Woolworths to close?

UserName

The company seems to be in serious difficulties, and I've heard rumours of closure over here.
Does anyone have any info or comments?

It would be a sad end of an era.

I read somewhere that Alan Sugar had bought into Woolworths, well i think it was Alan Sugar, i may be wrong on that. As far as i can remember, it was going to be the end of Woolworths as we know it but not the end of the chain. He has plans to make it bigger than ever.

Wasn't woolies in the news over the last two nights, as being up for sale for a quid?

Alan Suger did buy into them, i don't know what his plans are but i did come across this

Woolworths announced plans to sell leases on nine of its stores to Tesco

Could the Jersey one be shutting down?

Hope not. It's the cheapest place (on average) I've found in town for DVDs, Games, etc so far - paid about £9 for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crap (DOH - shouldn't have bought it at all to be fair!) on release day.

Many a Saturday spent in the music area at Woollies when I was younger.
