The former high street favourite went bust seven years ago in the UK but still operates 300 stores across Germany.


And a row has broken out after staff at a branch in Dortmund decided not to bother with Christmas decorations, gifts or music this year because it is now essentially a Muslim store.

Shocked locals found out after the Christmas section, which featured decorations, gifts and and festive treats such as chocolate Father Christmases, was removed after just a few days on display.

It seems to me they want to go belly up again.  Its a  lot like Target and their restroom policies.  My wife wanted me to go to Target this afternoon and I told her I don't do Target.  If I lived in Germany, I wouldn't shop at Woolworth.

Christmas banned in the birthplace of der Pelznickel himself.

A sign of the demographic times.

Whoa, I thought Woolworth's went the way of the woolly mammoth years ago...

What's the issue here?

It's a single store who has an extremely large percentage of its customer base as Muslim. 

This is called "catering to your customer base".

Complaining about it is just the same as if CAIR would complain about how Hobby Lobby wouldn't offer Eid al-Fitr decorations in a place like Boise, Idaho.  Why?  Because there wouldn't be enough Muslims to make it profitable.

They SAY muslims are their largest customer source but I see nothing to prove it.  It may be they are in a densely populated muslim area and are just afraid, which would make sense.  In fact, at one point they did have decorations but took them down because "they weren't selling enough just like the year before."  Did they find that out after they put the decorations up for sale?  In re-reading the story, it seems to me there is a strong likelihood they had some reason to be nervous about Christian displays.
