But will it be Woolworths or has another company bought the name?

I've said it before that I wish brand names could not be sold off once a company ceases trading

//The only thing I've heard what people miss about Woolworths is the pic 'n' mix.//
One in the bag, one in the back pocket, one in the bag, one in the back pocket.....
And then the one in the bag comes to £6.58 and you'r glad that you had a few in your back pocket

Wool-over-the-eyes more likely :-D

Plenty of Woolworths in South Africa, akin to Marks and Spencer, maybe a connection

I think it's owned by Very the catalogue company

//Very, the company that owns the local rights to the Woolworths brand, confirmed it was a hoax.

"We own the Woolworths trademark in the UK," a spokesman told BBC News.

"The Twitter account UKWoolworths is not connected to the Very group."//

From O_G's link above.

Very big in Adelaide,Australia,but is mainly a food shop,similar to Morrisons,Sainsburys,etc.

I don’t think the Australian and South African Woolies are owned by Very
