The Woolworth's store in Dorchester that closed and then reopened as Wellworths is getting ready for the busy Xmas period.
Claire Robertson, the manageress who bought over the failing branch remains upbeat and confident about the future.
She is the epitome of the little person who refuses to let a dream die. Whether or not she can keep her unique Wellworth's store alive in such hard fiscal times is another matter.
Indeed many Woolworth's employees are struggling to find work. Woolworth's was not only the most sentimental casualty of the recession, but it left the most people unemployed.
Fingers crossed that Claire and her team (including 20 former Woolies veterans) can survive and prosper.
