Deutsche Woolworth GmbH & Company OHG (commonly known as Woolworth Deutschland or Woolworth GmbH) is a chain of department stores in Germany and was a former subsidiary of the American F. W. Woolworth Company. As of 2022 the chain has more than 570 stores in Germany, 18 in Poland and 2 in Austria, they are aiming to have over 1,000 in the medium term and over 5,000 across Europe in the long term.
It was not part of the closure scheme that affected the British Woolworths Group stores, nor is it related to the Australian-based Woolworths Group retail group.
In July 2021, Woolworths Deutschland purchased the British and Irish Woolworths trademarks, brands, intellectual properties and website from The Very Group for an undisclosed sum.[1][2]
