Founded in 1962 as an evolution of the Bowers department stores, Sky City grew from its Asheville base to serve communities across the Southeast. The chain’s name recalled Asheville’s “Land of the Sky” identity, and its story reflects the rise of regional discount retail. A thoughtful pick for collectors, former shoppers, and anyone drawn to local business history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSky City was a regional discount-store chain based in Asheville, North Carolina. Its name referred to “Land of the Sky,” a nickname for Asheville popularized in the 20th century. The chain began in 1962 as an evolution of Bowers department stores, founded in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1919. Retail executive M.C. Peterson, who became Bowers president in 1948 and moved its headquarters to Asheville that year, developed Sky City as a self-service, multi-department store offering discounted name-brand goods and free parking. After its Asheville flagship doubled in size by 1963, the chain added Hickory in 1964 and High Point in 1965. Sky City merged with St. Louis-based Interco, Inc. in 1977 while retaining operational independence and its Asheville headquarters. By 1982 it had more than 70 stores across five Southeastern states. A 1990 restructuring closed 20 of 55 stores. Interco sold the chain in 1991 to an investor group led by chief executive Harvey Yellen, which formed Sky City Holding Corp. Five new stores and Asheville facilities were planned, but in January 1991 Yellen announced that all remaining stores had closed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Unstructured 6-panel body for a relaxed, low-profile fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Permacurv® precurved visor with 4-row stitching and color-matched underbill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Self-fabric hideaway strap with antique brass buckle and grommet for adjustable fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% cotton construction (Green Camo variant 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sewn-in label and brand sticker on visor; adult sizing (not for ages 0–3)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water and dish soap and clean spots off your hat.
