Celebrate the changing story of American bargain retail with this Pic 'N' Save Corporation T-shirt. William Zimmerman founded the company in Culver City in 1950, and by 1985 its chain included 90 California stores and locations in six other states. The Pic 'N' Save name gave way to MacFrugals in 1991, followed by an acquisition in 1997 and conversion of the remaining stores to Big Lots in 2002. A wearable nod to California roots, retail history, and a brand name that returned in 2020.
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.
