Established in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1945, the discount retailer grew from a local business into a chain with stores in 18 states. Its peak of 119 stores came in 1970, followed by a difficult contraction that ended with the liquidation of its final ten stores in early 1975. This travel mug honors a documented chapter of American retail, with connections to Play World and a history that rewards a closer look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArlan's was an American discount store chain founded in 1945 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, by William, Herbert, and Lester Palestine. The company grew across the United States: in 1965 it opened its 50th store in Cudahy, Wisconsin, and had locations in 18 states, from Maine to Colorado. At that time, it reported $174 million in revenue and owned 18 Play World toy stores. Arlan's reached a peak of 119 stores in 1970, but losses mounted. The article links those losses in part to expansion across a geographic area too broad for the chain's scale, which made distribution inefficient. In 1971, Arlan's sold 16 stores to Target and considered, but did not then pursue, bankruptcy. After co-founder Herbert Palestine resigned, the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 1973 with 73 stores. A Christmas-season sales effort that year failed, and 38 more stores closed by January 1974. The bankruptcy was converted to Chapter 10, and the company continued to contract. By court order, Arlan's liquidated its final ten stores in early 1975.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e40oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e9.84\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth with handle, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e5.79\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.02\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Leak-proof push-on lid with easy latch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-wall stainless steel insulation for long temperature retention\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Large 40oz capacity with included straw and ergonomic handle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable powder-coated finish with UV-DTF printed design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- BPA-free materials; hand wash recommended\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean in dishwasher (put the product on top rack), or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polar Camel, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clean in dishwasher (put the product on top rack), or wash  by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"40oz \/ Dark Gray","offer_id":54767708274972,"sku":"25761979720726023681","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40oz \/ Olive Green","offer_id":54767708307740,"sku":"11236584699154660902","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40oz \/ Black","offer_id":54767708340508,"sku":"12905349505993270446","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40oz \/ Teal","offer_id":54767708373276,"sku":"27172106780685886043","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40oz \/ White","offer_id":54767708406044,"sku":"75703380533422369838","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/3492955189352134004_2048.jpg?v=1793077026","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/arlans-40oz-insulated-travel-mug-stainless-tumbler","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
