Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge Here are some tasks you can do: Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

[edit] California locations

Can anyone confirm the Pasadena location? I lived in the area until late 1986, and there was no Ohrbach's on Lake Avenue at that time. Since the company went under in 1987, a Pasadena branch if it existed couldn't have lasted long. I suspect an error. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Whyaduck (talk • contribs) 17:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Downtown Los Angeles location

The 1905-built 5th Street Store building was demolished sometime after this photo was takenin 1920. The Milliron's which became Ohrbach's was in this later building. Here's a ca.1940 picture of the Broadway side of the building. I've been unable to find a picture of it as Ohrbach's, or a construction date. Whyaduck 14:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
