Review of Woolworths Department Store

When I was a little kid, I used to love going to Woolworth’s – for me, it was the pinnacle of the shopping experience. How times change! Woolworth’s is hell on earth for everyone concerned – adults, kids and the staff themselves. It’s one huge big confused mess of a store with products spilling out into the aisle, crammed in as tightly as possible and topped off with a unique ‘smell’ which I will describe ...
...pull Woolies up on is variety. They’ve got Cd’s, games, videos, kids clothes, gardening stuff, sweets, stationary, kitchenware, books, toys, magazines and newspapers. In fact, it’s got the lot. And most of it is pretty reasonably priced – if you pick your bargains, you can save a fortune and they do have a local price guarantee which means you can’t be undercut anywhere else. However, it is this wide variety that is ...

Review of Woolworths Department Store

Woolworths is one of the stores I remember going into back in 1969 at the age of six for my parents to buy me a birthday present. Since then , they relocated the store into the Mander Centre which was up until ten years ago the biggest in Europe. They downsized the premesis massivly though, having lost two floors to Boots and squeezing everything into the one floor. I spoke to a member of staff on this issue who told me that Woolworths had the same ...
...made good business sense. Woolworths used to be a cramped, poorly lit store with a range of budget products. As a result, I went elsewhere but now the store has had it's first major refit in ten years, it has experienced a dramatic improvement. The lighting, product range,accessibility and staff levels have been changed out of all proportion- a very big thumbs up on this occasion. Anyway, back to the store. The Wolverhampton Store is situated ...

Review of Woolworths Department Store

...that the whole concept of Woolworths has somehow been stuck in a time warp of about 20 years ago. They, on the face of it, offer a huge range of goods for sale. However,when you start to look a little deeper, I think you will find that there range is very limited. The store tries to cram in Music and videos,computer games, toys, stationary, children clothing, confectionery, garden equipment and general hardware goods.There are probably other items ...
...I would hate to see Woolworths go from the High Street but there again perhaps the problem is that the High Street has changed in the last 20 years and Woolworths have failed to change with it. I think the shops are unappealing and the staff within them are not of the highest quality. I would suggest that they focus their marketing on fewer ranges but become experts in whatever they deal in. ...

Review of Woolworths Department Store

We have quite a big ‘Woolworths’ near our house, and because of that I think it’s such a good high street shop. It has a huge variety of things in stock, I was quite surprised to find they even sold baby clothes. The shops are very well organised, with all the music section in one place, the sweets and magazines in one area, the baby clothes and items at the back, the gifts/presents in another area. The reason I like shopping at ...
...places which just cramp things together, and more that two people can’t be walking in the same direction. They have an excellent music section, with all the latest releases. It’s just like ‘Our Price’, and it sells music accessories like headphones and other music things like CD players, walkman, so you can buy whatever you want in music, at ‘Woolworth’s’. They also sell all the latest computer games, for ...

Review of Woolworths Department Store

...this year I would suggest Woolworths as your first port of call. Although offers vary slightly from store to store generally they have bargains such as bare rooted apple trees for £7.99 .Likewise Pears and peaches too up to £9.99. I bought a hardy grape vine ( blanc sauvigon) for £2.99 in good health too what a bargain. After over twenty years in the gardening industry believe me when I say this is very good value indeed. I know bare rooted trees ...
...container grown counterparts but these prices are still cheaper than your average garden centre. They charge around £15 to £ 20 pounds for trees in containers and although these are established they are in my view overpriced.Not only that some of them have moss growing in the pots , canker on the stems and frankly for twenty quid my advice is to walk away. Also available in Woolies are Mock Orange , for £ 1.99 ,Rhubarb at £2.99 Spirea , bulbs and ...
