My grandmother and her friends called it "the 5 & 10"; now I know why 😄

I heard of five and dime stores but I never thought Woolworth was one.

Same!

..we called them the 5 & 10...same thing..prolly regional differences...

Even in the 80’s my mom would always say “get in the car, we’re going to the dime store.” Must have just been habit from when she was a kid in the 50’s and 60’s.

There was always something comforting about these stores. I didn't know others felt the energy also.

@@empressbeaded I still have my Woolworths check cashing card from 76. We are not alone. Its a part of history that will never be again. We can hope that one day we will go back to learn.

*they're gone

The smell of popcorn and cardboard, that's the smell I was trying to pinpoint. Very distinct . Thank you.

I was just thinking of that

The best hot dogs ever!

But America is so much more vibrant now with its wholesale open immigration, rainbow flags and drag queen story hour. Only a racist bigot would argue against that.

Me too! That's where I met my husband.

Same! As a kid in 60's Id take the bus downtown in Santa Monica CA to see a movie and then always went to Woolworths to look around and to eat lunch. In the 80's both my Mom and my sister worked at a Woolworths in Oxnard CA for several years. Great memories. Very sad the store is gone. Along with so many others. I believe it was done intentionally by the powers that be who own the Big Box billion dollar stores. They were basically squeezed out. If we look around these days we see the same thing with so many stores closed such as K Mart and hundreds of others. Same with Malls closing. With so much online shopping availability you are hard pressed to find many stores to shop in. I would rather go back to the 60's-70's and stay there.

Me too!!

Me to

Ohhhh Myyyyy Goshhhhh Kerry! Me too! My beloved Nana would say “Would you like to “have a bite to eat”, as we walked through the “five & dime”( what she called it)? Naturally, I always did 🤣& we would sit at the counter, ordering a sandwich & a chocolate ice cream soda! Other times we would get their hot fudge tulip sundae!!!! My favorite memories are tied with my dear Nana & I having lunch together at that luncheon counter. She would say to me this little poem “I scream, you scream, we all scream for 🍨 ice cream!”

My grandmother and I also frequented the lunch counter. Such good times. As a teen, madras shirts that bled when washed were the “It” thing to wear, but we couldn’t afford it. One day I was at Woolworth, and behold, there were a small rack of madras shirts, and I was able to get one at that famous low Woolworth price. Too bad that fad did not last. I loved that shirt.

@@lindabroad7391 “Ohhhhhh Myyyyy Gosh Linda! Me too! 🤣My grandmother would buy me a few of the “in clothes” for there was 7 of us, we lived with my Nana & parents divorced. I was so excited that she bought me two “ in dresses”( shifts they called it, back then ha!) from “STEIGERS”( upscale store in western Massachusetts at the time) when I was 16 yrs old! I finally had something that was “in.” I don’t think my Nana fully realized the importance of having “with it clothes” at that time in my life. Back in those days everyone was conscious of clothing & what everyone wore at the high school I attended. I know exactly how you felt about madras shirts & pocketbooks ( so in) & wanted them so much! What a great grandmother you had, too!

@@lindabroad7391 I remember madras shirts too! Where did the time go?

I miss it so much too. Woolworth’s was such an institution back then!!! I miss all the items they used to sell too, so inexpensively but what memories I have of this extraordinary place( “paradise for a little kid with her Nana & a whole five bucks to spend, that she would give me!”) I remember her saying, as I searched & searched for just the right item( had to spend it as a little kid, naturally)”You can save your money Karen you know but I know it is burning a hole in your pocket!” 🤣

Yes. And they had the best bon bon candy. Where did it go?

I remember that from early 70’s Great times

As a kid in the 70s, I loved going to their pet dept too! Odd that I never got a pet there, but I did buy pet supplies years later.

I got my first turtles and aquarium fish there. Loved watching the parakeets.

I remember it to( My grandmother taking me,in the early ‘60’s, here & all the delightful depts they had in the store for a young child to explore. I forgot about all the “birds, turtles, etc for sale but I too loved the club sandwich! Nana would say “Get what you want “ & I couldn’t remember exactly what I ordered until I saw your post! I “did” remember their hot fudge tulip sundae & if I didn’t order that, then it was a chocolate or vanilla ice cream soda but I couldn’t remember what I ordered for lunch! I did not care for open face sandwich’s ( still don’t ha! Don’t like the “wet bread with everything poured over it!”) but when you mentioned the club sandwich, I remembered, that was exactly what I ordered if we were doing lunch! Other times we would stop for just the hot fudge tulip sundaes! How I miss this store! Best memories!💜💜💜💜💜

You just reminded me of the first turtle my mom got for me there. It had a red back with palm tree on it. Even got it a bowl with a incline to walk up. It was something. Good memory.

So do I, lol! Miss those lunch counters.

I loved these also. It’s making me hungry just thinking about it Thanks for the memory jog.

😥 you making me hungry... Loved the treat of a lunch counter meal after the weekly shopping & or new school supplies!! ☺😋😃

@@joeturner3451 I miss those luncheon counters too! Some of my favorite memories!!!!

Wow that brings back memories of time with the grandparents. Thank for that!

There was one in downtown Tacoma, WA. The last one I was ever in. 1986+

There were two in Northern Virginia where I shopped. One at Tysons Corner Center (mall) another in Manassas, Virginia.

They were big in England

We had our 2 story ones in the Trumbull Mall (Connecticut) and stand alone in Stamford CT. Trumbull disappeared in '92. Stamford hung in until '97. Wilton CT was a level one story with a lunch counter.

I also have fond memories of Woolworth 🙏

Sounds like a great memory.

What a great memory & May all mothers whom have passed( love & miss you “my little mommy!”) “REST IN PEACE!”

My grandmother and I used to go there for lunch quite a bit. They were known for their Patty melts for sure and their chocolate shakes too. And then my grandma would pick up a whole bunch of yarn and sit for hours and make the most beautiful creations. Her hands were the most lovely things I've ever seen because she always made the most lovely things with them. That's what I think of when I think of Woolworths.

So sweet!

Those memories of eating lunch with your mom at the Woolworth's lunch counter will be with you forever. I remember my mom taking me and my twin sister to the Woolworth counter and putting on us on the stool. Our neighbour was the waitress/cook and I'd order spaghetti and she'd open a can of the Libby's/Heinz spaghetti and heat it up. I still eat that stuff to this day. I loved eating in the five and ten cent store!

What's the name of the location? That might be enough to get me to go to Bakersfield!

The Denver store was also the worlds largest.

@@davidhamm5626 Oh wow that's interesting.

@@davidhamm5626 WoW! There were at least 2 very large stores in Manhattan, NYC that were 2 or 3 floors. One on 34th St across from Macy's and the bigger store in lower Manhattan which was huge (& not called Wilco). The lunch counter was tremendous!! It eventually became part of the famous NYC discount store Century 21, which unfortunately closed at the end of 2020 due to the pandemic. I bought a large snow-covered Christmas wreath from the 34th St store (for $1 after Christmas in the early 1990s) which I still have and use each December!😸

It is a city block north to south, which , in Denver is about 500 feet, and about 250 feet wide. I think it has 3 upper floors, and 2 basements, but, I cannot lay my hands on the information right now.

Woolworths and tons of other stores that are gone forever.

Woolworth is is doing well in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Still open in 2021.

Woolworth's is still going in Australia and a few other countries, I think the U.S. is one of the few places where it's gone. The company that owned Woolworths in the U.S. outlasted the stores by a few years.

@@howardkerr8174 Another reason I should go to Australia!

Yes, Woolworths with my Christmas club money to buy presents.

Me too! I bought my little brother ( pretty much every yr as a kid!) the Life Savers Book of different flavors! He doesn’t remember it ( 19 months younger than me) but I sure do! Too funny! I have 6 younger brother & sisters but just remember buying for my little brother, my mom & Nana( parents divorced when I was around 10 or so)! Did all my “Christmas shopping there”, as a kid!

I did too 😂😂

Reminded me of the time I bought my mom a gift of toilet water for a dime. I thought it smelled great. My mom's facial expressions told me I was wrong.

Oh wow! There’s a nostalgic memory!

I bought model kits at Woolworths too! I also bought model trains there.

Also bought mine there in the '70"s.

Now some stores will fire you for taking home food like that -they want it in the trash

@@davidperry7271 yep! Fact! I have even heard of people getting fired because they took perishable items such as bread and sandwiches that will just get thrown away, down to homeless shelters. Times are so different now

I would not go that far:: dollars stores a great birthday party stuff

@walter deanovich I go to Farm & Home type stores now, just to get the smell of a Tack Shop of Leather saddles and horse ointment smells to remember when. Smells of past greatnesses. Farm and Ranch life was Best! Woolworth on Saturday, Church on Sunday.

Woolworth’s sold good merchandise, the Dollar Store sells mostly made in China crap!

By comparing it with dollars store; make Woolworth look cheap;; dollars stores more for cheap birthday; Christmas 🎄 holiday present 🎁: : dollars store more discount 💿 cd; DVD; ;; toys etc etc

Pamela Mays+ Mickey Mouse Dolls make wonderful Christmas and Birthday Presents:)!! I too so loved Woolworths as a Child and as a Teenager into Adulthood:)!!!

My dad would stop in to the lunch counter whenever we were running errands for mom and we would get something to eat. They did have great food in the 70s.

Why would anyone refuse eating at Woolworths ?????? Th

One of my favorite stores when I was a teenager !

As a kid in the 60's and 70's i wanted to eat sometimes at Woolworth's lunch counter. But our parents wouldn't pay, thinking of such things as "Frivolous." And my allowance was too low to buy stuff. They did get me some models and a pet turtle from WWS. In 1970 I figured out with Inflation my 25 cent allowance was 1/5 my dad's Depression allowance in purchasing power! Dad's story was how with his nickel he'd get a double or triple scoop cone or see Saturday movies. i went downtown and priced them, me never having had a double cone and had only seen 2 movies, I confronted him. He raised my allowance to 1 dollar 25. A movie i think was 1.50 or 2 dollars. Before then, my brothers and i 'supplemented' our 25 cent allowances by stealing candy.

@@carlcushmanhybels8159 thieves

Mine was in Phillipsbirgh NJ. Bought all my Christmas lights there

After the US stores closed, there were still some left in the UK. When I had visited London in the 1990s, I went out of my way to find one and bought candy.

I have spent many vacations in the Outer Banks NC over the last 50 years, just not recently. But I do recall that Woolworth being around Mile Post 10 (give or take), on the 'by-pass' of Route 12. Nice store always.

I would often go there to shop and have a bite to eat. My dentist was close by so I'd wait for my ride at that Woolworths. Lived in Skokie...

I grew up in Michigan in the 70's, but I honestly don't remember any Woolworth's stores -- just KMart, Kresge's, and the 'dime store' in town was 'Grove's 5c to $1' -- not sure if it was an independent or what, but it was the same basic formula. That's all gone now, the town has changed considerably in the 40 years since we moved away...

@@AndrewAMartin There was a Woolworths, could have been called Woolco inside of Universal Mall in Warren,Michigan.

I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, and have fond memories of the Woolworth store on Ashmun St. with the lunch counter inside. We would get an order of French fries, because all we had was some small change. My Mother was from Sault, Ontario so we would also go to the Woolco store there. Across Ashmun St, there was a Kresge store. And in Sault Ste Marie Ontario there was a store just like Kresge's, named Jupiter. Where I got my first snowmobile suit.

@@Brvnkaerv I also remember the Kresge store on Ashmum Street, across the street from Woolworth's. There were Jupiter stores in the Detroit area. Back in the day, I used to work for Kmart when S.S.Kresge Company owned Kmart. Back in the day, they were Kresge, Kmart, and Jupiter stores. And, there were the SUPER K CENTERS, Kmart wanted to compete with Meijer and Wal-Mart.

@@davidsquires154 Cool! Are you from the Sault David?

And that store had a huge souvenir section on the second floor with a wealth of wonderful cheesy stuff.

L&T's flagship store is missed here in NYC, especially their legendary Christmas windows! 😿

@@larrycj4382 L & T had the best Christmas windows of any of the New York stores. Every December there would be a queue at least a couple blocks long lining up to see the windows.

@@JamesVaughan Yes! So much joy over the years!! The CEO had said that they would still have their planned display for their last Christmas in December 2018 (they closed in Jan 2019). So I went there one night in early Dec 2018 and was HORRIFIED to see red "Store Closing" signs in all but one of the windows! She LIED!! 😾The one window without a closing sign had a computer animated display that was shown a few years earlier of Gingerbread men frolicking around. Except the ending had a much deeper impact, as one gingerbread man came in for a closeup and waved goodbye! 😿 I was not the only teary-eyed one staring in disbelief!! On the 10th floor they had decorative items from store displays & windows including Christmas from as far back as the 1950s. It was like a museum with things scattered all over. I made one last stop a week before Christmas to wave a final goodbye to that Gingerbread man. This time I just let the tears flow. When others saw my reaction, they openly cried too! It was unreal!!! So many like me had said they had been there every year as a kid and told me that. I have photos and many memories from past years that I will cherish forever. One of a polar bear display from 2017 hangs in my bedroom. It has helped me endure the pandemic, as I would remember standing there watching the movement. 😸

@@larrycj4382 I grew up with the L & T store in Millburn, NJ. It was, of course, much smaller than the Fifth Avenue store, but was handy for us as we lived only 15 minutes away. My mother bought most of her clothes there (as did many of the other upper-middle class "WASP" ladies in the area). She would treat my brother and me to lunch in the store's restaurant, The Bird Cage, occasionally . The menu in the 1950s tended towards things like chicken à la king and dainty little sandwiches. Then a waitress would wheel out a dessert cart containing petit fors and fancy pastries. I always remember a wisecrack of my brother's, "I know why they call it The Bird Cage, because they eat like birds here!" The chain seemed to decline around the 1990s or so, losing some of their carriage trade in an attempt to broaden their customer base, and suffering from too many changes in ownership. Really sad, a venerable department store name that never quite made it to their bi-centenary.

@@JamesVaughan You summed up the demise of L&T perfectly. Nice to hear how things went on in Millburn. Wish I could have lunched @ the Bird Cage! For some reason, Manhattan dept. stores were never big on restaurants (except for Macy's & Bloomingdales), until 10-12 years ago. The L&T Manhattan store actually did not have a restaurant until about 12 years ago when a branch of the popular gourmet brunch restaurant Sarabeth's opened. It was a modern decor setting, probably beneath The Bird Cage. I actually had lunch there on my last visit, where it was an oasis hidden from the frenzied crowds of bargain hunters (most Women's items were marked down to $5.99, including evening gowns that retailed for several thousands of $$!!). About 3 years before the store closed, they completed a major renovation of the mens department which cost many millions of $. It was over 2 floors in size and was one of the largest men's departments in the City. They would have a once a year men's sale in June, which I always made sure to attend. The L&T men's brand had a uniqueness of its own, which I liked and am glad I bought some special pieces over the years, some of which were exclusively made only for the Manahttan store. I really miss it!

We'd always go to one around Shively when visiting my aunt and uncle. Last Woolworths I saw was in St Louis in 1995. Really hated to see Woolworths close down.

I went to new York City in 1985 they had one Woolworths left. But it was going out of business didn't have very much left so sad. I did go to the lunch counter and ordered something can't remember what may have been a cheeseburger and chocolate shake. The older I get the more I long for the 1950's again.

Nothing says Easter like a Venus flytrap. Lol.

@@RJ-hx5nb We also had Woolworths in Marinette Wi. I loved going in there on Saturdays before going to the Fox Theater which was directly behind it. If I had money from babysitting, I might get a 45, some candy at the candy counter which they always weighed out with a scoop on the old fashioned scales or if I had enough, maybe a plate of freshly made french fries. I think they were 45 cents. I don't remember Blue Waltz perfume, but I have heard about it so much that I finally bought some on The Vermont Country Store. You get two bottles.
