Thread Name: BS: All (UK) Woolworths stores to close
Subject: RE: BS: All Woolworths stores to close
In the US, our five-and-dimes across the nation -- Ben Franklin Stores,Butler Brothers, W.T. Grant, Kresge's, Kress Stores, McCrory Stores, J.J. Newberry, TG&Y, McLellan's, H.L. Green, G.C. Murphy, Woolworth's, Walton's Five and Dime, and what-have-you--have been suffering a similar fate over the last thirty years. Kresge's and Walton's went on to become mega-retailers Kmart and Wal-Mart. We still have a few chains of what are now called "Dollar Stores". That's inflation for you.
