GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
White Front began as a neighborhood grocery in Los Angeles in 1929 and grew into a western chain spanning California, Washington, and Oregon. Its rise from food retail to appliances and broader merchandise, followed by store closures and new uses for many locations, gives the name a lasting place in regional business history. These golf balls bring that story to the course and make a distinctive choice for golfers with an interest in department-store memories, West Coast retail, or White Front collecting.
White Front began in 1929 as Harry Blackman’s small White Front Market on South Central Avenue in Florence, Los Angeles. Starting with groceries, the business added radios and household appliances, then opened a major-appliance shop after Blackman returned from military service following World War II. By 1954 it was known as White Front Stores, with a broader range of goods. A second store opened in Van Nuys in 1957. Interstate Department Stores acquired the two-store chain in April 1959 and financed rapid expansion across California. White Front later opened stores in Washington, beginning in Seattle in 1967, and in Portland, Oregon, in 1970. At its mid-1972 peak, the chain had 37 stores in three states. Interstate announced in December 1972 that 21 stores would close; the remaining discount stores and appliance centers closed after Interstate sought Chapter 11 reorganization in May 1974. Former locations passed to a range of retailers, including Valu-Mart/Leslie’s, J.C. Penney’s The Treasury, Gold Circle, and Mervyn’s. Some independent pharmacies retained the White Front name, but were unrelated to the former chain.
Get your audience in the zone with these personalized golf balls. Available in budget-friendly six packs, these golf balls are made with 100% surlyn. Your artwork, photos, or names go on all six balls, in vivid detail and color.
