Don't you love it when the big boys bicker!

Following on from our previous comments on the Woolworths (online Shop Direct) and Alworths (set up by former Woolworths director who spectacularly fell out with his business partners on the way to opening Alworths) the story has a new twist

Shop Direct has supposedly sent a letter threatening Alworths with legal action as they believe that the shop name is too close to Woolworths. shop Direct have the right to open Woolworths shops on the high street if they wish. Alworths will open their first shop in Didcot in the next couple of weeks and plan to open 4 more before Xmas

Whats funny is that Wellworths in Dorset, which was set up by the previous Woolworths manager, is trading very successfully to the point where she is considering opening another store. Neither Shop Direct or Alworths have any issues with her and she is therefore not included in any of the bickering

We love it! Its like retails own answer to Coronation Street.
