Woolies in administration - A lesson for us all?
For decades 'Woolies' i.e. Woolworths have been on just about every high street in the UK, and have been part of the culture. They are regarded warmly.
Now it appears they are going into administration, i.e. bankrupt.

Could this be taken as a massive example of trying to be all things to all people. I'm as guilty as the next person in trying to cover everyones needs with my sites, I don't want to miss a sale. But it would appear this approach just confuses people.

Is this a lesson to abandon 'general stores' and concentrate on specific demands. It's obviously a lot easier to do so on the 'net' rather than 'bricks and mortar' stores.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
