Channel Title: Post-Mortar - The Retail History Show Channel Description: Welcome to Post-Mortar, where we take a look into the history of defunct retailers. Created by Alex Nuelle. In my experience, the lore of a company is much more interesting than the math. The story of its people and its customers paints a more complete narrative. If you agree, then this show is for you! "The Postmortem Clause" -- Stores covered on this channel must have no official location in the United States. As for shopping centers, they must be closed or demolished. Once published, videos will not be taken down if the 'defunct status' of their subject has changed. Thanks for watching! <video> Sam Goody: An American Music Standard - Post-Mortar Description: Growing up with the modern music industry, Sam Goody gave countless customers the pleasure of a good deal and a positive shopping experience. Over the years, the chain deviated from these initial values. What happened? That's what we take a look at today -- how a king among record stores, a gold standard of music retail, became a hollow, overpriced shell of its former self. (This is a reupload of an older video.

For travelers on Route 66, it was a country-wide attraction from its opening in the late 1950s, thru to the 1980s, when the dream began to fall apart. They took every step to keep their relevance, expanding the plaza multiple times, eventually even enclosing the strip into a mega mall, but to no avail. How did this landmark in retail history become no more than a dirt mound? Learn the history of Crestwood Plaza: The Ultra Mall That Had It All.

Walmart, Kmart, Target — you name any chains, and they all can thank Ann & Hope for their prosperity. The same goes for its founder, the late Martin Chase, who was referred to as "The Father of Discounting" and highly respected by industry titans like Sam Walton. Dubbed the "Granddaddy of all discounters," the rise of Ann & Hope was a meticulously planned affair, and its fall came much too early. Learn the history of this historic company here on Post-Mortar - The Retail History Show. A special thanks to all those who stayed engaged with this channel and kept their hopes up during this recent period of drought.

As they ventured further into specialty retail, starting with their buyout of Hit or Miss in '69, Zayre's "Fabulous Dept. Stores" began to drop in quality. It ultimately gave way to a new business model, altogether, and not a moment too soon. With Zayre, the best was yet to come...

Description

Welcome to Post-Mortar, where we take a look into the history of defunct retailers.
Created by Alex Nuelle.

In my experience, the lore of a company is much more interesting than the math. The story of its people and its customers paints a more complete narrative. If you agree, then this show is for you!

"The Postmortem Clause" -- Stores covered on this channel must have no official location in the United States. As for shopping centers, they must be closed or demolished. Once published, videos will not be taken down if the 'defunct status' of their subject has changed.

Thanks for watching!
