Former manager Claire Robertson is behind the move, which has also given 20 of the original store's employees their jobs back.
Robertson believes there is a gap in the town for a store similar in format to Woolworths, although she is bringing in some new lines and abandoning others.
She is not the only original Woolworths employee to want to bring a Woolworths-style retailer back to the high street.
Three members of the company's former management have said they want to open a chain of 50 Woolies lookalikes.

Knowing what I know now I wish I had bought more Lindabarker Churchill fine bone china mugs. Do you in the now famous Wellworth's by any chance stock this range of mugs. Hope to hear from you.
