GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give your phone a place to rest while keeping a piece of New England retail history in view. This Stuarts Department Stores display stand recalls a chain founded in 1957 that expanded across every New England state, with its main focus in Massachusetts. The company experimented with private-label merchandise and store redesign as it grew, leaving a distinctive story for collectors of department-store names and regional business history. It is a useful nod to the shoppers who remember Stuarts and the communities it served.
Stuarts Department Stores Inc. was founded in New England in 1957. By the time it incorporated in Delaware in 1983, the regional clothing and housewares retailer operated in every New England state, with its main focus in Massachusetts. During the 1980s and 1990s, the chain sought to move beyond its reputation as a reseller of leftover department-store merchandise by investing in its own label. It also spent heavily on a cosmetic overhaul of its properties, adopting a color scheme compared in the source to Bradlees. The company expanded rapidly to 26 outlets, including through its purchase of Harry's of Barre, Vermont, and built a major distribution and office complex in Franklin, Massachusetts. Corporate management instability accompanied these changes, while store-level sales and inventory processes remained manual. Stuarts filed for Chapter 11 protection in December 1990, emerged in October 1992, and filed again in May 1995. It went out of business shortly afterward. Joseph Ettore was identified as president and CEO in 1989.
