What is your favorite Department Store?

[kevin313]

Long gone the days of department stores....

...and how I miss those grand old places!

The greatest department store was J.L. Hudson's here in Detroit. They sold everything. Their service was outstanding. They stood behind their merchandise.

The department stores I find myself in most these days are Kohl's and Sears - they both have great sales.

Dillard's

99% of my pants and shorts I pick up at thrift stores, Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. However, my polos, dress shirts and dress clothes I get at Dillard's. I used to enjoy shoping at Belk but their quality has gone down the toilet as their prices have gone thru the roof. I buy my underwear from JCPenney, socks and ties at Ross, shoes at two local shoe stores named Newton's Shoes and GB Shoe Wearhouse. I shop Lands'End Eddie Bauer catalogues, and linens come from Ross or TJMaxx now that the Westpoint-Stevens Factory Store in no more. The last time I ordered polo shirts from LL Bean I was very disappointed and I have not ordered anything from them in years.

Another Vote for JC Penney

A large portion of my clothing, bed linens and the like come from JCP. I loved the Bon Marche back in the day, but Macy's isn't the same. I rarely shop there. I remember the old days when you had Lamont's, Mervyn's, Frederick & Nelson (I liked them), and Miller's (a local dept store in southern Oregon). Shopping was more fun back then.

Nowadays, if I don't have to see it or try it on first, it's usually Amazon or Wal-Mart online.

The majority of my clothes have come from Sam's Club.  A few from Wally World.  And a few from Academy.  I've not set foot in macy's (used to be Foley's in Texas) in YEARS!!!  Allen, I have two blue mesh collanders I got at Mervyns near Willowbrook Mall, so that means I got them before 1986 when I was moved here.

GAYFERS

When I lived in baltimore,Maryland,my favorite store was the Hecht Company where they had their own line of major appliances named Duracrest made by either Kelvinator and/or Leonard.When I moved to Florida, Gayfers was my absolute favorite DS because their lettering was block letters like the FRIGIDAIRE logo from '58 through '76 and their shopping bags were turquoise.I bought a great set of stainless steel cookware there (11 pieces with see through lids,copper clad sandwhich bases and non-stick interiors) for a mear $99. I had them for 7 years and they were losing their interior finish. They came with a ten year warranty and the man who had sold the set to me honored the warranty and gave me another set!! They merged with Dillards then got bought out and became Macey's. I only wish I could find that set again. No idea who made them but they were the absolute best pots and pans I ever had.
