One might expect that the Portal would have a lot of videos about Radio Shack and various other Tandy store formats given that Tandy was based in Fort Worth. However, that’s not really the case. That said, there is a video from 1994 showing the inside of the Metroplex Incredible Universe. One Radio Shack video on the Portal website that I found par...
Just as younger readers might find it hard to believe that Dillard’s ever had electronics, younger readers might find it hard to believe that JCPenney once sold electronics, tools, and had auto centers just like readers might remember Sears and Montgomery Ward selling. It was in the early 1980s when JCPenney decided to eliminate hard lines from the...
In the early 1990s, a famous Mervyn’s commercial had a woman lining up at the store several hours before opening time while chanting “open, open, open” to get some great sale prices. That commercial always made me laugh because the thought of someone lining up at a Mervyn’s seemed rather unlikely. Ah, but the Portal has the power to make the unlike...
There were many electronics specialty stores which came and went very quickly in the 1970s-1990s. Some of them, like Federated, are easy to remember for those of us who were around in that era due to their catchy marketing, but many of the chains have faded from pretty much all consciousness. One of those chains is Pacific Stereo. That said, Pacifi...
At one point in time, luxury shopping in Houston meant shopping at Sakowitz. Sakowitz decided to try to see if they could run a department store in the Metroplex in 1981. The reference to crosstown rivalry if of course because Neiman Marcus was founded in and still operates out of Dallas.
Now that we’ve discussed mid and upper-level department stores and specialty stores, let’s take a look at discount stores. One of the more memorable discount/variety stores in Texas were the Gibson’s Discount Centers. These stores competed with the Woolworth and TG&Ys of the world for those who were on a tight budget or who wanted the lowest prices...
On the topic of Blue Laws, here is a 1984video about Blue Laws as it relates to Kmart. There are also some images from inside a Kmart store. Some great shots from the Kmart electronics department can be seen in this video. Also visible in the video is a 1980s version of an outlet mall. Malls like this were popping up all over Houston, typically in ...
It didn’t take long for Sam’s Club stores to make their way into Texas after the first Sam’s opened in Oklahoma in 1983. By that same year, Sam’s had a store in the Metroplex and that is the feature of this 1983video. Membership club stores wouldn’t have been new to Texans at the time. Stores like Gemco and FedMart had existed in Houston for many y...
We’ll now briefly take a look at restaurants and fast food. Here are a couple of general fast food videos which show multiple fast food restaurants. All of these fast food restaurants had locations in Houston at least one time or another. The first video is from 1982and shows the interiors, exteriors, and signs of various fast food restaurants, inc...
Finally, we’ll conclude this look at retail videos from the Portal with a couple more 30 minute interviews from the Abilene Christian University TV station. The first video I’ll present is a 1985 interview with Lynn Packer, chairman of the board for Wyatt Cafeterias. Packer talks about the history of the chain and talks about the differences betwee...
