Dominion was a national chain of supermarkets in Canada, which was known as the Dominion of Canada when the chain was founded. The chain was founded in 1919 in Ontario and was later acquired by the Argus Corporation.

Woolco was an American-based discount retail chain. It was founded in 1962 in Columbus, Ohio, by the F. W. Woolworth Company.

At its peak, Woolco had hundreds of stores in the US, as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Woolworth's flagship stores were still doing well, but the company wanted to tap into the growing discount department store market without diluting its dominant position in the variety store business. The first Woolco store was located in Columbus, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
