Woolworth는 1879 년 뉴욕 Utica와 Pa.의 Lancaster에 첫 5 센트 매장을 설립했습니다. 후자의 매장은 특히 가격 한도를 10 센트로 올린 후 성공적이었으며 다음 10 년 동안 Woolworth는 21 개의 매장을 더 열었습니다. 펜실베니아, 뉴저지, 뉴욕, 델라웨어 및 코네티컷의 도시에서 대부분이 파트너십을 통해 자금을 조달하고 관리했습니다. 1904 년 말까지 21 개 주에 120 개 매장이 콜로라도까지 서쪽으로 확장되었습니다. Woolworth는 대량 구매, 카운터 디스플레이 머천다이징 및 현금 및 현금 거래에서 성공을 거두었습니다.
In 1905 Woolworth incorporated, as F.W. Woolworth & Co., and in 1909 he founded F.W. Woolworth and Co., Limited, to serve Great Britain and Ireland. Then in 1911 he invited four rival American retail chains to merge their businesses with his and form a single national corporation. The four rival retailers were Seymour Horace Knox (Woolworth’s first cousin), with 108 five-and-tens; Fred Morgan Kirby, with 84; Charles Sumner Woolworth (Frank’s brother), with 14; and Earle Perry Charlton, with 48. Woolworth’s own giant company at the time of the merger had 319 stores. Agreements were signed on Nov. 12, 1911, and the new consolidated company, with 596 stores coast to coast, assumed the F.W. Woolworth Co. name. The new company’s headquarters, the Woolworth Building (1913) in New York City, was the tallest skyscraper in the world until 1930.
By 1929 Woolworth had about 2,250 outlets, and its stores continued to proliferate in the United States and Britain. The company raised its price ceiling to 20 cents in 1932 and abolished price limits altogether in 1935. The company purchased the shoe manufacturer and retailer G.R. Kinney Corporation (founded 1894) in 1963 and the Australian shoe store chain Williams the Shoemen in 1969. In 1982 it sold a controlling interest in its British subsidiary.
Over the years Woolworth acquired other store chains. The company’s Foot Locker chain of athletic-shoe retailers proved especially successful. By 1982 the company had more than 8,000 stores worldwide, but it was facing increased competition from the Kmart Corporation and other discount retailers. These pressures compelled Woolworth to rely more and more on its Foot Locker, Kinney Shoes, and other specialty stores. Woolworth closed its remaining variety stores in the United States in 1997, thus abandoning its traditional general-merchandise retail business there.
After renaming itself Venator Group, Inc., in 1998, the company operated retail stores in North America, Europe, and Australia into the early 21st century. The company increasingly focused on sporting goods, and in 2001 it changed its name to Foot Locker, Inc.—the name of its leading retail brand—and relaunched the Woolworth brand as an online company, although some Woolworth retail stores remained in operation.
