Woolco was an American-based discount retail chain. It was founded in 1962 in Columbus, Ohio, by the F. W. Woolworth Company. It was a full-line discount department store unlike the five-and-dime Woolworth stores which operated at the time. At its peak, Woolco had hundreds of stores in the US, as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom. While the American stores were closed in 1983, the chain remained active in Canada until it was sold in 1994 to rival Walmart, which was looking to enter the Canadian market. All of the former UK Woolco stores were sold by Kingfisher, who had bought the UK Woolworth business, to Gateway who subsequently sold them to Asda.

  • Woolco est une chaîne de magasins à rabais fondée en 1962 dans la ville de Columbus, Ohio aux États-Unis, par la F. W. Woolworth Company. Il s'agissait de grand magasins à prix réduit contrairement aux magasins tout à 5¢ et 10¢ de Woolworth qui fonctionnaient à l'époque. À son apogée, Woolco comptait des centaines de magasins aux États-Unis, ainsi qu'au Canada et au Royaume-Uni. Alors que les magasins américains ont fermés en 1983, la chaîne restait active au Canada jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit vendue en 1994 à son rival Walmart, qui cherchait à pénétrer le marché canadien. Tous les anciens magasins britanniques Woolco ont été vendus par Kingfisher, qui avait acheté l'entreprise britannique Woolworth, à Gateway, qui les a ensuite vendus à Asda. (fr)
