I was down there several times but never for work. Pogue's was one of the pioneers of having ground floor cookware/kitchen department, with a cooking school, wine, gourmet food, etc etc. It was a way to make sense of their footprint, which was two separated spaces which connected on the upper levels. They had traditional cosmetics etc on one side, and this "Fifth Street Market" on the other side. The buyers for it stayed in Cincinnati even as buying for all other departments moved with Ayres to Indianapolis...they were able to be the "subject matter experts" for enhancing the kitchen/epicure/wine business for Ayres. I took my mom to a cooking class once there when she was in town for a visit. There was a doyenne of Cincinnati cookery (her name escapes me, but she was the expert on cooking--not quite to the extent of Betty Feezor in Charlotte which has been mentioned before. She was their resident cooking teacher. Working out at Tri-County, it was a "B" class store--A stores were downtown and Kenwood and had slightly higher level merchandise/deeper selections; Northgate and Tri-County were B stores, Florence was a C store (smaller, more limited selection). In Indianapolis, downtown and Glendale were A, rest were B; Louisville, Oxmoor was A, rest were B or C. I think there was an A store in Fort Wayne, with the other store a C; other rural Indiana stores were either B or C. Gawd what comes back after 34 years. My employee number was 33459.
