Woolworths Bay Plaza Pialba

Radio Station: Breeze 102.5 FM
Date of Activation: 29th June 2025

Overview

To celebrate the grand reopening of Woolworths Bay Plaza in Hervey Bay, Breeze 102.5 FM proudly partnered with Woolworths for a live outside activation event at the centre. The promotion helped mark the return of the popular supermarket on Torquay Road, following a major refurbishment that began in early March. With a focus on fresh food, convenience, and value, the newly renovated store features upgraded fresh food departments, a larger self-serve checkout area, and new refrigeration systems across the dairy and freezer sections.

The activation with Breeze 102.5 FM engaged customers, offering prizes, giveaways and a general excitement to the day. Local residents were invited to explore the store’s extensive range of fresh Australian produce, a new full production bakery, and premium local seafood.

The broadcast offered a connection to the community, celebrating Woolworths’ commitment to Hervey Bay and its customers.
