The Self Referential Thread

No, they aren't. The biggest, Macy's, is both more expensive and less friendly to shop in than it used to be. 🙁

I have a vague memory from childhood that those stores started out as "Two Guys from Harrison" because the two owners were from Harrison, New Jersey. 😀 😛

Is that real big toy store still in NYC? I can't remember the name sadly 😀 😛
 
Yes! That memory was accurate. 😀 😛

Two Guys was a discount store primarily operating in the New York metropolitan area and headquartered in northern New Jersey until the early 1980s. It was founded in 1946 in Harrison, New Jersey by brothers Sidney Hubschman and Herbert Hubschman as Two Guys from Harrison. The company originally sold major appliances such as televisions.

In 1959, the company acquired O.A. Sutton Corp., manufacturers of electric fans, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. The merged company was renamed Vornado, Inc., after O.A. Sutton's Vornado line of appliances. At its peak, there were more than 100 Two Guys locations nationwide, including Upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, and Maryland.

As Vornado's commercial fortunes declined throughout the mid-to-late 1970s, they began selling off Two Guys stores to various companies. In late 1980, Vornado (later renamed to Vornado Realty Trust) was acquired by Interstate Properties, Inc. after Interstate won a proxy fight. Interstate began the process of liquidating its Two Guys outlets, which had posted a loss of $20 million for the first half of 1981.

You're welcome. I found it somewhat amazing the the extra phrase "from Harrison" just popped into my mid when I thought about Two Guys. Amazing the way the mind works. 😀 😛
