Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate a remembered regional retailer with this SUN Super Saving Centers T-shirt. Founded in 1949 by brothers Macy and Herbie Block, Sun Television and Appliances sold electronics, home appliances, and office equipment across city and rural markets. A proposed acquisition in late 1996 was followed by a Chapter 11 filing in September 1998 and liquidation by year's end. The company's story and the reuse of some former locations by a successor retailer make this a meaningful choice for former shoppers and collectors of American retail history.
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.
