They were a kids paradise! Some of my memories:
The whole back wall was floor to ceiling of every bored game you could imagine! Then rows of toys, from Barbie's, Puppy in my pockets, Polly pockets, baby all gone dolls, sea monkeys - basically all the toys you saw advertised between citv!
Then there was the mysterious 99p aisle (a load of plastic tat) which you could get lucky with on occasion!
Lots of stationery, secret diaries, 'forever friends' themed pencil cases ect. You'd be able to pick up your first 'grown up' berol pen for school here, then a fountain pen and cartridges for when you got to secondary school!
Flicking through the posters that you had no intention of buying, but would choose your favourite (usually a dolphin or Winnie the pooh graphic!)
Later on they were the go-to place for Pokémon cards and ridiculously overpriced facias for your Nokia 3310!
Actually a lot of that was 90s nostalgia lol, but Woolworths will always have a special place in my heart!.
The sauce to pasta ratio was way off!!
it was absolutely awful, freezing cold in winter, boiling hot in summer, my manager was horrible but fake nice like fat fighters Majorie from Little Britain. I have some fond memories of blasting out cd's during the evening shift when the shop was closed, we had the whole top 40 to choose from in the music section, used to play Lily Allen alright still album a lot in summer 2006, this compilation cd was a big favourite too -
