The Woodward's Food Floor, which later became the Woodward's World of Food.
When Woodward's was in its death spiral, the first thing they sold off was their grocery stores, to Safeway. Then, they later sold off their main stores to HBC.
It's not as obvious now, but you could always tell a former Woodward's store when you went into a mall and there was a Bay/Zellers store with a nearby Safeway store (often a shared or adjacent entrance). Chinook was like that until they closed the Safeway to build the theatres.
