Laredo Flashback: Before the conglomerates like Walmart and Target, we has smaller chain stores...Woolco off San Bernardo Woolco was an American-based discount retail chain. It was founded in 1962 in the city of 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 1982, the chain remained active in Canada until it was sold in 1994 to rival Walmart. Most of the former UK Woolco stores were renamed Woolworth.
