Nothing lives for forever


1873: Frank W Woolworth becomes a sales assistant in New York
1879: Opens first store in Pennsylvania
1909: Opens first British general store in Liverpool and more follow across north of England
2001: Becomes a plc
2008: Has 815 stores across the UK
2008: All 27,000 permanent and temporary staff will lose their jobs unless a last-minute buyer can be found.

99 years of history and now even infrastructure is for sales. Has any store in Kabirwala history of almost one century, I will find this for you?

Big empires, large buildings, greed for money, and lust for everything (and anything), It’s our approach, “visionary” human approach. But at the end, we forget, nothing lives for forever.
