Advantages: it was a great store selling a variety of products at good value

Disadvantages: all shops are now closed

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.

It used to sell a variety of items including electrical/DIY/stationary/media/toys/onfectionary/ clothes... the list seems to be endless and to be able to get almost anything in one place was just great and at a good value usually.(especially their value range)

I just dont understand where the world has gone so wrong where such a huge organisation can collapse so suddenly.

I really miss Woolworths but i doubt we will be seeing its return as it would have been done already.

I did get a good range of sale items on its final few days (3 tins paint for less than £10) but i would have much preferred it to stay open instead.

I can only give 5 stars to woolies memory any less would feel unfair.

Finally RIP Woolies and good luck everyone out there who has lost their jobs.

Summary: A store that will be missed!
