A chain of Woolworths-like stores, one of the U.K.’s oldest retailers, is set to open next month under the name Alworths. The new brand is lead by former Woolworths head of stores and concessions Andy Latham, who is launching the project alone.
According to the Independent, three former Woolworths sites, including Didcot in Oxfordshire, Wokingham in Berkshire, and Faversham in Kent, are being considered as the viable locations for the new chain, which may include clothing as well as other general merchandise.
