    My Woolies is Wellworths! Fact is, the Dorchester store constantly turned a profit. The town has no pound shops at all, no huge out-of-town superstores, nothing like Wilkinsons - there is no competition. I think it's going to work incredibly well. I worked in that store for four years, and it's great to see all my old colleagues still working together and being on the TV!

    Apparently Upminster is becoming a Wilkinsons, seen no hard evidence of this though to be honest.

    Anyone know about Romford, Hornchurch or Lakeside Shopping Centre?

    Walton and East Molesey are apparently going to be carpet stores. IMO not what either town really needs - would love a Home Bargains in Walton!

    Very strangely for Luton we got a good deal! Our tatty M&S relocated to the old Woolies store, and is now on 3 floors! Costing me a fortune in two can dine for £10 meal deals though!:j:j

    Nothing seems to be happening at the old Woolies in Stockport, there was a rumour that it may become a Primark but I would have thought it a bit too small for that, I am hoping it will be a Wilkinsons!

    I've heard primark too.

    Well, not seen a report on the on in Lewisham- would love to know but am already sensing its ....another pound store. I cannot actually count the amount of sports shops (with year long sales of 2 year old shoes), cheap tacky clothes stores, 99p or pound stores in Lewisham, there is a TK Maxx of a decent size but the rest of it really needs a huge overhall. HUGE overhall-but never fails to amaze me at just how much more downhill it can get!

    Please someone- tell me I am wrong and they have put a decent store there!

    There's already M&S, BHS, Sainsbury's, WHSmith, Next, Boots, Argos - what decent store are you hoping for?

    We also have a huge ex- Lee Longlands Regency style building

    Anyone remember their TV commercials, "Leave it to Lee Longlands"?
