DID YOU KNOW?
Lastly, this final business is Pants Galore, which I visited as a youth. This chain was started in 1970 in Taylor, Michigan. The marketing was excellent, with the slogan, "Pants Galore, the 5 Dollar Store."
The owner worked directly with manufacturers to buy seconds and excess inventory at a discount and then sell it cheaply to the public. At one point, there were 13 Detroit-area stores. By 1975, the chain was running into financial trouble and, at one point, filed for bankruptcy. Shortly afterward, it went out of business.
I remember walking out of the store with four pairs of pants for only twenty dollars. I hope you enjoyed the article. Down below is a video.
