Woolworths??

Waits patiently to hear news of the new Campbeltown Tesco Metro.

What?

[Martin]

What?

Takes deep breath, there's already a Tesco there isn't there ? They'd put one on every corner if they could, wouldn't they ? Having two in close proximity......oh, never mind.

Martin I wasn't sure what you meant either. We don't have a Tesco supermarket, it is a metro here in Campbeltown already and lacks a great deal of items that Tesco stock in their Supermarkets.

I personally would welcome a decent electrical shop or even an Argos.

I am sorry, having been in your Tesco and other Metro Tesco's I thought yours was larger than that. My mistake.

If it closes down and no buyers take it over, I hope they knock it down, it has to be the worst looking building on main street.

I sincerely hope that`s what happens. I`ve been saying that it should be knocked down since I moved to the town 5 years ago - a complete monstrosity of a building, totally out of character with the surrounding buildings. Maybe they could strip it down and rebuild it in Cumbernauld town centre - it would fit in nicely there!

Got to agree. Must be the ugliest construction in the town. Dont think that it will be knocked down though. I would have thought it would be big enough for a couple of outlets to use.

I saw pictures of what was where woolies is now years ago.

If that makes sence?

It doesn't fit in with anything else in town..
Exept from the swimming pool, thats a bit wierd but anyway.

I must admit, as a holidaymaker, not a resident, the Woolworths building in Campbeltown does leave a lot to be desired. I wonder how the powers that be came to the conclusion that it would "fit in"?

[UP THE ROAD]

More to the point--where are people going to shop now as Woolworths was always worth a visit-looks like more they will save up and go trips to Glasgow or other Cities to get value and variety for money-not to mention that there will be more folk unemployed in Campbeltown. A Sorry state of affairs

All the woolies stores will be a lot more ugly when they are lying empty for years to come .All the small towns all over the place especially in Scotland will have a hard job finding anyone to take them over .

Thats the blunder of Woolies.

Saw signs in window last night saying "CLOSING DOWN SALE"!! :(

There could be a problem getting a buyer for the local Woolies, as I believe they didn't actually own the shop but leased it.

Woolies at Braehead Shopping Centre has gone, premises taken over by new outlet. The Argyll street store in Glasgow yesterday has a big clearance sale on.

I think you will find that Woolworths own all their stores ,even if they are leased from a holding company which Woolworths own as well .Their biggest problem will be selling the stores which i am led to believe are 70%of their assets .
