GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
This Uptons youth hoodie sweatshirt celebrates a regional department store story worth remembering. The chain began at Roswell Mall in 1985, expanded through acquisitions in 1987 and 1996, and served shoppers across seven states from its Atlanta-area roots. Uptons closed in 1999, with final stores gone by 2000, but the name remains connected to family shopping memories, mall culture, and Southeastern retail history. A thoughtful choice for young collectors and family outings.
Uptons was an Atlanta-based department store chain serving the Southeastern United States. Its first store opened in 1985 at Roswell Mall in Roswell, Georgia, followed by two additional stores elsewhere in Atlanta. Growth accelerated in 1987 when Uptons acquired 14 stores from Meyers-Arnold of Greenville, South Carolina. The chain later expanded again through the 1996 acquisition of 37 locations from the Florida-based J. Byrons department store chain. In 1997, Uptons moved its headquarters from Norcross, a suburb of metropolitan Atlanta, to the nearby Peachtree Corners area in Technology Park Atlanta. Stores operated in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. In July 1999, owner American Retail Group concluded that continuing the chain was too costly. Uptons was closed in 1999, and by 2000 the final stores had shut down, ending a chain that had reached 75 locations.
