Advantages: cheap and good quality
Disadvantages: closing
Woolworth's.......
Woolworth's is a store that has been around for quite some time now and unfortunately it's not going to be around for much longer.
Now apparently the store has been open since to late 30's but was exceptionally popular in the 50's. There was also a song written about Woolworth's and the fact you could get everything under one roof.
I love Woolworth's and it is going to be sorely missed in my little town, as it was really the only store ever worth a look around. The store literally sells everything and anything.
Chad Valley is the stores own toy range, they do a wide variety of toys for all different ages, and the quality is very good. Not only do Woolworth's stock Chad Valley toys, they also stock all the well-known makers of toys and toy items. You can often get these toys at a rather cheap price (especially now the store is closing and there is up to 60% off most things).
Ladybird is the clothing range that Woolworth's stock and this is high quality clothing for children from birth to the age of 10 I believe. This is all again at a reasonable price and more often than not you can get a good bargain.
Other things Woolworth's sell ranges from DVD's and CD's to sweets and Chocolate. There range of home ware is rather good too and again at a reasonable price.
Most things you could think of are sold at Woolworth's and in our town it really was the only shop where you could get what you wanted. On an Island like where I live these stores were the centre of the town and I do believe that the store closing will have a major impact on the amount of people that will now travel to the larger towns instead of shopping locally.
It is such a good store and it will be sadly missed. 5 stars and HIGH RECOMMENDATION.
Summary: a good store

- 31/12/08 Our local store closed yesterday and me and the kids went to have a last look around. My son is very sad about it. He said it's his favourite shop! A real shame and I'll really miss it x |

- 30/12/08 My home town is on a Penninsula so Woolies was the only shop where a lot of things could be bought even the basic essentials that many people forget to mention about Woolies such as their elastic, shirt buttons, sewing needles and for men, basic stuff like cheap work boxes and great diy tools. I will miss Woolies but I wont miss their awful Plimsolls they used to sell for kids - I had to have several pairs of them for primary school p.e! |

- 28/12/08 I think your review reflects how Woolies used to be, however in recent years, I don't think it has sold everything, it's range became limited and expensive. |
