Frank Winfield (F.W.) Woolworth opened his first store in Utica, New York on February 22, 1878; but it was not successful. However, the following year, on June 21, 1879, he opened a store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and it was much more popular. This success quickly led to the opening of a second Pennsylvania store, in Harrisburg, on June 21, 1879; it too did very well, and led to more Woolworth stores opening.
