I’m so sorry to hear that the major high-street store Woolworths is in the hands of administrators. They have been the latest of high-profile casualties of the financial crisis.
When I was a kid, going into a Woolworths store was like an event for me, particularly when I go to buy the infamous Pick ‘N Mix sweets, and that I would normally go there every Easter to buy any selection of chocolate eggs. My family and I would also go there to buy a significant bulk of our Christmas presents. My local branch closed over two decades ago, but I still go to a store in a neighbouring area to see what they have. It would be very sad indeed if Woolworths is consigned to history.
Woolworths, RIP…..?
