IT’S been a construction site for almost two years and now the new Woolworths at Crows Nest is finally here.

On the corner of Alexander and Burlington Streets, the 3800sq m superstore opened its doors on Thursday at 7am.

Woolworths Crows Nest store manager Terese Borg said she was “honoured and proud” to be part of the $52 million redevelopment.

“Our aim is to connect customers directly with our local fresh producers as much as possible,” she said.

“Our store will highlight the wonderful seasonality of produce.”

North Sydney Mayor Jilly Gibson welcomed the long-awaited opening.

“It’s thrilling, after 15 years of planning, to be here at the opening,” she said.

“I think this will be an ­absolute economic boost for the businesses in Crows Nest village and will bring a new level of convenience.”

Woolworths celebrated the launch with donations to the community including Phoenix House Foundation and North Sydney Girls and Boys high schools.
