History's Dumpster = GLORIOUS trash! Kitsch, music, fashion, food, history, ephemera, and other memorable and forgotten, famous and infamous pop culture junk and oddities of yesterday and today. Saved from the landfill of time...
Local VO Insert: "Available at Woolworth, Woolco, Kresge, McCrory, McClellan, Caldor, Bradlees, Hills, Zayre, Fedco, Gemco, and select Ben Franklin stores."
Don't forget Korvette's along with the half-zillion other East Coast/Midwest discount and department store chains you mentioned that never had franchises here in the Seattle area. (We never had a Kresge store. Or a Woolco, but we did have their national chains, Kmart and Woolworth's respectively in nearly every other zip code.)
I've only seen a few Ben Franklin stores here. But they were mostly craft stores with a few household items and they were in really small towns and far too remote for the Seattle area shopper. I think they're all gone now.
