I can remember going to Woolworths on the weekends with my parents when I was little and then they had a cafe, it is a shame that a store that has been around for 100 years has to close down and no doubt another bric-a-brac shop will open in it's place!

It was chaos. I really hope they find something else quickly. I hope that they were given at least some something from the company to tide them over until they find work ... however I sincerely doubt it.
