Woolworths Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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, ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I have many fond memories of shopping in Woolworths as a child and I am very sorry to see it go, mainly for these nostalgic reasons. Where I grew up - in a town called Northallerton in North Yorkshire - it was one of only two shops in the town where you could buy the latest singles (I bought most of my music there on cassette in the early 1990s!) ...  Read the complete review

As most people will already know woolworths stores have been effected by the recession that is hitting our country pritty badly and at the begining of this month closed all there stores after the liquidators sold off the stock, i for one was sad to see wooolworths go as it was a fantastic store that stocked a very large amount of items at very ...  Read the complete review

Woolworths was a store that I have very fond memories of as a child, My grandparents would treat my brother and I to a bag of pick and mix every Saturday as we took our weekly shopping trip to Hinckley, and as an adult shopping for my little boys first clothes before he was born, and as he got a little older treating him to the many toys they had ...  Read the complete review

Woolworths was one of those chains that we all took for granted, i know many people such as myself chose to go and buy an item such as a DVD or maybe something for the house from stores who seemed to brain wash us with fancy posters and advertising schemes which simply drew us in without even thinking about good old woolies that was usually only a ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

What I know about woolworths is simple:- My mother worked for them when I was a child in what was then the delicatessen counter which sadly no longer exists. They sold every type of meat and cheese product imaginable and I remember the smells and tastes of these items so well. On this counter also they had a fresh juice machine and ...  Read the complete review

Well, we've heard recently that, despite the attempts of Theo Paphitis (one of the Dragons from the tv show Dragons' Den), Woolworths is going in to Administration. Woolworths is a high street chain in the UK, where one can buy all sorts of things, including sweets and chocolates, birthday and christmas cards, cds and dvds, clothes for ...  Read the complete review

So Woolworths have gone into administration but are still currently selling their products. What went wrong? What are prices currently like? I have been into two Woolworth stores in the last couple of weeks and to be honest, one of them was offering 50% off most products. Unfortunately, it was still full of the junk that they have sold ...  Read the complete review

As you will all know by now Woolworths is nearing its end, I have read quite a lot of reviews on this subject over the last few days and I think it will be a very sad loss. Woolworths sold lots of different items like sweets, cds, dvds, kitchen ware, toys etc etc. The shop near me ( Peterborough) is a very large one that had two floors ...  Read the complete review

Well it is very unfortunate but Woolworths have gone into administration. To be honest the competition is too tough with online shopping being so cheap and easy. I have not bought much in Woolworths this year most of my shopping is now done online. A friend told me on Thursday that something was happening in Woolworths on Friday the ...  Read the complete review

This review was written after Woolworths was placed into administration. I have to say, I was not surprised when it was announced that Woolies had been put into administration. I hope that it survives on some level in the future but it really needs to answer a question before it tries - what is Woolies actually ...  Read the complete review

I heard last week Woolworths are going into administration. Woolworths have been a big name on the High St for years. It seems all the big old names are losing business due to the new upcoming shops, like Wilkinsons. Woolworths have lost their way over the years, they got stuck in a rut, and didn't think of new ways to fight off the ...  Read the complete review

With the sad news that the high street store Woolworth's has gone into liquidation I thought I'd reflect on what Woolworth has meant for me over the years. Woolworth's has been around for as long as I can remember and can be found on most high streets around the country. In fact it has been trading for 99 years, ironic that it has failed just ...  Read the complete review

I just recently heard that Woolworths is going into administration, and what a time of year for this to happen. Not only does this mean that people who normally shop there will no longer be able to, but people who work there are not going to have a job. Its hard enough to lose your job, but at Christmas it bound to be 10 times ...  Read the complete review
