Woolco
Woolco was a
discount retail chain, founded in
1962, as a
division of
Woolworth. Woolco stores were Woolworth's response to Kresge's
Kmart stores. Kmart,
Target, Mejier and
Wal-Mart all opened their first stores in 1962. In
1983 Woolco was closed in the
United States, however the
Canadian division remained open until
1994. Many locations contained
Red Grille restaurants, and the
food areas sold
popcorn, real milkshakes, and other food.
