Woolworths Country Road: The Fashion Brand Sold in Woolworths Stores and How to Shop It
Quick answer: Country Road is a clothing and homeware brand, and our search found a Country Road store page for a shop at Woolworths Hemingways in the Eastern Cape, listing hours of 9:00 to 18:00 Monday to Thursday, 9:00 to 19:00 Friday, 8:00 to 19:00 Saturday and 9:00 to 18:00 Sunday. Those hours belong to Country Road, not Woolworths, and may be out of date. We did not verify who currently owns Country Road or which Woolworths branches carry it, so confirm with the store. Woolworths' online categories include womenswear, kidswear and homeware.
Last updated: October 2026. The Country Road hours come from a Country Road store page seen in search results and may be out of date. We found no ownership information. Worked numbers are invented.
Background: brands inside department stores
Large department stores often host branded shops-in-shops, where a fashion label runs a dedicated area within a larger store. Customers get the brand's range and service, while the host store benefits from the traffic. Our search found a Country Road listing at Woolworths Hemingways, which suggests that this arrangement exists in at least one branch. The listing is useful for hours but does not tell us how widespread the arrangement is across South Africa.
Country Road offers women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories and homeware, generally with a classic, relaxed style. Prices sit in the mid-to-upper range. Some Woolworths customers also associate the brand with the same corporate family, but we found no source on ownership, so we do not assert it. If it matters to you, check the company's website or annual report for the current position.
How to shop the brand
If you want Country Road, check the brand's own website and the Woolworths website for stock. Use the store locators to find a branch or a standalone shop near you. Phone the store and ask whether it stocks your size and style, and whether it offers click and collect or delivery. Compare opening hours: shops inside malls may follow the mall's hours, which can differ from the store's food department.
Plan your purchase. On invented numbers, a shirt costs R749 at full price. In an end-of-season sale at 40% off it costs R449, a saving of R300, but only if you would wear it. Check the fit by trying it on, and look at fabric and care labels. If you buy online, note that the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act gives a seven-day cooling-off right for most online purchases, and the Consumer Protection Act allows returns of defective goods within six months. Keep your slip and tags until you are sure. Consider cost per wear: a coat at R2,400 worn 100 times costs R24 per wear, which may be better value than a cheaper coat worn ten times.
| Item (invented) | Price | Cost per wear |
|---|---|---|
| Coat worn 100 times | R2,400 | R24 |
| Cheaper coat worn 10 times | R700 | R70 |
Consumer tips and cautions
Link your MyDifference account in the Woolworths app, and check whether member offers apply to branded items. Compare prices between the brand's site and Woolworths' site. Under the Consumer Protection Act, prices must not mislead, so check that sale prices are genuine by comparing with earlier prices you noted.
Beware of scams that use famous brands to sell fake clothing or offer vouchers via links. Buy only from official websites and stores. Never share one-time PINs or card details. For second-hand or discounted brand items from unknown sellers, ask for proof of authenticity and use payment methods with buyer protection. A calm approach, with attention to fit, price per wear and returns policy, gets you better clothes for your money.
Online shopping for clothing carries its own considerations. Check the size chart and consider ordering two sizes if returns are free and easy, then returning the one that does not fit. Look at product photographs from multiple angles, and zoom in on fabric details. Read the delivery times and costs before you pay, because small orders can attract fees that reduce the benefit of a sale. If you collect in store, check the hours and bring your ID and order confirmation. Keep original packaging and tags until you are sure about the purchase. For gifts, consider a gift card or ask the recipient for sizes discreetly. Clothing that fits well and suits your lifestyle will give you far better value than a bargain that stays in the cupboard.
