Great - more boarded up shops0

One down... how many more to go.
Anybody know their financial position?
They weren't looking overly well-placed last November.
If they survive as a group will depend partly on their Xmas turnover/margins0 -
The Woolworths in Coney Street is said to be taken over by Boots, I assume they'll shut their current store and move across the road. The old Boots store would then be perfect for, say, a Primark????!
Do we really need a Wilkos? there's one in Selby and we do have Boyes.odi et amo0 -

it's all over the news today so if there is anything cheap itn the york store, i dare say it wont be for long :j and, i must say it's a little strange as it's probably just about the best store location in york (adjacent to one of the main feeder roads to probably the busiest shopping road in york). wonder what'll go there next... probably a primark as others have said0

I suspect that Woolworths time has come and gone. It started with a "pile em high, sell em cheap" approach but loads of others do that now. I think it's lost its identity - what's it for now? I can't think of anything I would only go to Woolworths for, or would go there first; not any more.
Another part of our shopping history is (I suspect) on the way out.
(Prediction: next to go, eventually, WH Smith)0
