Woolco UK
This article only mentions Woolco in the US and Canada.

There were Woolco stores in the UK in the past - as I recall, there was a Woolco in Killingworth, near Newcastle upon Tyne, from (I would guess) the 1970s until at least 1986, and there were probably quite a few branches dotted around the country. 220.157.83.87 13:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Woolco in the UK
Woolco was the first large store that opened in the Scottish new town of Livingston, in 1976 or 1977. It was the biggest part of the Almondvale regional shopping centre, which would also contain a large Co-op store and a Presto supermarket, during the late 1970s.

Woolco was a huge store which contained a mind-boggling array of goods - everything from car parts to electrical goods, clothing, books and records, along with a large grocery section.

Woolco in Livingston closed in the mid 1980s, becoming Gateway and subsequently Asda, which it remains today, albeit completely refurbished and extended into an even more gigantic area of retail space.
