Advantages: had everything you needed!!

Disadvantages: Was more expensive than other places! q

I used to love Woolies before they all closed down very recently after 100 years of business, I find it very sad, but to be honest, I think its their own fault...

They made the mistake of having their fingers in everyones pies, they sold a bit of everything, but at a higher price...which is obviously no good!! Their sweets were 10 times more expensive than the likes of Wilkinsons, their clothes more expensive than Asda.
Yes, their DVds and music were good, but even then, plces such as HMV are cheaper still.

So people would look around there and then go buy their stuff from other places, thats what I found alot, I'd go in and look at the stuff (toys etc) then go to Argos and get the items from there for cheaper!!

So to be honest, when it came down to it I wasn't that surprised when they said they were closing, I think before they did this, they needed to cut back on their costs even just by 10%, try to salvage the shop. Get rid of the clothes and cafe's...they just weren't bringing in the money!!

But what happened happened, and they're closed, and its so sad that after 100 years the shop had to close its doors for the last time. You woudl have thought after all the government bail outs happening for the likes of Lloyds, who then went on to spend thousands on their shareholders christmas parties...they could have maybe given Woolworths a loan to at least try to sort them out, give them a chance, but hey they didn't.

Lots of people have lost their jobs...but the government dont care about that do they....they only care about thew workers of Jaguar,...well think about it...the jaguars they sell....they're making money on the tax they're paying on the car and the petrol used to run it...so of course they're more interested in bailing them out inmstead.....even though the majority of people have been hit hard by the credit crunch and can't afford the cars anyway!!!!!

Anyway to stop this going into a political rant which its going to if i'm not careful I shall shut up now lol!!!!

In conclusion, before Woolies closed down, it was a good shop, it had everything you needed, even if it was a little bit more expensive than other places. Poor Woolies...end of an era!

Summary: I was sad to see them go!
