Woolworths to exit Masters hardware venture

[Dave70]

why the feck would i go there

shit

and don't forget the shit service (que to the fuckin back of the store cause their too tight to have another checkout, no one to help lift if items are heavy or mrs is pregnant, better things to do in life!!!)

can't even get out of our local if it's busy, have to wait until check out is clear as there is no room to get past

will never go back there again

edit: in doors are one way, couldn't get out, would hate to see if the joint caught on fire

(In case of fire) Just grab a Workzone cordless drill and hurl it through the window.

How did this become an Aldi thread? Most Aldi haters are people who have been there once, just dont get the place as it's outside their Colesworths mind conditioning that most Australians have been subject to for the last 70 years.

I always get fast service, they have a 2 past the belt policy, opening a checkout when there's 2 past the end of the long belt and now have public address in all their stores "dear customers we are opening register #5" etc. Try getting through Colesworths so called express lane where nearly everyone in front of you wants cancer sticks. Coles at Casino removed their express lane and said that the self serves were now the express lane.
I emailed Coles, the manager was "spoken to" and the express lane is now back up again.

Anyway the local rag here says that the Masters at Lismore is being converted into a mini mall with Anaconda etc etc inside, as posted above, as it's been bought by that conglomerate. It's a sure thing, opening 2017 and a nearby "home base" type shopping centre proposal has been cancelled.

I go there for the Reggae Reggae Caribbean bbq sauce once a year.

Ya mon. It be how I lively up my sausages. The X-hot packs a punch too.

Aldi business model going swimmingly whereas Masters business model she's tits up.

Ahh, the good ol' Echo

Reggae Regggae is now stocked by Woolworths all year round!

 

[Bribie G]

Also Cock sauce. woot.

 

[sp0rk]

I've made a trip to visit family in Turramurra before JUST so I could go to the Macquarie Centre and stock up on Cock Sauce at the Asian grocer
Will probably keep going there tho, they've got a million different types of mi goreng/instant noodles for making epic ramen bowls

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

Will you be having a fair shake or suck of that sauce bottle?

 

[Bribie G]

I'll be driving past Masters today, will report.

BTW Woolies now stock Cock sauce.

Porque no los dos?

Article about the local Masters, fire sale due to start this weekend. Home Consortium has bought the sites and are in negotiations with companies including Anaconda, JB Hi-Fi, Super Amart, BBQs Galore and Dan Murphys to take over the sites.

"Everything from paint, timber, barbecues, vacuum cleaners and all other Masters stock, worth between $600 million and $700 million, will be sold off in a fire sale which is expected to start this week, a Woolworths spokesman said.
Woolworths expects to net $500 million from the discount sale."

Thats a pretty poor 'discount rate' for a fire sale

Virtually everything I eat gets a generous squirt of cock sauce.

Is 600-700M the retail or wholesale value?

A picture tells a thousand words.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

it's so good. So is the Thai knockoff called Madame Wong's. It's loaded with garlic & MSG.

Presumably that would be the retail value.

All I'm thinking is 'Cheap copper tube' at the closing the doors sale.
