ISBN: 9780312206703.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMillions of Americans have fond memories of shopping at Woolworths, wandering the aisles in search of a humble spool Woolco thread, festive Christmas decorations, a goldfish or parakeet, or a blue bottle of Evening in Paris perfume. And who could forget the special treat of grilled-cheese sandwich or ice-cream sundae at the famous lunch counter?\n\nThese and countless other memories are celebrated in Remembering Woolworths. Packed with photos, first-hand remembrances, vivid anecdotes, and a lively, well-researched narrative, the book tells the story of how a poor potato farmer named Frank Woolworth created a merchandising empire that touched the lives of Americans in small towns, big cities, and everywhere in between. Chapters cover the stores humble beginnings, surviving the Great Depression, the civil rights sit-ins, Woolworths around the globe, the popularity of Woolworths collectibles, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958113890357,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312206704","price":45.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312206703_194265aa-6b4e-468d-b0d8-11c9cac1e3f6.jpg?v=1778936367","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/remembering-woolworths-a-nostalgic-history-of-the-worlds-most-famous-fiveanddime-9780312206703","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
