Carry a piece of American closeout retail history with a Pic 'N' Save backpack. Founded by William Zimmerman in Culver City in 1950, the company grew into one of the nation’s largest chains of its kind. Its story continued through the MacFrugals name, a 1997 acquisition, and the 2002 conversion of remaining stores to Big Lots. For collectors, the changing names and California roots make this a distinctive way to remember a familiar bargain-shopping brand.
William Zimmerman founded Pic 'N' Save Corporation in Culver City, California, in 1950. The closeout retailer grew to become, at one time, the second-largest chain of its kind in the United States. By 1985, it operated 90 stores in California and six other states. In 1991, the company changed its name to MacFrugals and later expanded into the Southwest and the South, markets it left in the late 1990s. Financial troubles led to many store closures in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 1997, Consolidated Stores Corporation acquired the remaining MacFrugals stores for $995 million in stock. In 2002, Consolidated Stores, by then known as Big Lots, converted those stores to the Big Lots brand. The article distinguishes this business from an unrelated Pic-N-Save chain based in northeast Florida. It also reports that Pic 'N' Save returned as a bargain store in 2020. By 2023, that name was used at locations in Anaheim and Whittier, California; the Anaheim location closed in 2024, leaving Whittier as the sole remaining location.
