{"product_id":"federated-group-tough-phone-case","title":"Federated Group Tough Phone Case","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarry a reminder of Federated Group's bold retail era with a phone case celebrating the electronics chain's history. Wilfred Schwartz founded the company in Los Angeles in 1970, and its large-format stores later expanded across California, Texas, and Arizona. The memorable Fred R. Rated campaign gave the brand a distinctive place in television advertising. For collectors of regional retail history and anyone nostalgic for the changing store landscape of the 1970s and 1980s, this design keeps that story close at hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFederated Group was an American consumer electronics retailer founded by Wilfred Schwartz in 1970. Schwartz began the business after buying a 25,000-square-foot warehouse in Los Angeles and converting part of it into a store. In 1976, the company closed two locations and built a 20,000-square-foot store in Westminster, California, described as a superstore because of its size. The chain later added stores and expanded rapidly after becoming publicly traded in 1984, including a major move into Texas. By December 1984 it operated 25 stores; by 1985, 40 stores across California, Texas, and Arizona. Its headquarters were in City of Commerce, California, and later Sunnyvale. Known for humorous television advertising featuring Shadoe Stevens as Fred R. Rated, Federated Group reached 67 stores by 1987, when it was the fourth-largest U.S. consumer electronics discounter. It was sold in 1987 for US$67.3 million. In 1989, 26 stores in Los Angeles and San Diego were sold to Silo; the remaining stores held liquidation sales and closed in 1990. The former Federated locations reopened under the Silo name that year. Silo later closed some of those stores in 1994 and shut all its locations after filing for bankruptcy in 1995.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable Lexan\/polycarbonate shell with glossy full-color finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Flexible TPU interior liner for shock absorption and impact dispersion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lay-flat bezel that protects the screen from small scratches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-protected surface resists outdoor weathering and color fading\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Supports wireless charging; two-piece design for secure fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean with damp cotton or microfiber cloth.
