  • A Potted History of Woolworths Stores
    A potted history of Woolworths stores F.W. Woolworth was the retail phenomenon of the twentieth century - a shop for masses that sold factory made goods at rock bottom prices. It was the first brand to go global, building to more than 3,000 near identical stores across the world. At its height it generated such fabulous riches that its founder was able to build the world's tallest building and pay for it in cash. It shares were the gold standard of the exchanges in New York and London, paying dividends that others could only dream of. To become a Woolworth supplier was considered a licence to print money. Part of its magic was an ability to adapt to fit into different local communities and to 'go native', without sacrificing its uniqueness. Shoppers in the UK considered 'Woolies' as British as fish and chips, while Americans continued to call the chain 'the five and ten' more than sixty years after it dropped its fixed price formula. But, having risen like a meteor, all the way to the top, it faded in the 1990s into a peaceful retirement in the USA and Canada before falling like a stone in the UK in 2008. Woolworths UK went from normal trading in 800 stores to complete shutdown in just 41 days. In Germany the chain faced a similar fate a few months later. In both Countries the brand was soon revived on-line. There can be little doubt that if Frank Woolworth was starting out today it would be on the Internet, with its low costs and mass reach.

    20 17 Annual Report H E A L T H & W E L F A R E C O U N C I L O F L O N G I S L A N D A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO Rebecca SaNiN President/CEO Health and Welfare Council of Long Island (HWCLI) is the premiere convening, advocacy and capacity-building organization for the nonprofit sector in our region. Working with federal, state, and local partners, we advance outcomes for all of our neighbors on Long Island by changing systems, regional planning, as well as addressing symptoms such as hunger through enrollment in programs that meet basic needs. I had the privilege of becoming the new President/CEO in May of 2017—a year in which the risk of defunding health and human services is constant. This is a time when Long Island's poverty level on Long Island is the highest it’s been since 1959 and families are living with the fear of cuts to the services that allow for survival. At the same time, our region has experienced tremendous demographic shifts with over 8,000 unaccompanied children entering Long Island communities since 2014. While these challenges can at times overwhelm the institutions that serve our neighbors, they offer tremendous opportunity for coordinated planning and collaboration between the nonprofit sector, government, businesses, foundations and faith-based institutions. I have tremendous hope that this challenging time may be our region’s greatest opportunity to work collaboratively towards systemic change and to help realize the potential of each and every individual and community that calls Long Island home.
