Unless you can order pic'n'mix online...dont even bother!

I suppose selling crap that no one needs is easier online.

ScarySquirrel · 2 Feb 2009 at 10:32

As long as it doesn't come back to the high street. It is a like brown stain on the underpants of my town.

Virdi · 2 Feb 2009 at 10:38

The company's chief executive Mark Newton-Jones said he was confident about Woolworths' future.

"This is great news and we are confident that Woolworths, as an online brand, will once again prosper and quite rightly stay at the heart of British retailing."

Since when was Woolworths ever at the heart of British retailing? :confused:

Hopefully they will be more realistic about there prices, that way they may stand a chance.

Depends on your age quite a few years ago actually.

Never ever really used Woolys anyway.

peterattheboro · 2 Feb 2009 at 10:51

They'll be the first place that sells Pick 'n' Mixs online I think

Bubo · 2 Feb 2009 at 12:50

As far as I can tell the company involved has simply bought the name "Woolworths" to go along side their portfolio of catalogue based selling businesses. It will just be another online brand selling random stuff.

So Woolies is not returning, a couple of business men are set on making a quick buck by hijacking the Woolworths brand name in effect, thats what is actualy happening :mad:

Delvis · 2 Feb 2009 at 13:05

Yeps

And selling random carp on the net instead....which is what they did anyway just instore

Jamesdavid3 · 2 Feb 2009 at 13:28

All the stuff there selling on the internet is all the stuff they have left in there warehouses, theres so much products still in there.

gillywibble · 2 Feb 2009 at 13:31

I can't think of one reason to shop at Woolworths.

WOOLWORTHS IS BACK!
