Project 'Refresh' seems to be rejuvenating revenue streams with Woolworths reporting an impressive sales figure of $5.1bn for the quarter to September, up nearly 10% on last year. Supermarket sales increased by 8.6% while the Big W and Dick Smith stores experienced a lower, but still superb, increase of 7.1%. The division that really drove up sales was that of wholesale, experiencing a tasty 73.7% increase in revenue to $165m. All retailers are now getting set for the hectic (hopefully) nine weeks to Christmas. We'll stick by our issue 39 ACCUMULATE recommendation when the share price was $5.38.
