LONDON - Woolworths could return to the high street under a plan by its owner, Shop Direct, to establish a chain of up to 200 stores.
The home shopping retailer closed this year leaving 800 empty premises but Shop Direct, owned by Sir Frederick and Sir David Barclay, bought the brand name and relaunched it online.
However the company is now looking to hear from possible franchisees - it has no plans to manage the stores itself.
Shop Direct also owns the Great Universal and Kays catalogue brands.
