Woolworths

No Comments

I am posting today, as it was Woolworth’s last day countrywide. Some stores close Saturday with the rest closing today. I am not ashamed to admit it…I think I am going to miss Woolies!

Admittedly, you can buy everything they sell (and more) in Tesco or online due to the fact they didn’t have a unique selling point. And yes…the adverts were one of the most annoying adverts I have seen, but yes, I will miss them!

Ah, the Irony!
I just decided to visit the Woolworth’s website, and the message is shown below. I found it slightly Ironic

Bognor Store
I was wandering through Bognor high street on Saturday, and saw the following sign in Woolworth’s. It shows, how pissed off some of the staff really are! (It is not a real sign, but written on the back of a notice!)

Coming Soon!

The Future
Where will this recession crisis leave our high street. It is no doubt that other chains will go into administration, and I can see the following companies having trouble in 2009.

  • Argos
  • B&Q
  • Boots
  • Borders
  • British Home Stores
  • Burtons
  • Clinton Cards
  • Currys, Dixons, Comet and PC World
  • Debenhams
  • DFS
  • HMV
  • Homebase
  • Jessops
  • JJB Sports
  • Marks and Spencer
  • Millets
  • Sainsburys
  • The Works
  • Thorntons
  • Waterstones
  • WHSmith

This is based purely on prediction without me looking at sales statistics etc.

Take Care…
