According to Radio Lancs, Accrington Woolworth's will close this Saturday (27/12). Apparently it's one of the first to close.

Re: Woolworth's

Couldnt beleive how many stores were listed, I know the quantity had been published in numbers but seeing it as a list just showed how large the company really was

Re: Woolworth's

True, it was just seeing it as a list (that seemed to go on forever) and not just a number of stores (if you know what I mean lol)

I picked up a few bargains from woolies today though, not as mad as it had been but going round with a double pram and two youngsters made it a little more difficult lol

Things still arnt as cheap as I would expect them to be but im not complaining at getting a couple of bargains. The toy stock is very low now and to be honest I will be a bit lost for where to shop when it goes. Did shop in there quite a bit, mainly for toys and craft stuff for the kids so not sure where ill be shopping for these things from now on

it is very sad but woolies as a company have no one to blame but themselves for the mess they got in..they cannot blame everyone else for it.

as for the rest..well zavvi is going gone, officers club is gone, some card company is going,
and for 2009....from what I have been told from a friend who's a business analyst in scotland - the next chain. are struggling to pay at least 70% of the leases on their shops are losing more money as the weeks go on and are now looking at maybe clsoing certain stores in the new year & one company part of the dixons group is in the mire big time...
certainley not good news at all...and it will only get worse..

Its Peacocks now. Weatherspoons originally looked at the site but the council wouldnt allow them to press ahead with plans. The Woolies in Blackpool is quite a big one, it has a cafe aswell.

I'm not surprised. You can get any cd you want on Play.com without leaving the house.

You don't pay postage on Play.com either.
