Woolworth Cd. Juarez Mexico

As promised, here is the Woolworth store at the Plaza Sendero Mall in Ciudad Juarez. This is one of the 3 Woolworth stores near the US/Mexico border. The rest of the stores are located much further into the country. There is not an exact store count available, but their website lists 32 locations all throughout mostly central Mexico. The company name lives on after being acquired in 1997 when the remaining US stores closed. The company that now owns Woolworth is called Grupo Comercial Control, and has a few other brands under their control. Their other brand DelSol looks almost identical to Woolworth. There are even 2 Café Woolworth restaurants listed on their website. Either way, it had been over 20 years since I stepped inside of a Woolworth store. It was a very cool experience to step inside the modern version of what was once the largest department store chain after such a long absence in the US.

More information about Woolworth in Mexico can be found here at their official website.

The store was actually damaged by fire and smoke in 2011 along with the nearby Wendy's.

This Woolworth store is 2 levels, but it is a very small store. Woolworth in Mexico has a huge focus on apparel, but has a large variety of products for the home as well. Prices are low and they have a sale flyer that can be found at every entrance to the store.

I had to purchase one of the red shopping bags for my collection.

This price scanner advertises their payment plan of 60 days of no interest with a 10% down payment.

The second level is mostly Womens apparel.

Kids clothing and shoes are also located on the second floor.

I always have to laugh when I see bare mannequins in an otherwise fully stocked store.

Here is a shot to see how small the second floor of the store is. This is from one side to the other. The second floor is a square.

Going down to the slightly larger 1st floor of the store.

This is a view of the variety of items Woolworth carries. This side of the store had home items, kitchen items, toys, office and school supplies, seasonal items, and a few other items.

Men's apparel on the first floor.

The sign above the door is interesting, showing evacuation route.

A closer look at the sign and also the current slogan for Woolworth. Roughly translated to "Woolworth is for you".

Cosmetics, health and beauty items.

Now for the electronics department.

The electronics department was only about 2 aisles, but there is a decent variety of TV's, components, and accessories.

Candy counter just past the housewares.

A real treat, a candy counter greets people at the mall entrance.

Toys, sundries, and more Summer items.

Look below the action figure, the shelves had these cool digital price displays.

A view of the escalator through one of the toy aisles.

The checkouts are located just past the electronics. More snacks and beverages are available in the aisle leading to the checkouts.

One more quick trip upstairs.

One last glance of the health and beauty items near the registers and electronics.

Here is the outside entrance to the store.
