We’re not quite sure why it was called “Woops,” but it was likely a very popular fashion store back in the ‘70s.

The ladies wear store was in the old Richmond Square Mall (now Richmond Centre) when this shot was taken in 1971.

Did you ever shop there? If yes, drop us a line and let us know why it was named Woops.
