Less 'back from the dead' and more zombie..... That is far from living: really its a namestyle to add to their portfolio of other trading names.....

An act of corporate taxidermy, it would be a good thing if it benefitted some of the ex employees but I am fairly certain it wont, just the purchase of the Name and brand image, shrewd if cynical move I suppose taking advantage of the nostalgia, the good will and the millions spent on advertising by the proper Woolworths for very little money, I suppose everyone needs to make a living.
