Woolies eats up market share whilst DJ drags performance
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Woolies announced its half-year results to 31 December 2020, with many of the thrills and spills of previous results announcements taking centre stage. The group’s crown jewel, Woolworths food, continues to flourish and eat up market share from competitors. This is mainly as a result of a mix of innovation and convenience, leading to this division being an industry leader. David Jones continues to be a drag on performance, with discretionary fashion spend subdued due to the economic effects of the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns. If Roy Bagattini, Woolworths CEO and ex-Levi Strauss & Co. boss can turn the tide on the high-margin clothing business, Woolworths is well positioned to benefit given the out performance of its food division.

According to the Danbury Fire Department, the Hat City s Bravest sprung to action just before 11:00 PM upon being notified that there was active fire in the area of Wooster Street and Deer Hill Avenue. As they arrived to location of the report, the firefighters were flagged down by neighbors, directing them to the four-story, wood framed condominium complex at 130 Deer Hill Avenue.
By that time, smoke was reportedly billowing up from the rear of the complex, and upon their initial observation, the DFD elevated the fire to a second alarm, allowing for additional units to be brought in to assist with what s been described as heavy fire conditions on both the third and fourth floors of the complex. The fire began to extend to the attic as well.
