Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of American retail history into your daily routine with this McCrory Stores tumbler. From John McCrorey's first Pennsylvania store in 1882, the company grew into a large chain known for clothing, housewares, toys, fabrics, cosmetics, penny candy, and lunch counters. Its many store names and changing fortunes make McCrory a compelling subject for retail-history fans. Remember a once-familiar shopping destination and the everyday culture it helped shape.
John McCrorey opened his first store in Scottdale, Pennsylvania, in 1882, and the J. G. McCrory Company had five Pennsylvania stores by 1885. McCrorey later dropped the final e from his surname for store-sign lettering. In 1915 the business became McCrory Stores Corporation. It grew into a five-and-dime retailer selling goods such as clothing, shoes, housewares, fabrics, toys, cosmetics, and penny candy, often with a lunch counter or snack bar. In 1933, amid the Great Depression, the company entered bankruptcy protection, was dissolved, and was eventually re-established. Meshulam Riklis purchased McCrory in 1960 and combined it with H. L. Green; headquarters moved to Springettsbury Township, Pennsylvania, in 1963. Acquisitions included J.J. Newberry in 1972, S.H. Kress in 1981, TG&Y in 1985, and G.C. Murphy in 1989. At its height, McCrory operated about 1,300 stores under multiple names. Changing retail competition brought closures and financial distress: it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1992 and again in 2001. Liquidation of remaining stores was announced in December 2001, and McCrory Stores ceased operation in February 2002.
