Who is missing Woolworths at Christmas ?

[FussPotMum]

I might be showing my age as I am 38 but I really miss Woolworths especially at Christmas time.

Anyone else feel the same?

I could buy the childrens clothes, presents for aunties, nick nacks for teachers etc.....great all rounder really........

The only time ive missed woolworths was when I'd forgotten to buy easter eggs and they would of been the ideal place, near to my work, where I could of picked some up from.

I miss Woolies every day

I just miss Woolies - not just at Christmas .

Woolworths is for life not just Christmas

Another 38 year old missing Woolworths. Going online is just not the same

I too miss Woolies! I often think of things I need and automatically think I'll pop into Woolworths on my way home, then I remember...:(

I miss it too!

especially my staff discount

I miss Woolworths and so do my DDs. DD1 cried when they shut down. She was 7 and had known Woolies all her life.

I miss Woolies :(

NOt me because I have Wellworths or as it is now known, Wellchester, opened by the manager of the Woolworth's when it closed down and does exactly the same thing.

i miss it too, i used to buy all my cd's and dvd's from them. they are still online as far as i know though.

Wilko is kind of the new Woolies round here, but not quite the same.

I miss Woolies a lot. Ladybird clothes, Chad Valley toys, lovely stationery....so sad it's all gone. Like, properly gutted. I really need to have a word with myself.

I miss woollies everytime I go into town as its usually for a present for someone and woolworths would have been the perfect place to get it!

But it's still avaliable online

No browsing round the shops, but there again, no queues!

I've paid £9 for big Dairy Milks from Superdrug. Come back Woolies!

Dh was just saying yesterday how christmas shopping is not the same with out woolworths , they always had great offers, good decorations, 3 for 2's and bargain toys.

I miss woolies for the Pick n Mix.

Its just not the same in Wilko.

It was losing a friend
I knew all the staff on a first name basis,they knew my dcs' names,what they liked,and would put aside new things for them when they came in. It was literally on my doorstep,so my Chrstmas shopping was so easy!
School uniforms...batteries....decorating,the lot.
It's now an Iceland..and even now when I walk past...I look in and say "that's where the sweets was,that's where the tills were"

God I miss it.

It was such a handy shop for cards, sweets, wrapping paper and small gifts for teachers, neighbours etc. I really miss it, too.

REALLY??? You must have had much fancier Woolies than our local one! Dirty, dusty, nothing had price stickers on.

I do miss the easter eggs but that is about it!

fivegomad- we pop into Wellchester when dd2 has hospital appointments (most weeks), its almost as good as wollies but doesn't have the great toy offers that wollies had , still has good pick and mix though .

Woolworths online is not the same - another company bought the name only. I really miss Woolies, shed a tear when it went under as I used to work in their head office and know the people loved the place
