F. W. Woolworth department stores?
It became Foot Locker. For real lol. Look it up!
errrr... no.
On July 17, 1997, Woolworth's closed its remaining department stores in the U.S. and changed its corporate name to Venator.
In 1999, Venator moved out of the Woolworth building in New York City to offices on 34th Street. On October 20, 2001, the company changed names again; this time, it took the name of its top retail performer and became Foot Locker, Inc. Foot Locker stores chiefly sell athletic clothing and footwear.
Err no... Woolworths went into receivership here owing billions. It is still trading but not bricks and mortar. It became an online entity not Foot Locker in other parts of the globe it is still trading on the high street. It sold many of it's tangible assets to a number of companies across the globe but not the name.. Those were sold to Shop Direct after the 2008 collapse. A good friend of mine works high up on their board to this day. Similar situations have occurred with other Woolworth holdings in other countries. That is what happened to Woolworths department stores, they still exist. If you actually read the link you posted you would have been able to work this out. What you are eluding to is what happened to one part of the Woolworth brand.
You may find this hard to believe but there is a world outside of your town that is even bigger than your country.
But I don't give a shit about the small British portion of the company lol. It's an American-based company and Henry and I live in 'Murika so obviously I said what happened to it in America.
UK'ers get so butthurt and nationalistic when they feel slighted in any way. It's cute, and jolly good!
Dont mix facts with patriotism...even if its patriotism for an American company lol
