The resident restaurant at Grant City stores was known as the Bradford House.

A Pilgrim-motif character known as "Bucky Bradford" was the Bradford House mascot. All "Bradford" references were a homage to Bradford County, Pennsylvania; the birthplace of W.T. Grant.

Most Grant City stores included a freestanding or attached Auto Center.

By January 1975, Grants was experiencing financial problems. In fiscal 1974, they had lost 175 million dollars! A lenient credit program had given a charge plate to anyone who applied. Moreover, stock dividends were paid when the company was nearly bankrupt. By late 1975, Grants was reorganizing under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy; something akin to rearranging deck chairs on the R.M.S. Titanic. The final Grants stores closed in March 1976.

The Allied Stores holding company developed two store formats in the 1960s. Almart, a discount merchandiser, was unveiled in the fall of 1962. The J.B. Hunter chain of standard department stores was introduced in 1968.

The typical Almart store was comprised of a single level and covered between 120,000 and 150,000 square feet.

Above, we have a rare peek inside an Almart store. The unit seen here opened -in the Greater Wilmington, Delaware area- in early 1966.
