    In Devon/Cornwall on holiday, both Newquay and Dawlish empty. Was in Truro last Saturday and was opening day for Poundland (Kirk from Corrie was there opening the store)

    They have recently announced that the rear part of our old Woolies(next to M&S) in Fareham is to be a Next- opening by Christmas and that ' several large high st retailers' are interested in the front section, opposite Wilko and T K Maxx.
    I'm pleased it's going to be Next as it's the main store that's been missing from the shopping centre

    Woolies in West Wickham is going to be a Carpetright and it is right opposite another carpet shop so I cannot understand why as we are not a main town?

    Our town centre is dead without Woolies. It's going to be an Iceland. You can't have a look around Iceland like you can have a browse round Woolies. :( Ours was always busy.

    Just found out that our Clevedon branch is being turned into a "Proper Job" DIY store.

    In this town, I give it a year before that closes too.

    My local Woolies in Exeter is still empty. No plans to turn it into anything at the moment. It just stands there looking sorry for itself....

    Whats wrong with the poundshop next door to it?

    referring to the grimsby store that poundshop is crap-better than the smaller one but nowhere as good as a poundland.i too agree it should be a home bargains as whenever i go over to Hull i stock up big time in there
  • MK woolies is going to be TKmaxx :( They have a big store in Bletchley already so would've been nice for something else to go there...........like Primark!! now that would make me happy :) ho hum

    Just like our ghost town.
