Set up a phone and revisit the history of Shoppers Fair, the discount department store chain founded in Bridgeport in 1956. Its growth reached 35 stores in 12 states by 1962, with nine locations in Michigan. The company also became part of Detroit-area retail history through its 1971 agreement to acquire eight closed stores. This foldable phone display stand makes a useful everyday reminder of regional shopping and the communities that watched the chain expand and eventually close by 1975.
Shoppers Fair was an American discount department store chain founded in 1956 with a store in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The chain was owned by New York City-based Mangel and primarily operated in Michigan. By 1962, it had become a Mangel subsidiary, with 35 stores in 12 states, including nine in Michigan. In 1971, Shoppers Fair agreed to acquire eight stores that Borman's Inc. had closed in the Detroit metropolitan area because they were unprofitable. One of these, in Roseville, had never opened under its previous operator, Yankee Stores. Shoppers Fair also figured in two name-related lawsuits, in 1960 and 1964; both rulings favored the other businesses involved. Mangel filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 1974, when it had 46 Shoppers Fair stores and 94 clothing stores operating as Mangels. By December 1974, all Shoppers Fair stores in Detroit had closed. The chain's ten remaining stores went out of business by 1975, ending its retail history.
