{"product_id":"woolco-embroidered-dad-cap-hat","title":"Woolco Embroidered Dad Cap Hat","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShow your appreciation for a chapter of department store history with this Woolco Embroidered Dad Cap Hat. Woolco opened its first store in Columbus, Ohio, in 1962 and expanded rapidly, reaching more than 300 locations across North America by the mid-1970s. From its in-house food counters to Canadian $1.44 Days, the chain left shoppers with distinctive memories. This wearable tribute suits former customers, retail-history enthusiasts, and collectors drawn to the story of a brand that operated across three countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoolco was a full-line discount department store chain founded by the F. W. Woolworth Company in Columbus, Ohio. Its first store opened on June 6, 1962, as the company sought to enter discount retail while maintaining its variety-store business. Woolco grew rapidly: by 1966 it had 18 U.S. stores and nine in Canada, and more than 300 locations had opened across North America by the mid-1970s. The chain also operated in the United Kingdom, where a large Bournemouth store opened in 1968. Woolco tested the Worth Mart format in the 1960s, then folded those stores into Woolco by the 1970s. Facing financial pressure, Woolworth announced in September 1982 that it would close its U.S. stores; all 336 had shut by January 1983. Canadian stores continued operating. On January 14, 1994, Woolworth sold most of its Canadian Woolco stores to Walmart as Walmart entered that market. In Britain, the stores passed from Woolworth ownership to Gateway and then Asda. Some former Canadian locations later became Zellers stores, and some subsequently passed to Target Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Unstructured 6-panel body for a relaxed, low-profile fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Permacurv® precurved visor with 4-row stitching and color-matched underbill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Self-fabric hideaway strap with antique brass buckle and grommet for adjustable fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% cotton construction (Green Camo variant 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sewn-in label and brand sticker on visor; adult sizing (not for ages 0–3)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water and dish soap and clean spots off your hat.
