== 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.
