Title: FEDCO

I think this was some wholesale-like chain , and judging by the cars in the pic, (maybe 1999 by the copyright)  they didn't close too long ago. Anyone have any info?

Edit: It seems the chain closed (membership department store) in August 1999, and they were only in Southern California. From old google groups messages, it looks like Target took over the leases.

I think they were like Sam's Club, but maybe slightly more of a Department store format (i'm picturing it was like a combo of Service Merchandise, Best, and Clover all together)

Sounded like a nice store. Probebly another one driven down by Wal-Mart. :flaming:
