[Dr. Sivana]

Weren’t there Kresge dimestores or drugstores at one time - or am I thinking of something else?

Yes. They were like Woolworth's. K-Mart was Kresge's transition to big box discount that had succeeded. Woolco was Woolworth's attempt. It failed.

I remember my mother and her mother (grandma) always taking me to the Woolco store in Frederick, Maryland when I was a kid. The place bored me to tears, but sometimes, we’d get something to eat afterward.
