: "Woolworths is due to close some 99 years after the first UK store opened on 5th November 1909 in Liverpool. For many years the slogan invited you to experience the “Wonder of Woolies”. Growing up in Dublin the large Woolworth’s store on Henry Street was a wonderland with a huge retail area and a display far slicker than its Irish rivals. It was also the shop where you could find everything with a far wider range than any other Irish retailer and for a kid it had the biggest and best range of toys. It also had the best store cafeteria in Dublin, a gleaming example of modernity compared to its home grown rivals. For many it was the benchmark in retailing and with its structured training programme (when such things were uncommon) it is where many in the retail industry learnt their trade."
