I can't tell you how many times as a kid I would have sat at the stools and ordered food. My mother worked there at as young girl, then at Kress. It was a fantastic store with so much to offer and so much fun! Thank you so much, Jordan for bringing these memories and all the great times I had there!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

It's a shame the Woolworth's museum is closed. You got lucky and got to see what was left. That so cool :)

[@sandeedriver1941]

In the early 70's , We had 5 kids in our family. Every week we would get our 50 cent allowance and ride our bikes perhaps 2 miles, but felt like 20 and we would end up at the Woolworths dept. Store in Hanford, CA. We spent every penny and came home with most of those toys in that museum. I truly enjoyed this vlog. Thank you jordan!

[@bonniebrown6960]

I remember a lot of that stuff from when I was a little girl . I wish they would come back again . That brought back good memories . Thanks for taking us along Jordan !!

[@DenaDeniseRush]

That’s how I always feel too. Like I’m going along with Jordan on one of his adventures. Lol

[@annetteslife]

I remember all of those as well.

[@qtbrniis]

@Bonnie Brown I know what you mean. My grandmother would take me there every Saturday for lunch and we'd always order the Salisbury Steak. I'd get a 45 (record) with my allowance and my grandmother would buy me a package of cashews to munch later in the afternoon. The building still stands to this day & I can't go past it without saying, "There's where the old Woolworth's 5 & Dime stood." Ahhh....the memories! Jordan brought them all back in a rush! Love his videos!

[@bonniebrown6960]

@@qtbrniis , the one we went to was in Atlanta Ga. My mother and my grandparents and great grandparents lived up near Atlanta back in the 40's , 50's , 60's , and 70's. I remember going shopping with my mother and my aunt Cheryl in Atlanta and we'd go to Woolworths . I remember them having the white and green striped awnings in front of the store . I was just a little girl when I went . Then we would go over to Riches to go shopping . Of course sadly things have changed a lot in Atlanta since way back then . We all moved away from that area in the early 70's . I don't know when Woolworths shut down here , but that will always be great memories especially at Christmas time .

[@Musicradio77Network]

I hope New York City needs to open a Woolworth Museum which is going to be in the iconic Woolworth Building which is in Lower Manhattan, and it will have the same memorabilia as it was in this former museum in Bakersfield, CA.

[@maijaapplegate6612]

What you said was a napkin dispenser is actually a toaster. I love your enthusiasm for all things of age. I believe you are an old soul!

[@comingjudgement1214]

Luckily I researched this before responding. It is, indeed, a toaster. I had never seen anything like this, but evidently used for its looks as people sitting at the lunch counter could see the equipment used.

[@mynameisvna]

I loved going to Woolworth as a kid. Brought back memories. Thanks for showing us! Great to see Jah❤🐾

[@maryellenshock]

Had my first job at Woolworth, back in the 70's.

[@sassiebean9052]

Nostalgia at it's finest! what a fantastic stroll down memory lane. thank you for sharing this, brings back many memories.They REALLY need to make a museum for the public with all the things left from Woolworth's so these things are preserved for a long time to come!

[@chrishutchinson2297]

I used to love to go to Woolworths. I used to work at a Broadway store next door to a Woolworths and I used to eat at the lunch counter there just about every day. People are always so nice and friendly. I miss that place

[@veravaladez1525]

Were nice and friendly

[@ellennewth6305]

As a kid in the 60's, I always spent my 10 cent allowance at Woolworth's. I remember the lunch counter, vending machines, photo booths and all that stuff. Love that you are able to get into places we can't! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Jordan!

[@johncrespeno9157]

WOW, Jordan, does this bring back wonderful memories and I thank you for exploring this museum and posting this for your fans. I saw the Woolworth map of Texas and we grew up shopping at the one in Dallas. My mom would let me have free reign of the store while she went down the street to shop for boring things. The three things I remember the most are the pet dept. where I bought several canaries, a hamster, and a turtle, the record dept. where they would actually play your 45 rpm to check for scratches, and the lunch counter. They made the best toasted turkey sandwiches with fries and a vanilla malt. Really good times. Thanks again.

[@tamigarrett3513]

I was a 70s kid and I had one of those punching balloons. I remember my grandma taking me to Woolworths.

[@stevendemay5367]

I have great memories involving Woolworths Department Store. My grandmother use to treat me as a kid before we would go see a movie. We would get our candies there. This was the 70s in Connecticut. Great memories! Thank you Jordan. 😀

[@darrinlawton2748]

Woolworths in Australia are all supermarkets but up until the 1990's we also had Woolworths variety department stores as well. They stocked just about every kind of homeware item you could imagine.

[@leannefabro3289]

Darrin Lawton I am in Australia the Woolworths here are known as supermarkets mainly food with a few homewares. I had never seen Woolworths variety department stores what part of Australia were those stores. Thanks 🙂

[@darrinlawton2748]

I've lived in Sydney all my life and Woolworths had variety department stores in suburbs all over Sydney.....my ex-wife worked at the store in Bankstown square in the mid 80s. At some point I believe the Woolworths variety stores were rebranded or absorbed into the Big W chain. Of course the Woolworths name was retained for the supermarkets. Coles also had a chain of variety stores as well until they also closed some time in the early to mid 80s.

[@leannefabro3289]

I guess each State had different shops. I worked for Coles and we had variety department stores they didn’t close shops but they did change the stores which became supermarkets with limited homewares. Sadly things did change it was nice to be able to grab whatever you needed in one place. Thank you for your reply.🙂

[@Gang155]

Amazing vlog! I enjoy old timey vintage things just like this. Luck was on your side again, which made it lucky for us too. Thank you!

[@blazefairchild465]

What a nice walk down memory lane ! My Grandma loved Woolworths & took us when we visited her in Boston. I received the loom at 5 & the chemistry set at 8 & later a microscope at 9 she got there. I just thought of it now, perhaps these things from my early childhood left me to study Science & work in microbiology. Wow, goes to show you even someone you loose from your life at age nine can make a difference.

[@lauriecoleman6361]

Oh the memories this vlog invoked in me. I have some Christmas decorations from Woolworths with the original packaging that my mom passed down to me when I got married. I will be getting them out today when I start decorating for Christmas. Thanks so much Jordan for a special vlog!

[@vickiekasafirek9096]

I loved Woolworth they had all kinds of unique items. There are no stores like the old 5 & dimes. It's a shame now all store have the same crap. I miss them. Great video👍. Thank you. Happy Holidays🎅🎄.

[@darylturcott]

This was so cool. It shows why you are so good at this, research & persistence. It would have been a good video just from the outside, but it turned into a super special vlog.

[@carobinsonrobinson3109]

I grew up in Oxnard. I remember going in that store.Thanks Jordan. Good memories.

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Wow. Memories. My mother use to work the makeup counter at Woolworth's way before I was even born. The soda counter was cool. You could get ice cream floats and stuff. Jah, sweet boy. He is my fav. Thank you Jordan for the trip down memory lane. You are definitely a jewel!!! Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁

[@janehickenbottom9200]

I just turned 60 this year and I can remember a lot of these things When I was in the 9th grade I would go down the street from school and eat at Woolworths in MtSterling , Ohio The memories. Thank you!! A great video!!!

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, WHAT A JOY, a lovely trip down Memory Lane. I was so sad when Woolworths went, it was a fabulous store which had it all and ALL at reasonable prices. Woolworths had everything from cutlery to pipe cleaners. I have just been going round our old store in my head after watching this. I still have a couple of old 1970's paper Christmas decorations which I bought from there and just keep now as a memory. Big fuss for the Jahster. Great vlog Jordan.

I remember the Woolworths here in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. I loved the lunch counter and can remember my Mom taking me for those hamburgs. It was on Queen Street and next door to a similar store "Kresge's" Fond memories of buying little trinkets there when I first started getting an allowance.Thanks for the vlog and for taking me back in time, Jordan.

I'm still grieving for Woolworths,miss it so much.

I really enjoyed this vlog. I remember so many of the items you showed that they used to sell. Glad you captured these last glimpses of a time gone by.

[@nancyangel450]

How wonderful.....brings back memories of my grandmother and I meeting there. She bought my first compact at Woolworths or Kresses.

[@dianabeurman9937]

Great vlog!! Remember this so well, great memories.Glad you got to get in and see all the cool old stuff.

[@donnagutierrez5740]

When I was growing up in Santa Barbara we had a Woolworth, a Newberry, Rexall, and Thrifty's. All of them had lunch counters and the same sort of items. I remember buying all my 45s at Woolworth and all my sewing patterns and fabrics and such at Newberry and although the banana splits at Woolworth were awesome the best deal was a three scoop cone for 15 cents at Thrifty.. Such great memories. Then you Jordan!!

[@TheMocao]

Donna Gutierrez I remember when I was a little, getting excited to go to the Newberry store where my grandma lived, because our town had a Woolworth but not a Newberry. Lol

[@mikes7070]

Same thing here in Ventura..... They were originally on Main St.

I worked at Thrifty's on State St when Piccadilly square was next door and the one in Oxnard at center point.

@@qhorson2555 as I was only 14 when we moved to Arizona I hadn't worked yet. My Dad was a DJ at KIST and he worked at Silverwoods on State.

[@leggettnada1]

This was great walking down memory lane. I worked the lunch counter when I was 16-17 and loved every minute of it. The loom you talked about was for making pot holders. I recognized several things in the show cases. Jordan this was great and thank you so much. Much love to you and Jah and have a great day.

[@martyrose]

As a 15 year old kid working my first "real" job across the street from the closed Woolworth's store, I watched the workers destroying the store. I walked across the street and after much argument, I convinced this elderly man on a ladder, in white overalls, to give me one of the original signs from the late 1800s. I still have it. I love it. It's one of my favorite things. Thanks for this! I enjoyed it!😀👍

[@cindycinnamon1965]

Hey wow, really neat how they let you inside to see what was left of the museum! It made my day to see that Monkees 45 in the display case, too. And when I hear the word "Oxnard", I immediately associate it with the band Dr. Know. I dunno why, but I just do maybe cuz of Brandon Cruz.

[@xufn]

Congrats on 1200 Jordan, I used to love going to woolworths with my mother in Waltham, MA when I was a little kid. Every time I would get a slice of apple pie at the counter with a huge scoop of vanilla icecream on top. The nice lady that was always there would give me a free giant glass of milk. She said thank you for always cleaning up after myself & being polite. Once they retired the lunch counter I knew the store was screwed. It was replaced with Family Dollar & instead of going in every couple days we would go there maybe twice a month.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you!

[@MrThunders66]

Awesome vlog Jordan. I was a woolworth's kid my mom worked the lunch counter in the parma ohio store when she could not get a sitter I would go to work with her and sit at the lunch counter coloring in my underdog coloring book until my grandfather got home from work.

So awesome. Part of our history.

[@mariaday712]

Thank you to the school for letting you into the Woolworth museum. So many wonderful old things. I remember so many of them. The sliver thing you thought was a napkin dispenser is actually an old toaster. You pull the door down and put a piece of bread in the slot in the door and then you close it up. There's another door on the other side. When the bread is toasted. You open the door and turn the bread around and toast the other side. Now you see why we have pop up toasters. LOL. The thing that looks like an adding machine is really a check imprinter. You slid the levers to the amount of the check. You slide the check in and pull the handle down. The amount of the check is then imprinted on the check. I used to use one of those in a job I had. It's so wonderful to see all these things from my childhood. I remember they used to have a Woolworth on Market street in San Francisco. Right where the cable cars turn around. Thank you Jordan for bringing us here and getting lucky to go inside and show us all these wonderful things. Glad to see our man Jah looking good. Thanks again for all you do for us. Safe Travels and Take Care.

Ah! Woolworths ! Hello Jordan ! ~ I do think everyone misses Woolworths now their gone ! ~ We had a really big store in Bradford were I live ~ It was built on 4 or 5 levels ! ~ I have great memories about this store ... The goods that they sold as well as the classic architecture of this amazing building ! But strangely the one I dream* about is a very large Woolies that was based on the on the sea front in Morcambe - Which was 12 - 15mins drive below the famous Blackpool ! This Wooworths was massive ! Size of a football pitch ~ Bigger maybe ! ~ A giant square ! ~ It sold everything ! Items for the toursts and of course items for the people that lived in Morcambe ~ When you were inside and were paying at the tills(the big clunky ones) ~ You looked out through those giant massive glass windows they had and just by the road were the normal traffic + the Tram tracks where the famous Blackpool trams ran up and down the sea front ! ~ Over the road was the promanade ~ And in all it's glory you could see the Sea either coming in or going out ~ What a lovely place * No wonder I dream of it ? ~ A great place like that was like heaven to a child 6 or 7 onwards all those toys and the sea front ! ~ Every year we went same 2 weeks in August same bording house Mrs Austins !

The First Class envelope you pointed out in the museum's display case was given to all store locations. It was for correspondence between stores and the main office in New York. In the upper left corner was a line to place the store number. My late Aunt was one of the female managers who were actually not actually called a manager but another term. They were treated poorly long hours, low pay and an inappropriate title.

My uncle was the postmaster in a tiny post office in central Pennsylvania and had a pop machine like the one in the vlog with all kinds of flavors for a dime at the side of the building. He always had an ashtray full of dimes on his desk and after I went and greeted him (I did love him, too) and we'd talk a little, he'd always ask if I wanted one for some pop and I never turned him down. It was probably in the late sixties until 1971 when he passed away. He was one of the nicest people in the world. So thanks for the memory, Jordan. The entire post takes me back, I'm 57!

[@taeevanston2573]

Jordan, I truly enjoyed going back to my childhood memories of Woolworth's (and Kresge's) discount stores from this museum visit. I recall walking up and down the aisles, while my mom shopped for hours, looking for her favorite cosmetics, snacks, and hair accessories. One thing I remembered which I don't think anyone has mentioned, is the luscious aroma of caramel and fresh-made popcorn that permeated in the air as soon as one walked in through the heavy glass doors. So glad they allowed you to videotape these wonderful memories.

Thanks Jordan, that really takes me back, I remember going to Woolworth's and buying a craft pack of wood and creating all kinds of wood sculptures, l also remember getting Jack's, punchy ball and that little plastic doll, it was a very fun time to be a kid. I really miss that store.

Thanks for this Jordan! Very cool that you got in only to check out more than initially thought! I kept pausing as I had memories of most of the toys...certainly of the lunch counter. That was a big deal as a child ; - ) Thank you for the smiles! Safe travels!

Sad that great history is fading away from us, but this brought back awesome memories of the Sixties, when my friend's and I would meet up at Woolworth after school for milkshakes..Boy those were the days

Loved this video. My fav place to go as a little kid was Woolworths. Always went with my mom and remember the Christmas Holiday decor that they would have. My mom would get some awesome decorations. I truly do miss Woolworths.
