Is Woolworth exceptional in something?
Woolworth does not conceal high ambitions about expansion to our Czech meadows and groves. Ronald Rissel, a spokesman for Woolworth GmbH, promises that more than 90 percent of the assortment are their own brands. Notoriously known similar chains such as Kik, Pepco and Action will be added to our market in our market.
Assortment
As far as the range is concerned, we can expect 18,000 products from the field of household needs, textiles, equipment for garden and sports goods. Animal lovers will also find it, because there will also be breeding needs and let’s not forget the little ones – there will be a new store where parents can buy their favorite toys.
History
With our German neighbors, Woolworth is well known for more than 700 shops in more than eighty kilometers of country. The original Woolworth, however, comes from the USA, where it was founded 146 years ago by entrepreneur Frank Winfield Woolworth, according to which the company bears the name to this day.
At that time, he captivated the market with an unconventional approach, when he exhibited all the goods on the shelves, which at that time was unprecedented, because all the shops made the way of placing the goods in the shelves and then showed them to customers when they showed the product to see the product (and buy). Another aggressive way was in price policy – all goods had only two price tags, either it could be bought for 5 cents or for 10.
The brand expanded to Germany in 1927, when it opened the whole department store in Berlin.
The crash of the Great King
Even in 1979, Woolworth reigned worldwide in the field of companies with commercial houses, but less than 20 years later he went bankrupt on the US market and his department stores finally closed. The German offshoot after the collapse and insolvency proceedings in America became independent and took over the reins that are held in their hands to this day.
