SUN Super Saving Centers Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Product Details & Size Guide
Wear a reminder of Sun Television and Appliances, the retailer founded by brothers Macy and Herbie Block in 1949. Sun served shoppers across city and rural markets with electronics, home appliances, and office equipment. A proposed acquisition in late 1996 fell through, and the company filed for bankruptcy in September 1998 before ceasing operations by year’s end. This heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt connects a practical wardrobe piece with the history of a regional store name remembered by customers and retail collectors.
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.
