What they do at woolworths?
F.W. Woolworth's was a well-known and popular department store, sometimes called a "five-and-ten cent store" because in its day, it sold a wide variety of very affordable merchandise (plus, things cost less back then). The first Woolworth store opened in 1878, and at the height of its popularity, there were about 5,000 Woolworth stores nationwide, selling everything from dishes to clothing to recorded music; it also employed a lot of local people. Unfortunately for everyone who worked or shopped there, the chain went out of business in the 1990s.
