Woolworths

I was so disappointed when Woolworths closed down. I loved that shop so much. You could get whatever you needed it in. When it was a birthday, Christmas, Easter etc, I always went to Woolies to get something. When they did close last Christmas, the sales were amazing. Because of the credit crunch etc, I got a lot of my Christmas pressies from there and it saved me a fortune. I am going to be lost this year without Woolies. I am so glad that they are now online. However, they don't really have that much online, but hopefully, the more people that find out about it and buy things, they will get more back on. I really do hope that things get better and ...  Read the complete review

When i heard that Woolworths was in financial trouble i never imagined it would ever actually close down i always thougt there would be someone out there to save it. Unfortunately they did close down all of their stores at the beginning of this year and so many people lost there jobs (my thought are with all their previous employees - good luck). I didnt think it would impact me as much as it has. I work in a shopping centre which used to have a Woolworths like so many others (it was one of the biggest stores in the centre) and even now i seem to direct customers to Woolworths when they ask for something we dont sell before remembering its demise. ...  Read the complete review

Woolworths is certainly being missed by me as I used to shop at my local one in Blackburn a lot. Woolworths had everything from stationery,toys,sweets,electrical items,games,music cds and dvds. The store was fantastic in the range of variety and was also really well set out as you would have no trouble finding a certain item. The worst section they had in the recent months before they shut down was their pick and mix section. This section was abused a lot in Blackburn by customers who used to mix sweets around and also even open some of them and leave them there! The main reason there was less profits here before it got shut down here was their ...  Read the complete review

Woolworths was my favourite stationary retailer, selling stuff from books to notebooks to pens and pencils, it was the ideal place to get equipment for school/college/university. To be honest, as a college student, it was perfect for me. It's a shame that they had to close down due to financial problems, because I got so used to shopping there, that it was sort of like second nature. I remember just when they shut down, I had wanted to get these note pads from there as they were selling them cheap, sort of like the pukka pads, and I was fed up because I remembered that it was closed down so I had to pay more at another retailer for the same style pads which was a shame. ...  Read the complete review

I used to work for another company that were part of Woolworths before they closed down. When Woolworths decided to close I was extremely upset, mainly due to the fact that I was to be made redundant, but largely because Woolies has been around FOREVER and the high street just isn't the same without it! The massive discounts that were applied during the closure of Woolies were however amazing. I myself found bargains (Facial Sauna for just 50p instead of £5!) However, I seem to feel a little bit like he public took advantage of these fantastic prices. I visited three Woolies stores after they announced they were closing and the state of the places was ...  Read the complete review
