Man, I loved Woolworths, back in the day!! There was nothing like going to MB Mall in Oakland, CA on a Saturday afternoon hanging out with my brother and sisters. I remember buying my pet fishes and a lot of my LJN WWF and Remco AWA action figures from there. Those were the best of times and I miss them very, very much!!
How I miss these stores :( This looks like an awfully classy Woolworth! Complete with the grandmotherly figure as a sales clerk that seemed to always work in their stores. I knew that Woolworth started and owned Foot Locker, but the background in the shot of the father and son looking at shoes looks like the walls in early Foot Locker stores and the brands shown are PUMA and adidas. I'm curious if some Woolworth stores had Foot Locker shoe departments in some of their stores. Thank you for posting this!
Times were great back then stores were great back then, workers cared about their customers. Not today. Woolworth, Jefferson Ward, Kmart, Ames, JamesWay, were all great stores. never had a problem with their service , they were always respectful and helpful. Wal-Mart and target service sucks. They're rude and ignorant when you ask them something. Especially the young millennials. They know nothing about work
Dammmmmn! That's old school man! I had forgotten about that, but you reminded me that as a kid back in the 80's the Woolworth's small pet department was crazy.
