End of an era with Woolies’ final sale
EVERYTHING must go – and it certainly is as Woolworths in Huddersfield reaches the end of the line.
Fixtures and fittings including filing cabinets and shelves were on sale at the Victoria Lane store, which will close its doors for good on January 5.
And they were being snapped up.
Father and son Azam and Ali Shah took advantage of the closing down sale yesterday to buy a carful of shelving for their corner shop on Railway Street in Brighouse.
Ali said: “We heard a few days ago that they were selling shelves so we decided to buy some for our shop.
“I used to come to Woolworths when I was a kid and I thought it was a very good store. I’m going to miss it.”
