Remember the department store that helped shape downtown Scranton with this Globe Store hoodie or sweatshirt. Established in 1883, the business served local shoppers with dry goods, clothing, and furnishings before becoming known for its fashion selection, large windows, and Charl-Mont restaurant. Its Wyoming Avenue location witnessed generations of shopping and a changing retail landscape. From local family stewardship to its 1994 closure, the Globe Store remains a meaningful part of regional memory for former customers and Scranton history enthusiasts.
The Globe Store was a regional department store in Scranton, Pennsylvania, founded in 1883 by John Simpson and John Clelland. Its early business offered dry goods, clothing, and furnishings. The Scranton store occupied the Cleland, Simpson & Taylor building on Wyoming Avenue; that original building was destroyed by fire on March 17, 1889. The store later became known for large display windows, a broad fashion selection, and the Charl-Mont restaurant, which was later converted to cafeteria service. The founding families operated the business until 1979, a decade after it became a division of John Wanamaker. In 1978, Carter Hawley Hale acquired Wanamaker and the Globe division. Following takeover battles, the company sold them to Woodward & Lothrop, which sold the Globe to local investors in 1989. Competition from suburban malls and retail consolidation contributed to financial difficulties. After filing for bankruptcy just after New Year's Day in 1994, the store closed in April, following the layoff of 400 workers and the seizure of its assets by PNC Bank. The former store building was converted to offices. In 2016, Lackawanna County announced plans to relocate county offices there; by 2019, county government had moved in while restoration continued.
