Product Details & Size Guide
Bring a piece of regional retail history to your next gathering with this SUN Super Saving Centers pint glass. Sun Television and Appliances began in 1949, serving city neighborhoods and rural communities with electronics, appliances, and office equipment. Its proposed sale in 1996 and liquidation by the end of 1998 marked the close of a familiar name in American retail. This glass makes a thoughtful conversation starter for collectors of store history and anyone who remembers shopping at Sun.
Sun Television and Appliances was a specialty retailer of consumer electronics, home appliances, and office equipment. Founded in 1949 by brothers Macy and Herbie Block, it operated stores in cities across the Midwest as well as in rural communities where there was no other competition. Its reported operating area included Ohio, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky. In late 1996, Indiana-based H.H. Gregg Appliances and Electronics arranged to buy Sun in an $87.5 million deal, offering $5 per share for Sun's 17.5 million outstanding shares. H.H. Gregg withdrew over concerns about Sun's financial condition. Sun filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 1998. After efforts to sell the company as a going concern failed, it converted to Chapter 7 liquidation and ceased operations by the end of 1998. H.H. Gregg purchased some former Sun locations and reopened them under its own name, marking a transition for those stores from the regional retailer to a successor operator.
A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
