Where is the biggest BIG W store in Melbourne?

Neither Woolworths Group nor BIG W publishes a public ranking of store sizes by floor area. However, the BIG W at Pacific Werribee is one of the chain’s larger suburban locations, occupying a generous section of the shopping centre’s retail floor. The centre itself is among Melbourne’s biggest shopping destinations by number of stores.

Other large BIG W stores in Melbourne

• BIG W at Chadstone Shopping Centre is often cited as one of the busiest, but exact size comparisons are not publicly documented.
• BIG W at Highpoint Shopping Centre (Maribyrnong) also has a large footprint.

The pattern: without official data, shoppers should rely on product availability rather than square metres. For most needs, BIG W Werribee stocks the same core ranges as other stores.

Are Woolworths and BIG W the same?

Short answer: not exactly. Both operate under the same parent company, but they are separate retail formats with different product ranges and target customers.

Corporate structure: Woolworths Group ownership

• BIG W is a wholly owned subsidiary of Woolworths Group (Woolworths Group corporate site).
• Woolworths supermarkets sell groceries and fresh food; BIG W sells general merchandise (clothing, homewares, electronics, toys, furniture).
• Both brands share supply chain and back-office functions but operate as separate retail chains with distinct store layouts and marketing.

Differences in store format and product range

• Woolworths supermarkets: average 3,500 sqm, focused on food and household essentials.
• BIG W stores: average 8,000–10,000 sqm, dedicated to non-food categories.
• BIG W does not sell fresh food, and Woolworths does not sell furniture or large appliances.

What this means: you can’t buy a roast chicken at BIG W, and you can’t pick up a garden chair at Woolworths. For groceries, head to the Woolworths supermarket at Pacific Werribee; for everything else, walk to BIG W.

Which is more popular, Kmart or BIG W?

The trade-off: Kmart has more stores and higher revenue, but BIG W offers a broader furniture range and is preferred by shoppers who want a single trip for larger home items. For families in Werribee, Kmart is also at Pacific Werribee, so you can easily compare both in one outing.

Holiday and special event hours

What is the largest outlet in Melbourne?

BIG W itself is not the largest outlet in Melbourne — that title belongs to shopping centres rather than individual stores. Pacific Werribee ranks among Melbourne’s biggest centres, but Chadstone Shopping Centre holds the crown for overall retail floor space.

Major shopping centres in Melbourne

• Chadstone Shopping Centre – largest by retail floor space (~250,000 sqm) (Wikipedia – Chadstone)
• Pacific Werribee – ~140,000 sqm, one of the largest in the western suburbs (Pacific Werribee official site)
• Highpoint Shopping Centre – ~160,000 sqm
• Westfield Fountain Gate – ~170,000 sqm

BIG W Werribee’s role in Pacific Werribee

• BIG W is a key anchor tenant, drawing foot traffic and serving as a destination for general merchandise.
• The store’s location near the centre’s main entrance makes it convenient for both drive-in and public-transport visitors.

The catch: while BIG W Werribee is not the single biggest store in Melbourne, it benefits from being inside one of the city’s largest shopping centres. For western-suburbs residents, it’s often the most accessible BIG W location.
