While the last few years had brought an unfortunate end for a number of retail giants, there is one which, 14 years on, still cuts deep…Woolworths.
For younger people out there, they’ll probably hear people mid-20s upwards talk about Woolies and think to themselves 'what is this magical land of which they speak?' while for those old enough to remember its wonder, the very mention of its name, will fill your heart with joy.
There was great sadness across the land when it was announced in 2008 that Woolworths would be closing all its branches and, while the closing down sales offered some amazing bargains, regular shoppers would gladly return them all to have Woolies back.
