Weren't Woolies just about to build or open as hop in Calne? By the old kwik save site? Bloody typical that is, I expect that'll stay empty for years now, or left half built. Poor old Caln-ites.

Well the present landlords looking to leave, it's making no money and they're looking for someone to take it on, but as of yet no interest. Rumour is it'll close, not sure when though. You'll have to pop up the Talbot.

Woolies problem, well in my opinion - what do they sell? OK you can get toys, and CDs , erm, childrens clothes and er, papers, sweets and stuff.
What makes you think -oooh Woolies is the place to go for that rather than any other of the hundred shops that do similar things with a bigger range or better prices?
It's sad for sure.

I might do a Diamandis - buy it for a £1 and asset strip it.
They dont have any Sam. Sold all the buildings and lease them back....thats what has fucked em. Like STFC and the Council... |

Spoke to one of the Trottmans in the shop yesterday......Shop still makes a good profit...no rent for the shack! Somebody has agreed to buy the land and buildings and build new shops and flats but he reckons they wont now the credit crunch has bit. That fruit shop in the precinct has closed as well.... |

Oh yeah I forgot about the Woolies in Calne - Oh my god I walked through the precsinked (sp) for the first time in years the other night - scary stuff! Trotmans is an insitution - I always used to go in there with my Grampy!
Oh Jan I saw some of your lot in the Kings a couple of Sats ago - Christ like was to quote Dave Byrne "like a mourge"

My local effort was jam packed today with vultures.
Smells like another salad cream scandal to me.

woolies problem is pretty much the same as countless others, the death of the high street. Main guilty party to this is tescos.

Daughter works in Swindon Woolies, despite all the promises a lot of them never got their pay into the bank today! They reckon it is a clerical error, affecting an awful lot of people. Suspicious I think.
