What's the tell tale sign, that your local branch, won't be there in a months time.

Having just returned from mine, I couldn't help but notice there were no black wine gums, in the pick n mix.
I suppose they have already been diverted away from general sale for a higher price on the black (no pun intended), market.

The staff have faces so glum you would think they are really looking forward to Easter.

Yaeah was like that yesterday when wen't to look for something.

Been like that since Wednesday, found it quite funny how amateur it looks.

I wonder how long the 'essential maintenance' will take .

Cheap Children's Toys From Woolworths.co.uk Online Shop

We bought a 12' trampoline from Woolworth Online two years ago. Good price - good product. This is a company that have been mismanaged into administration - but no shortage of people lining up to buy it.

All their suppliers are pulling the plugs on the contracts to stuff like newspapers sweets etc are not being supplied to them until they get out of administration

They are institutionally racist and that is one of the main reasons why they face liquidation.

Where are all those chavs going to steal from now?

I think their main problem is that they sell a bit of everything, but most of the items are cheaper elsewhere. I noticed that they are selling an extension lead with a surge protector for £16.99 when in Morrisons they are two for £3.

Isn't even historically connected apparently. Started as the name Wallworths or something as a cheeky play on the name of the other company, then decided to register it with the same spelling and got away with it.

Interesting little story. All because of a dare!

Woolworths opened its first store, the Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement, in the old Imperial Arcade in Pitt Street, Sydney, on 5 December 1924. Its nominal capital was just £25,000 and although 15,000 shares were offered to the public, only 11,707 shares were subscribed for by 29 people, including the five founders – Percy Christmas, Stanley Chatterton, Cecil Scott Waine, George Creed and Ernest Williams.

The name on the draft prospectus drawn up by Cecil Scott Waine was "Wallworths Bazaar" – a play on the F.W. Woolworth name (the owner of the Woolworth's chain in the United States and United Kingdom). However, according to Ernest Robert Williams, Percy Christmas dared him to register the name Woolworths instead, which he succeeded in doing after finding out the name was available for use in New South Wales.

Accordingly, Woolworths Ltd in Australia has no connection with the F.W. Woolworth Company in the United States.

I find it hard to believe that a company who can supply pick n mix fried eggs, to the standard tha woolies did, yesterday, is facing liquidation.

It is, and it has entirely rebranded just this month. All stores renovated and they got a new logo
