Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
MainStreet opened in Chicago in November 1983 and grew from seven stores to 29 locations across four states. The chain brought its department-store format to the Metro Detroit area in 1986 before its 1988 sale to Kohl’s. Most locations became Kohl’s stores in March 1989, turning MainStreet into a remembered name for many shoppers. This hoodie / sweatshirt connects that local retail history with a familiar brand identity for collectors and anyone interested in how store names change over time.
MainStreet was a Chicago-based department store chain launched in November 1983 by Federated Department Stores, now known as Macy's, Inc. It began with seven stores in the Chicago area and grew during the 1980s to 29 locations across Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Minnesota. The chain targeted middle-market shoppers, focusing primarily on softlines. Its stores paired a racetrack-style layout with checkouts distributed around the store, combining features associated with discount retail and traditional department stores. The first locations beyond the Chicago area opened around Metro Detroit in 1986. After Campeau Corporation acquired Federated, it sold MainStreet to reduce debt connected with the buyout. Kohl's acquired the chain in 1988 for $90 million and converted most MainStreet locations to the Kohl's name in March 1989. The MainStreet identity also endured in the name of MainStreet Square, a Downers Grove plaza whose sign retained the name into the 2000s. The former MainStreet-anchored site is now occupied by a Kohl's store.
