Bring home a reminder of Pic 'N' Save Corporation, the Culver City closeout retailer founded in 1950. Its growth across California and six other states was followed by a name change to MacFrugals, financial setbacks, and the conversion of remaining stores to Big Lots in 2002. The story did not end there: Pic 'N' Save was reported back as a bargain-store name in 2020. This hoodie or sweatshirt connects everyday wear with a distinctive story of retail growth and reinvention.
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.
