When you walked in the store you could smell the popcorn. You instantly felt at home. Always a delight to shop there. Sadly their gone, we need stores like that today.

As a young kid in the 1960s, my family still referred to Woolworths as “the five and dime.” Nice memories - thank you! 🙏🏼🌿

I miss Woolworth that was a classic store

I would go to Woolworth's with my grandmother on the weekends during the summer. We always sat at the lunch counter for a snack. I miss those days.

There is a Woolworth lunch counter still in operation in Bakersfield, California. The rest of the store is antiques, but the counter itself is old school burgers, fries, and shakes. I've been lucky enough to hit it, a couple of times, in the last few years.

Back in the 50's, I loved Woolworths as a kid. I always checked out the pet section. The parakeets, canaries, the turtles. My Mom would take my sister and I to lunch at their fountain when we went downtown on Saturdays. I always wanted the Club Sandwich. I was probably 9 or 10. I bought my first Duncan Yo-Yo there. What great memories.

My grade-school pals and I sat at the lunch counter one day and noticed balloons had been strung up overhead. I believe a sign informed us that we could pick a balloon and if a ticket was inside we would win whatever was written on it. I picked one and won a free banana split! You don't forget things like that!

There was one in our neighborhood and I like going in there with my grandmother. Simple things we took for granted.

Boy I remember Woolworths stores in the 1970s.

I remember going to Woolworth's in Chicago with my mom to buy my school supplies. I think it was '61 0r '62. I was either 5 or six. She bought me a hamburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake at the lunch counter. I recall the man at the counter poured my shake into a glass and left the metal shaker cup next to it. I looked in the metal cup only to discover more milkshake! My mom said that was mine too. One of the best childhood memories I have. I even remember the paper straws and how they would get soft and soggy and then collapse after a while, then my mom having to ask for another straw.

Am I the only one continually hitting the pause button to read every ad and every sign? Love this channel, wonderful memories!!!

I have such fond memories of my Grandpa taking me to Woolworth’s food counter on 16th street mall in Denver for the best pizza I’ve ever had! I sure miss those days now that I’m a grandpa...

I loved to go to Woolworths at Christmas!!!It was so decorated and Christmassy!

[roselyncampisi]

I loved Woolworths, it is a shame it is gone.

[sonyafox]

I just love watching these videos and they bring back so, many memories.

[davidthomas]

Our Woolworths was turned into an antique mall, but they kept the name and even reopened the lunch counter.

I used to love going to woolworths as a kid in the 60's. The wood floor, the smells, the size of the place was just magical. I was sad when that store closed down. The store was in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland.

I can't get enough of this terrific channel! It's the bee's knees!
