GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Wear a name remembered by collectors of regional retail history with this SUN Super Saving Centers polo shirt. Founded in 1949 as Sun Television and Appliances, the retailer served city and rural shoppers with electronics, appliances, and office equipment. A proposed sale in 1996 fell through, and bankruptcy and liquidation brought operations to a close in 1998. Whether worn for casual outings or added to a collection of store-era memorabilia, this piece celebrates the story of a retailer that connected communities across several states.
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.
