Department Stores - Kresge's
- Title
- Department Stores - Kresge's
- Description
- Everett had its share of "5 and 10 cent" stores over the years from J.J. Newberry's, Woolworth's, and Grant's, all the way up to today's "Family Dollar". The most beloved of these was Kresge's, which stood on on the corner of Broadway and Norwood St. from the late 1920s to the mid 1960s. You could buy a pet bird, eat at their lunch counter, and purchase lots of inexpensive household items. By the mid-1960s, the S.S. Kresge Company began closing stores like the one in Everett, so they could focus on their growing KMart chain.
