Woolworths Reviews

I see many dooyooers are reviewing Woolworths now we are on the brink of saying goodbye to this well-known store. I have to admit to being surprised Woolworths will be one of the casualties of the credit crunch, especially as it's such a huge company, but time ticks on and with the arrival of a variety of online stores selling CDs and DVDs for ...  Read the complete review

When I heard about Woolworths demise the other day I was not surprised. I have just popped in to Woolies today to buy some spare light bulbs for our Christmas decorations and was shocked to see the store so busy. I admit I popped in to see if there were any amazing sales and I am guessing everyone else did the same. I have always ...  Read the complete review

My thrupence earned from doing various chores for friends neighbours and family, knew not it's destination as it entered it resting place on my palm.

I feel really sad that we may lose all our good old Woolworths stores as we know them - the high street just won't be the same without . I'll also miss their super Christmas TV adverts (to the music of Winter Wonderland) & their bright & cheerful red & white carrier bags Woolworths have been ...  Read the complete review

I too have moist eyes at the thought of a world without our beloved Woolies. It will be sad to see such a great traditional store going down the pan (mmm that's an interesting expression - I wonder where it comes from...). There was something warm and comforting about a Woolworths store like a well worn slipper. A place with a wide range of ...  Read the complete review

When I heard Woolworths was going into administration I was shocked. I remember the days when Woolworths were seen up every high street big and small. Every city and town had a Woolworths store and even some villlages had a store. We have also heard this week that MFI and PC World are going into administration and I can't believe it. we have heard ...  Read the complete review

My initial reaction to the new of Woolies going into administration was one of a little sadness and disappointment, this is a shop I have grown up with, one which holds quite a lot of memories for me.

I have just found out that Woolworths have announced that they are going into administration. This news has actually made me quite sad, as I love shopping there. It's not an easy time when a large retail shop closes, but its going to be even harder at the moment with it being so close to Christmas. -----What is ...  Read the complete review

I'm sure we've all heard that the Woolworths is shutting down. It's seemingly going into administration and there is huge debts outstanding, which is hard to understand how such large debts can be built up. I remember having a Woolworths in my home town for years and they really are a shop that has loads of different things. I usually ...  Read the complete review

When i heard Woolworths were going into administration I was pretty sad actually! I guess in some ways it is a funny old shop but i find it comforting to know that there is usually one in every High Street and it sells such a wide variety of items that you know you can usually find what you want in there. About 20 years ago when I had ...  Read the complete review

Woolworths has been a very well known and popular retailer on the high street for nearly 100 years. You may heard on the news that it has gone into administration. This basically means that it does not know what to do and the owners and managers have just basically given up. Earlier in the week the retailer was up for sale for just £1! But ...  Read the complete review

I was shocked to hear that Woolworths has gone into administration on the news yesterday. Even though there has been so much coverage about the credit crunch and the impact on the retail sector and consumer confidence, I never imagined that a company with the heritage of Woolworths would be reduced to this. Woolworths has been on ...  Read the complete review

Just a word about Woolworths. You know I was horrified when I turned on the news last night and heard about the demise of Woolworths. With stores as far west as Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis and as far north as Lerwick in the Shetlands Woolworths has been our history for circa 100 years. The first store opened in Liverpool in 1909 and ...  Read the complete review

I couldn't believe the news this morning, that Woolies has gone into administration. I just hope that they work out a way to save the company, maybe restructure it in some way, so that it does not disappear from our High Street. Before I continue with my ideas for how they can survive, a little bit about my Woolies experience. As a kid, ...  Read the complete review

Oh firstly, let me know if there is anyone whose reading this review has never been to Woolworths. I drag you to the store someday. Woolworths is just down the road and its the only store in our area where you and get all the general items. In last 5 years, I have bought more products than I could remember. Most of the time ...  Read the complete review

I suppose Woolworth's is considered old-fashioned these days but it's still a store I like. I have two in villages nearby. One is very old and run down and looks permanently on the verge of closing down completely but the staff are lovely and I can always find some real bargains, even if I have to rummage about. A brand new branch of ...  Read the complete review

Woolworths, once one of my favourites, looks more and more like a jumble sale these days. With the opening of their outlet store in my local branch taking up a third of the top floor selling junk that nobody wants basically. You may find a bargain if you can be bothered to scour the shelves and can actually see a price fitting the ...  Read the complete review

I frequently shop in the woolworths in Camden for a variety of things, cards, wrapping paper, dvds, stationary and chocolate, so I just wanted to write a quick review of my experience there. This isn't the best stocked woolworths around. Generally all of the shelves are full but in terms of choice it doesn't really compare to some of ...  Read the complete review
