Use this page as a quick orientation to a JSE-listed company: find the code, confirm what the business does, then move on to the index view or a code lookup for the wider list. Woolworths Holdings trades under the code WHL on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the exchange where the company is listed.
The company behind the code is Woolworths, often shortened to Woolies. It is a retail group based in Cape Town, with a footprint that stretches beyond its home market. Its operations bring together the Woolworths department store and grocery business, the Australian chain Country Road, and Absolute Pets, described as the country's biggest pet store chain. The group was founded in 1931.
For anyone working from an index-led view, the useful details are simple: retail is the line of business, Cape Town is where the group is based, and the exchange listing is the reference point for the code. This page sticks to those verified particulars rather than price or performance talk.
