pennsylvania by Frank Winfield Woolworth. In the 1910s Woolworth was the largest department store company in the world and played a formative role in retail.

In the course of time, the German markets were separated from the parent company. The current plans for the opening in Dortmund show the ongoing success of the company in Germany, where there are already eight existing branches in the city. These include locations on Münsterstrasse, Bornstrasse, and in districts such as Hörde and Brackel.

A look into the future

The opening of the new branch in Dortmund was originally planned for 2023, but was postponed to spring 2025. Customers and interested parties can look forward to a variety of products in a modern environment that takes into account today's shopping experience. Woolworth's goal remains to offer a wide range of articles at an attractive price.

The future branch will not only be a profit for customers who live in the area, but also for the local economy, since jobs are created. The decision for the location on Rheinische Straße shows that Woolworth takes the needs and preferences of its customers seriously and continues to invest in the city.
