Woolworth Photos and History 1972

 Woolworth opened in 1969, along with Sears in Phase 1 of the Southern Park Mall. By 1998, the store permanently closed. This being said, the majority of the space did not go vacant. It was split four ways into Foot Locker - Mens/Ladies/Kids, and an Afterthoughts. All four brands were owned by Woolworth. A portion of the space was also used by Jillian’s which opened in 1999 and had no affiliation with Woolworth.
