standing still and which ones
are dwindling.”
Are these words of an indus

No. That was Frank Win
field Woolworth’s response
when asked back in 1916,
"How do you analyze where
new stores should be
opened?”
Woolworth’s answer 63
years ago still applies, as
much now as when he founded
the company.
“Shifting patterns of growth
remain determining factors in
the company’s expansion pro

Sells pointed out, “...as well as
through a selective approach

To illustrate his strategy
Sells emphasized, "A small,
downtown Woolworth store in
a medium-sized community
may no longer be viable.
“The customer traffic just
isn’t there. It’s moved to the
suburbs and so have we."
Yet, Woolworth continues to
operate more downtown
stores than any other retailer
in the country, Sells comment

“All of those stores Frank
Woolworth had in 1916 are still
in operation (except one) in
