WellWorths... Was the pick n mix well worth the money?

Reading an article on a woolworths store reopening as Wellworths, I looked at the headline "Pick 'n' Mix is back as Woolies store reopens as Wellworths" at that moment a single thought crossed my mind. How gutted must the person who paid over £14, 500 for what they thought was the LAST bag of woolworths pick and mix!? I know. The store has changed its name, but the sweets are still the same. The shop is "identical" inside, and everyone knows it used to be woolworths! I know it is really cruel but it made me laugh. It was done for a good cause and everything, it is just really funny. Then again, it wasn't far off what the store ACTUALLY charged for their pick n mix was it!
Despite that little kick in the teeth, the second thought was how good the manager of the new store was she hired back all twenty two of the staff who lost their jobs when woolworths closed down. It this time of recession and 'doom and gloom' stories like this are quite uplifting. There is always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how dim it may be.
Everyone was quite upset when woolworths went, and now there is this identical store with the good old pick n mix and toys! Great! Good luck to it!
