[‘I have contacted Shop Direct and said,
“you’re not using the brand anymore, would you consider giving
it to someone who would?”‘ Mr Page said he would like to bring back
Woolies in a ‘similar format’ but would like to see them placed
at the ‘heart of communities’ rather than in big shopping centres.]

Well this is all very embarrassing isn’t it arista

[Black Dagger]

I don't know why the world even needs Woolworths anyway bar nostalgia that would quickly fade off again.

Wilko and B+M do what they do and better. The only thing it'd have been good for is pick n mix and that would have been scaled down like what you'd see in cinemas or Wilko anyway.

Yeah tbf it's not like what Woolworths offered isn't still available on the high street

My local Woolworths is now a Poundland, and it is basically the same thing.

if Woolworths were serious about returning they would bring back the Willy Wonka bars that they sold as part of a promotion for that terrible Tim Burton remake back in 2005... it's the only thing they were good for before they went bust :hmph:

:umm2:I was in the town centre I used to work in a few weeks ago, haven't been there for about 15 months, and I swear it had changed completely. Loads of stuff gone but also loads of new shops that didn't used to be there. It was very odd, as I worked there for 7 years but it was like being in a totally different town...
