Advantages: Pricing was good, good quality, range of products

Disadvantages: Closed down due to problems

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. Not only does it sell stationary, it also sold art equipment, toys for kids, kid's clothes, you name it, which was also beneficial to me as whenever I shopped for pens and extra stuff, I always bought a little something for my baby brother, rather than going to Mothercare. The clothes are also of good quality and not cheaply made, so that was a plus. The pricing was also good and in some cases reasonable. Their offers were the best though and that was what made Woolworths unique. I always used to buy my pens there, 30 in a pack for about £1. A bargain considering that other retailers only do about 15 or so for the same price. The pens were also the best I've used and were suitable for anything, ie. exams and such. It really was the place to go to, to cater for all your needs. Also, they were known for their chocolates and sweets. Whenever there was an occasion, I'd always go there to get celebrations or if I wanted to buy little singular sweets, I'd scoop alot and put it into a pack and take it to the counter. They were really yummy too.

Definately a shame that they're gone. I read their blog and it says they hope to be back soon and that they're not gone forever. I hope this is true, really do.

Summary: One of the best retailers, a shame that they're gone
