GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Carry a piece of regional retail history with this SUN Super Saving Centers quarter zip pullover. Founded in 1949, Sun Television and Appliances served city neighborhoods and rural communities with electronics, home appliances, and office equipment. A proposed acquisition in 1996 gave way to bankruptcy and liquidation by the end of 1998, closing a distinctive chapter in American retail. This piece brings the store name into everyday wear for collectors and anyone drawn to the story of a community retailer.

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.
