// OnBuy’s survey reveals Woolworths is the most missed retailer
// Blockbusters, Tie Rack and Comet landed at the bottom
As more retailers falls victim to harsher climate of the high street, online retailer OnBuy surveyed over 2000 British consumers to find out which shop they wish could return in time for Christmas.
The survey results revealed that Woolworths was the most missed store, cited by 58 per cent of respondents, with Toys R Us following with 18 per cent.
BHS was third on the list with six per cent.
Borders bookshop – which rivalled Waterstones and Foyles – and Jane Norman, a staple to trendy tweens back in the day, also make the top five at five per cent each.
Tie Rack gathered just two per cent, Blockbusters only one per cent and electronics retailer Comet floundered with zero per cent.
The Results:
| Rank | Shop | % |
| 1 | Woolworths | 58 |
| 2 | Toys R Us | 18 |
| 3 | BHS | 6 |
| 4 | Borders | 5 |
| 5 | Jane Norman | 5 |
| 6 | C&A | 3 |
| 7 | MFI | 2 |
| 8 | Tie Rack | 2 |
| 9 | Blockbuster | 1 |
| 10 | Comet | 0 |

Surely Wilko has replaced Woolworths already? All that is missing is the records department.
They sold tat, obviously not missed that much as they went out of business because nobody shopped there anymore!
David, shows how much you know about Woolworth. Back to school for you. Oh, Woolworth number one on High Street for that. What a coincidence.
Ignorance is so blind.
Miss Woolworths used to love looking round and buying Christmas gifts
