I bought some pick n mix in Woolworths this week and it was reduced. I felt a bit sad. Woolworths is a major British company which has provided a range of consumer goods for many generations. My local Woolworths is in Southbourne in Bournemouth and is about a 3 minute walk from me. My old local Woolworths was the one on Main Street, Bangor, Northern Ireland and the one in the Square at Newtownards. I’ve shopped quite a lot in Woolworths over the years. Its always been just a good shop. Sadly in this current credit crunch and recession, Woolworths was in massive debt and went into administration. By 5th January 2009 ALL 807 UK Woolworths stores will close their doors for good. It is indeed a sad end of the road to a shop which meant a lot to a lot of people.
I’m not going to guess or give a reason for the decline, but the ongoing “credit crunch” coupled with the fact that Woolworths sells stuff which has more recently been available at Tesco or Asda, meaning customers may just do all their shopping at one shop and avoid Woolworths. There are many reasons for the sad demise and failure of the brand in the end, but I bid it a fond and sad farewell. From the Lego sets I used to buy there, to the CD singles section (I bought Stereotypes by Blur in Woolworths in 1996) to the pick and mix and the mini cans of pop such as Dr. Pepper I’ll keep my memories. While walking through Southbourne main street this week I took some photos of Woolworths for the memory. I’m working quite a lot so I may never visit Woolworths again, meaning the pick and mix I bought on Christmas Eve 2008 was my last ever purchase at Woolworths. Sad times, eh?
I wonder if any new shop will fill the void left over by that famous red and white brand of Woolworths? In 2009 I’ll walk past where the Woolworths once stood and ponder emptily what might’ve been for the brand. They have my support if they ever come back or are saved by any last ditch bids. Plus the Woolworths brand kind of lives on in Australia in the form of a supermarket. Perhaps I’ll visit Australia and buy something in their Woolworths.
I hope you all have some memories of Woolworths, interesting photo I’ve included on here shows the fact that the Woolworths website wasn’t even available. 2008 – the year that the Woolworths dream ended. Crying into my Earl Grey tea at the thought of it…

When your local Woolworths will close:
The first will be shut down just after Christmas on December 27, the last on January 5, 2009.
It follows the failure to find a buyer for the business. The entire workforce of 27,000 are losing their jobs.

WOOLWORTHS TRIBUTE:
Howdy, Great Job here on *DONTSTOPLIVING NET* Open Web. You’ve outdone yourself this time by writing on the topic of A British Institution Goes Bust Farewell Woolworths Ill Miss You. Thanks for this great post. Off to spreading the word about it.
Hi Yardley, Thanks for the comment and I am extremely sorry for the huge delay in replying to you. I have been going through problems with depression and wasn’t checking the comments or messages that much. Stay safe. Jonny
