Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director, Roy Morgan Research, says:

“The recent positive increases, and 2 year high for Woolworths’ overall satisfaction in August, gave them a clear lead over Coles, and now it’s the closest Woolworths have been to Aldi, as the leader in supermarket satisfaction in over 4 years”

“Part of the reason for the increase in the overall Woolworth’s satisfaction is their performance in the meat, bread, fresh fruit and veg departments. Woolworths now leads the other three major supermarkets in satisfaction with the meat department.”
