947.0. "Woolworth Stores" by JUPITR::MAHONEY () Wed Jul 31 1991 09:53

    
    Could anyone tell me if there is a Woolworth department store around 
    anymore?  A friend of mine lives in the Worcester area and swears she
    has been to one in this area, but I didn't think there were any
    Woolworths left around here. If anyone knows of this stores locations
    please post them here.
    
    Thanks

    	There used to be one on Main St in Worcester, but it closed
    	about three years ago, I believe (if not more). That's the 
    	only one I knew of...

947.27Only 3,450 replies to go!CUPMK::SLOANEIs communcation the key?Tue Aug 06 1991 17:4510
There must be some 3,478 Woolworth stores in the United States of America, so
we only have a little more than 3,450 more replies before this string ends.

Of course, irrelevant comments like this one increase the total number of 
replies.

PS - There is no Woolworth's in Boscawen, NH (and not much of anything else,
either).
947.28been on my mindRENOIR::STHILAIREFood, Shelter & DiamondsTue Aug 06 1991 17:535
    re .27, I just hope there's a follow-up on whether or not the friend in
    .0 makes a successful shopping trip to one of the Woolworth's.  :-)

    and if get a complete set of replies as to where there is not a
    Woolworth's, we'll have around 34000 replies, unless someone start
    on a list of non-US locations...

  According to an upcoming version of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the
  Universe"...

  Aside from Earth, the only place in the known Universe with a Woolworths
  is a small star system hidden behind the Crab Nebula.  But unlike the
  Earth-bound Woolworths, in this particular shop there's nothing you
  can buy for 5 or 10 cents, and nothing you'd buy if you have any sense
  at all, it not being called the Crab Nebula for nothing.  But Wool, the
  bar tender, is reported to make one of the better Pan Galactic Gargle-
  blasters in the Universe although his Jyn-n-Tawnics are reported to
  taste like the Charles River (see).

  > unless someone starts on a list of non-US locations...             
    
  There's one on the Kingsbury High Road in London, NW9...
    Come out of the tube station (Northern Line), turn right and
    it's past the antiques shop and opposite the swimming pool in
    the park.

    ....and you haven't lived until you've shopped in Woolies in
    Marlborough, England - it's a teeny one and opens on Sundays.  My 17
    year old student son works there on Sundays and I can use his discount
    card - 10% on everything!
    
    Anyone know anyone if there's a store in Marlboro US?

947.34GNUVAX::QUIRIYPresto! Wrong hat.Tue Aug 13 1991 09:484
    
    Unfortunately, there's not a Woolworth's in Marlborough (Mass.) USA.
    There's sure to be at least 20 other towns of the same name in
    different states, though!
