History
Woolworths launched Thomas Dux, an upmarket grocery store, in April 2008 and operated two stores in the Sydney, New South Wales suburbs of Paddington and Lane Cove.
In May 2009, Woolworths announced the acquisition of up to nine boutique grocery store leases from Macro Wholefoods, with the intention to rebadge the stores under the Thomas Dux brand.[2] The first of the rebadged stores opened in August 2009.
