Woolworth was the original five and dime store in the US. It was the equivalent of today's DollarTreee. Woolworth tried to become a discount department store in the 1960s.

They bought Kinney shoes and tried to become a shoe store. This effort evolved into Footlocker.

The name "Woolworth" was used in different countries by different businesses with different marketing strategies.

Because it was used for so many different marketing strategies is hard to associate the name to any one memory.
