As one who shopped ar Carson's and Field's when I lived there--always by transit, I doubt seriously that five department stores died on account of lack of auto access. I worked in the mid 60s at Kroch's which at the time was the largest single account for most of the trade publising houses (and had very nice back door advantages), but totally disappeared courtesy of the discount books business in the 80s/90s. Old line departent stores in CBDs withered as money and thus sales moved to the edge cities. Anyone been to Gimbels recently? A&S?Entire national department store chains have died--despite presence at malls. |
