Tee. Bet ee te te Le Oe Me a ae a | Woolco store opens tomorrow j ; ~ <m £ ti : , ro, bog ---- tat fate. Area residents will have an opportunity to sample a new shopping experience tomorrow when the new Woolco Catalogue Store opens for business in Midland at the Huronia Mall. The Woolco Catalogue Store operation is division of the worldwide Woolworth organization and the new Midland store will be the company's 21st catalogue store in Canada and the fifth store to open in a six store expansion program for 1980. The catalogue store shopping concept began in the United States several years ago and has also had success in Canada. Woolco produces a 252 page full colour catalogue containing 4,655 items that is distributed to every household in the area. All items. are in stock, unless they are tem- porarily unavailable from the manufacturer, says manager Don Keck. Customers make a selection from the catalogue, either at home or from catalogues in the store, enter the code number of the item on forms provided in the store, pay for their purchase, and pick up their selection. Because the operating costs of the stores are kept toa minimum, the selling price of the catalogue items is heavily discounted. For bargain conscious customers who are prepared to surrender personal service for low prices, these values are outstanding, Woolco says. The remarkable growth of catalogue shopping stores is ample evidence that more and more customers are willing to make this tradeoff, adds Woolco. The new store will have a total of eight employees when it opens tomorrow, four of whom will be on hand at any one time. The new store under the management of Don Keck is slightly over 800 square feet in area. Keck comes to Midland from the Woolco Catalogue Store in Brampton. This is his fourth transfer since 1977. "Our job," Keck says, "'is to have the item in stock when the customer arrives."' "This has been one of the criticisms of catalogue store shoppers in other outlets,' he added, "and we are determined to see that it doesn't happen in Woolco."' Catalogue shopping Woolworth management believes catalogue shopping is an expanding market with huge potential, especially in the current in- flationary cycle that puts considerable pressure on the purchasing power of many Canadian consumers. "Even in a booming economy,' the Woolworth spokesman said, "'everyone still enjoys a bargain." Opening day tomorrow Midland Woolco Catalogue Store employee Eva Fairhall and Manager Don Keck glance through the Woolco catalogue during a quiet minute. Over time. 4,000 items are listed in the catalogue and stocked in the store.
