Lamonts Double-Sided Keychain Charm
Keep a small reminder of Pacific Northwest retail history close at hand with this Lamonts Double-Sided Keychain Charm. The brand took shape in 1970, when Pay 'n Save renamed suburban Rhodes stores, carrying forward a Seattle department-store story that began with Albert J. Rhodes in 1907. Lamonts later became a familiar presence in shopping centers across the region. This keepsake suits former customers, mall-history fans, and collectors tracing the names and changes behind local stores.
Lamonts was a Seattle-founded department store chain launched in 1970, when Pay 'n Save renamed its suburban Rhodes stores. Rhodes began in Seattle in 1907, founded by Albert J. Rhodes, and later expanded to University Village in 1956, Bellevue's Crossroads Mall in July 1964, and Lake Forest Park in October 1964. Pay 'n Save acquired Rhodes in 1967 and Bell's of Burien in 1968; the stores became Lamonts, with the Burien store retaining the Bell's name alongside Lamonts until 1974. Lamonts remained a Pay 'n Save division until 1985, then came under Northern Pacific Corp. and was sold to Dallas-based Aris Corp. in 1989. Expansion and financial troubles led to Chapter 11 filings in 1995 and 2000. Gottschalks acquired 34 of the 38 remaining stores in 2000 and converted them to its own name. Gottschalks announced liquidation of its remaining locations on March 31, 2009. The original downtown Rhodes store was demolished in 2003.
