A Woolco at a Calgary mall somewhere in 1975? Westbrook?

Woolco could have been the old Macleod Mall too.
Hard to believe that the Met and Kresge were considered anchor stores. I guess because they were there since the beginning, but they were larger Saan stores that smelled like the plastic shoes they sold. The Met had a lunch counter too. Even as a kid in the 80s, it was hard to understand why there would be a junk store next to a cool store like a toy store or a place like Birks.
The Sears was massive originally...in the pre Reno, there was escalators from the mall down into the main level of Sears.
