The Bakersfield Woolworth's Luncheonette is the last one still open in the United States.
I remember my Mom telling me her first job was at Woolworth ! I also remember her saving up her GreenStamps ! Love this ! This is the type of store I love going through ! Great Vlog !!
We still have Woolworths here in Germany!
Places like this are dearly missed by those of us who grew up with them.
Hi Jordan. Great throw-back. This was fun. Enjoy your day. 🙂❤️
Instablaster...
Oh Jordan a trip down memory lane. I used to go to Woolworth’s with my mom and we would have a tuna sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes with brown gravy at the dinette. Loved going back to when times were simpler. Thank you...
Now, these are the kinds of places that I love to see. Americana man
When I was a little boy, Woolworth's had a wig shop right by the front entrance. The windows were crammed with wigs. There, my mother would drop off her wigs which were mounted on styrafoam heads. They would style them for her and she'd pick them up a day or two later. 2nd Day Wigs. Same day if you were in good with the stylist.
Jordan, I was one of those who became pumped when I saw this! Lots of memories shopping at Woolworths as a child. There was a similar store called J.J. Newberrys that I remember too. I had no idea there was a store like this in Bakersfield. Can’t wait to go and would love to have lunch there. Thanks so much for today’s very fascinating vlog!!
Oh Jordan, this is by far one of my most favorites of your vlogs. I could feel the memories floating back as I enjoyed your trip in Woolworths. I would have loved to have been with you and Breck. Thanks for the time spent there and perhaps one day soon you two can enjoy lunch at the counter. Love ya ! p.s. Hi to Breck !
So many memories flowed through . I used to go with my grandma . Have lunch and ice cream . I got my first tea set in Woolworth’s 🤣🤣
Thank you. I have not seen a Woolworth (or Kress) store in years. Brought back good memories. Enjoyed tour of store. (Belinda)
Margaret Davis ...did you guys have a McCrory’s as well?
@@raygxr8582 the other Kress store building in Bakersfield is on Niles. Was a Kress, then Mcrorys and after that a Bonanza 88, then Family Bargain Center and now, today it's a Mexican Craft store.
Wow Jordan, thanks for the memories! My grandparents used to take me once a month to the Woolworth's in our town in upstate NY. We'd always eat at the luncheonette where we'd have hot dogs with toasted grilled buns. I remember they also had an orange drink in a big glass machine that was always bubbling and "percolating"! Very cool memories....Thank you!
Oh yes I sure remember Woolworth back in Hawaii where I'm from ☺ This store was everything to me. Wish they had these stores today.
Vizun IP No there isn't any
Vizun IP You know I'm not sure
I loved the Woolworth in Hawaii!
Thank all that is good that someone has kept all this in place. I'm bummed that I didn't know this existed when we vacationed out west this past fall. We had a Woolworths in the mall I worked at until the mid 90's. It had a luncheonette as well. Thanks for the upload & thanks to the owners of that amazing building & store. I wish I owned it!
WOW! This brought back so many wonderful childhood memories! My mother worked at Kress when she 19. She's 80 now. My grandpa used to take me to Woolworths for lunch! So many recognizable items I remember way back. Loved, loved, loved this! Can't thank you enough, Jordan! It's always great to see Breck. ❤❤❤
We had a Woolworth store in the tiny middle of nowhere town I grew up in...but, it closed in the early 90s. It was fun to see that luncheonette! Nice to see the old building actually being taken care of. We have LOTS of old historic buildings but most of them are in disarray.
That was great Jordan! Boy, I miss Woolworths. I used to go into my home town branch as a kid to buy packs of postage stamps from around the world. I would buy candy in there, before going to watch the matinee at the movies on a Saturday afternoon. Great memories.
Oh by the way my favorite S &H green stamps. I had my little book and collected them to get free items. Oh the memories.....
Now we have loyalty cards😅
Hey there Jordan ❣️ I'm so glad you shared this with us. I had know idea that there was a Woolworth Diner still open, and hearing Summer Breeze🎶 in the background,wonderful memories I'm about 2 hours away, and looking, forward to a road trip 🍔🍟😛
The New York based FW Woolworth Company hadn’t trademarked their name in Australia, Percy decided to name his new shop the “Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement”. And it’s that store that became the Woolies we know today.
WOW! We are about a week behind on watching but I had to jump order to see this one right away. I'm glad we did, it brightened my mood and made me happy with the nostalgia that some people are keeping this historic building going. So many happy memories of Woolworth & SS Kresge. The inside is just like I remember them. The lunch counter was amazing . Thanks so much for going and documenting this for us all to see.
I have so many fond memories of Woolworths here in NYC in the late 1960's-1970's when I was a kid Especially during the Halloween and Christmas Season. Sad when they closed here in the early 90's.
Amen! I grew up in Yonkers with the 5&10's in the 60's and 70's!
Was great to see the old Woolworths. I remember shopping at my local Woolworths for Christmas decorations. They had everything you needed, not just decorations but everything and every type of department: clothes, sheets, candy, sewing items, kitchen items, records, and a pet department. I noticed the restroom sign. When you visit old places like these it can be interesting to see the bathrooms. Some are really great, resorted, vintage bathrooms.
When I was a child my grandmother and I would go up the street to catch a bus to take us downtown to go to Woolworths. I thought that store was so very grand! We also had the best mac and cheese ever! Ahhh....just reminiscing with precious memories!! Tfs!!!! Blessings!!
So much FUN!! Sweet Memories as a child! Christmas shopping with my Mom. The Woolworths lunch counter was our treat for Being Good!! I owned a good amount of the treasures you showed us!! Thanx Jordan. You’re the BEST!!
Thank you J-lion for this tour,I grew up with Woolworths also,Woolworths had some of the best grill cheese sandwiches back in the day ! I absolutely loved this vlog it brought back a lot of memories ! 😊👍
I remember the Woolworth's in Downtown Dayton, Ohio that I went to as a kid growing up there in the 70's. :)
I love Woolworth's! We use to go there and have the patty melt. I sure miss that store! Thanks for the vlog!
Every pay day my mom took my two brothers and me to fountain square (near Indianapolis in). We got a dime to spend at GC Murphys and Woolworths. Back then twenty cents bought a lot of penny candy!!
We had one at the Cerritos Mall for years.
I used to buy all my Hot Wheels cars at Woolworth in the '60s. They had the biggest selection where I finally found a Beatnik Bandit. The aquarium section was cool too.
There use to be a Woolworths on the downtown plaza of Santa Fe. Now half of its a five and dime and the diner part is gone. They cooked everything fresh.
Our wifi went down the other night so I had to talk to my wife. Turns out she doesn't work at Woolworths anymore!! I had no Idea
Thanks Jordan, I remember eating there many times when I was kid.
So do I. I still miss Woolworth.
Thank you so much for going to the Woolworth store Jordan. It brought back so many memories. I am unable to get out now, so your videos mean the world to me ❤😃
wow! Woolworths was my first job in 1970. Thanks for showing it. im going to take my daughter there she will love it.
I think almost everything in my hope chest came from Woolworths . So when I got my first place the kitchen especially was exactly like Kitty Forman's from That 70s Show . Love the architecture that building! I can just smell the cotton candy now. Thanks J.
Bakersfield... What a cool town! Great vlog!
Yep! Can't believe Jordan was here and I somehow missed this one before today!
That was AWESOME TY so many many memories. Please go back and get more.
We had a Woolworth's at our local mall. It was my favorite shop to go in. This video helps to bring back the memories.
Memories Memories Memories
Great vlog Jordan! "
Thanks for the Memories"
That was awesome. I love Woolworth's. I remember going to the luncheonette for a lime ricky with my mom in the 60's. Plus looking at the parakeets.
Bakersfield? Amazing! Great place! Now I know where to shop for Zombie-ware! 😱 "RAD!" My mom worked a counter when she was a teenager (1939)! Best root beer floats and hamburgers! Grandma took me to eat at a counter in a department store! Good ole daze! Yes, I'm old...er!
i love 50s nostalgia. this was excellent Jordan. Thank you. i share your enthusiasm
The Timeless Furnishings was at one time a regional chain of upscale department stores. There were three in Bakersfield at one time. And the large curved windowed building you passed on your way to Woolworth's was a JC Penney that probably still has the old elevator that had an operator who sat on a chair and turned a wheel and called out the floors. Bakersfield is a mecca for antique collectors or decorators as there are tons of antique stores - mostly in that general area of downtown.
Thanks for the awesome journey down memory lane, I live in NYC in the Bronx all my life but I tell you when they closed the Woolworths in my area I cried, my mother would bring us here back in the late 50s, so imagine that ,anyway love your videos .👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌✌😎
Loving old school memories!! Spent my youth at Woolworths!! Thanks Jordon! Binge watching your past videos!!
Did I miss the toys and Halloween costumes back in the days? Woolworth's always makes me think of my mother!😁👍
Love this reminds me of my childhood! Loved Woolworth in downtown Sacramento Ca on K street! No longer there! Thank you for this great reminder of my past!❤️
It's Now or Never by Elvis. My favorite song back in 63. The garden metal chairs were popular back then. Use to sit on them. Woolworths was a regular place my mom and I would be every Saturday. Loved going to the small ones because I often saw things that I find nostalgic. It was a sad day for me when they closed. What a GREAT place you visited. I could be there for days . Thanks for the memories!!!
Peace to you and Breck!!!
Awesome video Jordan. My wife and I remember when we were kids our mothers would take us there three or four times a month. That store was the Walmart of its time. You would buy everything from that store and before you went home you always had to get something from the Woolworth lunch counter usually ice cream or soda lol anyways today it's an antique store and I still go in there three or four times a year looking for fun stuff to buy😁😁😁😁😁 walking into that store takes me back 40 years.
I have great memories of Bakersfield in the 1950s. It was a wonderful place to be a kid. Lots of outdoor fun and very friendly and honest town. I returned some years later and discovered the Bakersfield sign had been moved after highway 99 was widened. The city gave it to Buck Owens and he restored it. It is now on Buck Owens Drive next to Crystal Palace.
I'm turning 61 this year and all of those things bring back so many memories for me. Grants, Greens and Woolworths were our 5&10 cent stores. They also made pretty good food too.
Cool, here in Asheville NC we have a former WoolWorth's with a lunch counter and booths of painting's/ antiques, too. It is called The WoolWorth Walk :)
Hi Jordan. This was great. I loved this vlog. I wanted the flatware, cuisinart, and the lamp with fake rain. Wow! That brought back memories. A friend of mine her mother had one and I was just perplexed with it. The architecture stands the test of time for sure. You knew where you were. The diner was really cool. Thanks again!
I miss our Woolworth... Especially the diner. They'd serve you the milkshake in a tall glass and give you the aluminum container with what was left over from mixing it up.
Woolsworth’s used to be in every strip mall in Cali! Is this the last?
Wow, what’s this world coming to?
I Miss Woolworths
When you go back try the club sandwich and milkshake.
Yes Jordan it does take me back to a simpler time. My mom used to park me and my twin sister at the lunch counter at Woolworths' with a drink and some fries while she shopped. She never worried about us because the people behind the counter knew who we were (neighbours) and they would watch out for us. The Metropolitan stores used to have a lunch counter similar to Woolworth's-do you remember that. So nostalgic thanks for sharing and as usual another fantastic vlog!
Awesome place. And the Kress sign across the street.
WOW that place is HUUGE!!!! I definitely need to check this place out, thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍 (Last Woolworth's I shopped at was in downtown Santa Cruz during my college years in 1993).
That was so much fun. Thank you for letting us go with you!!!
I could spend all day here. Absolutely Loved this!
Awesome video, Jordan! Brought back so many great memories of me and my little brother “shopping” at Woolworth’s in Baton Rouge when we were kids…it was such a special treat! Thank you! 🥰🙏
Meline
What an amazing place! Between the building and its design elements and finishing touches, the luncheonette and all the antique market merch...WOW!
There was a Monty Python episode (that took place in Scotland) that showed a building "Mc Woolworths" and a sign on the door "Mc Closed".
Great memory lane video, Jordan. I wish I had been there with you!
Funny, I mentioned the loss of Woolworth in an economic blog, 2 days ago. Loved the luncheonette! You better detail a great Sears store before they become extinct. Its coming!
Thanks for the memories..... Had one while growing up, and I specifically recall racing to town on a saturday for a chili do and fries..... I loved the way they toasted the bun. Good times.... I really enjoyed the vlog today. Any word on the sponsor you spoke of? Thanks for hanging out today..... See you tomorrow.... Arthur Childs, Oak Harbor, WA. 🙂
I LOVED!! This Video!!!.. Every Time We Went To The 'Shopping Center', We Went To Woolworths First To Eat!!!!.. Loved Shopping There!!!.. Also, I Love Antique Shopping!!!!.. Thank You For This Wonderful Video!!!!!
I loved Woolworth's! So sad when they closed. Cool antiques though!
Wow, I'm in the UK and all our Woolworth's closed down but I had no idea that you had them in the US as well!
Woolworths was American :-)
omg what memories...my grandparents used to take us to Woolworths in Houston, best fresh lime aide anywhere. LOL the stairs bring back the memory of one of my older brothers -.- gave me an atomic fireball when I was 4, and after the heat set in, I spit it all the way down the stairs, and my grandmother was soooo mad at him..hahaaaa
The Woolworth's that I remember well was in Keene, NH. In the 60's, they had an annual banana split special (I don't remember the exact month) in which balloons would be tied to a wire over the stools at the lunch counter. When you ordered a banana split, they would hand you a long stick with a pin on the end of it. You would then pop the balloon of your choice. A small strip of paper would flutter down with the price you had to pay. The regular price was 35 cents, so many of them read 34 cents. But there were also many nickel, dime, and yes, even 1 cent! I managed to snag a 1 cent banana split twice in one year in 1965!
Whoa...!! I would love to go in that place and see it in person . A lot of cool stuff !! Sorry you didn't get to eat at the diner . I hope you get to go back . Thanks for sharing this Jordan !!
This might be my favorite (non person related) vlog so far. We just walked through a time capsule of my childhood. How amazing. Thank u (and Breck ) for Doing this one. Soooo very cool 👍👍
Love this place it's like a ripple in time. Great building . Thanks for the memories.
This is fabulous because Woolworth’s was all over the US. It is nostalgic for certain. I would love to be there in person. So much cool stuff is there!!! Defiantly go back and have lunch and spend more time there Jordan. Awesomeness!!!Thank you💚
Great memory rush... thanks for sharing!
When I initially saw the title of this vlog, I was immediately, like, "WHAT?!?!!?". The reason being that I was born and raised in Watertown, NY, where I eventually came back to, and this is where Mr. F. W. Woolworth opened his first Woolworth's store. It is also where the very last Woolworth's was that closed. He is buried with hs family in our Brookside Cemetery, and the original Woolworth Building where he started his five and dime store still stands in our Public Square. Just my two cents. :)
I remeber Woolworths my favorite store as a kid they had everything birds, fish, toys, candy everything a kid could want and Hamburgers. LOVED GOING WITH MY GRANDMA.
The Kress Building is ALL Art Deco inside. Absolutely gorgeous
Yep as a little girl many trips downtown to eat and shop at Woolworths with my Mom or Aunt. How cool ... great memories for sure! A different world now... great to see one left! Thanks 😊
Wow. I remembered going with my mom and eating a grilled cheese sandwich with fries while she shopped 😁 Miss that place.
Neat vlog! I grew up with Woolworth's. In fact, F.W. Woolworth's 60 room mansion (now owned by the Careys) in my hometown of Glen Cove, N.Y., I passed by everyday. So neat that they kept the storefront and store there pretty much intact. So cool! Neatest antique place ever.
Really brings back memories. I was at one time on the FW Woolworths management training program. I met my wife there - she was hired to work in the luncheonette. We were married for 36 years, Unfortunately she passed away almost 5 years ago.
Wow!Brings back memories! My Mom would take us and we would get icecream soda at the counter!
Love antique marts. We have an antiques center near me. I spend lots of time there just looking.
The building looks so clean and neat. It has been well taken care of.
Been through but never stopped in Bakersfield. Only remember the Woolworths on Powel/Market in SF and dipped there the last years it was in operation. Do recall Newberrys and others but this lunch counter area was massive, cool decor! Loved seeing the building plus all the old toss aways that others regard as treasures. Fun vlog, worth a trip there just to check out & soak in the atmosphere, maybe even order a club sammy/fries and a coke. If you are ever further north check out Niles Canyon, Chaplin, Bronco Billy history and some more antique shops.😎Yay Jah!!!!
Wow its awesome seeing an Woolworth. I grew up with my grandparents and this was our to go place for everything. Thanks for refreshing my mind and bringing back my youth years almost 46 years!!! Thanks for the blog it's breathtaking!!
So awesome....thank you for showing this. What a great way to utilize this space. Yup....my childhood..takes me back.
Too cool. My mom worked in a Woolworth’s in Virginia. Loved this vlog so much. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
My mom and I used to take the bus to Santa Monica to where the Promenade is now where there used to be a Woolworths among other places...when I went to New Zealand I found a grocery store named Woolworths. Love following along with you on your vlogs! Well done! ☺🖐🎵🎶🎵
Thank you Jordan for your awesome vlogs!! I'm totally fascinated by all of your videos that I've watched on TH-cam! I have to make myself stop watching them, I watch them for hours! Lol! I'm so intrigue by them, you do such a excellent job! They are so personable and impressive! I love old Hollywood movies my favorites are movies with Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Liz Taylor and many more! Thank you for all the videos you did on them. You really took me down memory lane! To top it all was the one you did on Woolworth!!! I would love to go the Bakerfield Ca and shop till I drop! Thank u and pls continue doing what you are doing, you were born for this!!🤗❤
WOW! I grew up with Woolworth's! Thanks for vlogging this! There used to be one on the 3rd St Promenade that I loved going to. Thanks for doing th 2-hour drive to Bakersfield to preserve this for us!
Got a charge out of the Ben-Hur, Mace!!!
I'll have to watch this again. Love antiques!
Jordan this vlog brought back a lot of childhoods memories of the woolworth store, awesome vlog thumbs up
Love love love this!!! Just put this on my bucket list!!!
Another cool vlog filled with treasured memories for me. Thanks Jordan!
I live in Bakersfield,Ca and love going there to thrift for antiques and if we have time we get lunch at the lunch counter. And did someone who loves the past, I’m never bored there
That's funny! Sally just sent out a picture of Woolworths a couple-three weeks ago on face book asking if we remembered Woolworths. I have fond memories of a high school friend who would drive us over to the Piqua Mall where we would shop around and have lunch at Woolworths. The food was great and the store had a little bit of everything and anything! Loved that store!
Great job, Jordan. Thanks for doing this one.
Always loved our Woolworth's in Feasterville Shopping Center with the Food Fair anchor store in Lower Bucks Co.,PA.!!The lunch counter and my favorite spot...the record section!!The 39 cent/3for $1 bagged 45s!!!Sweet!!!!!
