Last year more than 800 million customers shopped at Woolworth's Western Hemisphere stores (which include those in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and Canada), spent $865 million for such traditional wares as 25 million growing plants, 17 million hair nets, and 75 million greeting cards. Woolworth's is the world's largest private server of food, last year cooked 6,100,000 Ibs. of beef, poured 109 million cups of coffee.
