Images of a local "Currys" store closing down a few years back. It was painful!

The administraters who control control Woolworths would be breaching their obligations if they just gave everything away.

Woolies owes about £400m to debtors and the administrators job is to find a way of paying those debts off whilst finding a suitable exit strategy fro the company/share holders.

Selling stock @ £1 wouldn't clear the debts and would leave the business more or less destroyed. Indeed, it is the stock Woolies currently has that is the bargaining chip between seller and buyer of the business.

Sounds like Toys R Us staff are having a laugh...but perhaps they could one day consider cutting their own extortionate rip off prices before it is too late for them and their appalling customer service needs a boost too (bag searches, one till operator at peak times, having to queue to collect your goods after queuing to buy them, etc).

I have never heard of any store taking such drastic measures when closing down, it's far more likely that excess stock would be sold off to other companies.

Woolworth's isn't quite as close to closure as we were led to believe, there are a lot of interested buyers circling the store, so even if this happened, it wouldn't be for weeks....even months.

They could sort out their debt if they managed to sell all the penny sweets for a quid each though... great plan!

this will not happen maybe as a last case thing they would do all items 1/2 price or less but not £1 this is toys R us staff having a joke around

It happened in Knaresborough when they closed the store, my mum got a trolley full about 3 weeks ago as she bought loads of school uniform for my kids for £ each item. So maybe.

I commented to my OH that I am amazed there aren't reports of Toysrus being in trouble, their stuff is so outrageously overpriced that I can't believe people still shop in there, I completely agree with you about the bag searches and no staff on the tills too, I hate the place. :rolleyes:
