During the mid-20th century years, the Woolworth Company was the largest prepared food retailer in the world. Nearly all stores had a "Woolworth Luncheonette." In late 1961, Woolworth's introduced the Harvest House Cafeteria chain. These restaurants were usually built as part of a Woolworth store, although a few were freestanding and located in another part of a shopping center or mall.

In addition to its 5 & 10s and discount marts, the Woolworth enterprise also operated four large shopping mall chains. Kinney shoes was acquired in 1963. Susie's Casuals was introduced in 1968. Richman Brothers, a popular men's wear retailer, was acquired in 1969. Foot Locker made its debut in 1974.
