Add a small reminder of regional shopping history to your collection with this SUN Super Saving Centers square porcelain fridge magnet. Founded in 1949 as Sun Television and Appliances, the retailer served urban and rural communities with electronics, home appliances, and office equipment. Its proposed sale in 1996, bankruptcy filing in 1998, and liquidation by year's end help explain why the company name interests collectors today. Display it at home or give it to someone who remembers the stores and their place in American retail.
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.
