Woolworths Appreciation After Temporary Coles Closure

With Coles Ayr closing unexpectedly to complete urgent roof repairs, Woolworths has weathered an influx of shoppers to pick up the demand.

Many residents have taken to social media to share their appreciation of the supermarket’s handling of the extra customers.

“I think Woolies in Ayr deserve a big shout out for the amazing job they’ve done dealing with a sudden 100 per cent increase of demand from their store,” one person posted in the Burdekin Community Hub Facebook group.

“Not an easy task logistically and can only imagine the stress involved for all of their staff.”

The post was met with countless comments of support for the supermarket and its staff.

“I’ve been saying the same thing,” read one comment.

“Thank you for Woolworths staff working super hard.”

“The staff in there are so wonderful when you need help, they are so amazing.

“Keep up the good work, good to see people that still respect their jobs,” said another.

“They've been so busy every time I've gone in, but still amazing customer service and friendly smiles,” said another.

Coles, located in Burdekin Plaza in Ayr, suddenly closed in February after heavy rain caused damage to the buildings roof.
