7 amazing reactions to the '2020-saving' news that Woolworths is apparently returning - My London

How would you feel if you heard Woolworths was returning to our high streets?

Since good news has been thin on the ground in 2020, this could well be the news everyone's been waiting for.

Woolworths has apparently announced it will be returning in 2021, opening three trial stores at first.

The chain went bust during the credit crunch, and apparently its return will only be physical as Very own the rights to the website.

A Twitter account claiming to represent Woolworths tweeted: "Here to save 2020! Woolworths is coming back to your high street, as a physical store!

"A couple of legal things to get sorted, but we’re full steam ahead at Woolworths HQ."

It added: "Our trial stores will open in 2021.

"Very own the online Woolsworths, so we will be retail only.

"Before we launch we have a few legal contracts to sign, but we’re super excited!"

However, this hasn't been confirmed, although we are waiting with baited breath to find out.

2. The mint creams fan

"Brilliant news! ... Something we all recognize and love.. I use to buy my grandmother her mint creams and birthday items from Woolworths."

3. The optimist

"Text books in 10yrs time: Welcome to 2020, the year where everyone stayed home, everything went to s***, but don’t worry... Woolworths came back."

4. The cheapskate

"Woolworths coming back sounds good, but just imagine the pick n mix prices after inflation."

5. The former staff member

"I had my first job in Woolworths, I’m not sure how I feel about it coming back, it won’t be like the good ole days. Apart from the uniform!"

6. The Pick n Mix lover

"Woolworths coming back would be great, but I refuse to believe it until I’m buying a bag of pick n mix the size of my head (which in these coronavirus times doesn’t exactly seem like a valid proposal)."
