Price Club was a warehouse store chain, founded by Sol Price in San Diego, California. Price devised the Price Club concept in 1975 after being forced out of FedMart, another retail chain he founded. Price and a few of his friends put up $2.5 million in capital to open the first Price Club on July 12, 1976 in San Diego. Price Club would eventually merge with one of its competitors and the combined company would go on to become the global leader in the wholesale shopping club space with more than 800 warehouses worldwide as of 2021.

Funny design for retail workers and retired retail workers who appreciate a joke. This would also make a great Birthday or Christmas gift for your best friend, relative, boyfriend or girlfriend who also works in retail or has stopped working in retail and likes humorous jokes.

Ever try to explain something to someone and they JUST. DON'T. GET. IT? Does it well up inside you until all your patience turns to molten lava and the only way left to reach them is to grab their fat little face, look them square in the eyes, and -- oh! No? Yeah, me neither. Inspired by Phil Machi's comic strip, "Retail Sunshine", this image captures one such moment in time.

who remembers this logo from a long ago closed department store?

Incredible Universe was the name of a chain of consumer electronics stores in the early to mid '90s that were a joint venture between Tandy Corporation and Trans World Entertainment. A typical store was 185,000 square feet of sales floor and warehouse, stocking around 85,000 items. The store's borrowed philosophies from theme parks with retail departments being "scenes," employees were "cast members," customers were "guests,"and so forth. The stores featured a large rotunda area with a stage where sales presentations, product demonstrations, autograph signings, and musical acts could perform. Retail departments (software, music and video, and accessories) were accessible from the rotunda, making it a hub of sorts for the store.

Sometimes a situation calls for something so witty that it defies description. That's where Spike and his hand puppet come into play - straight from the pages of the "Retail Sunshine" comic strip by Phil Machi.

Perfect for any retail worker that is used to dealing with the zombie hordes coming their way. Perfect for Halloween or any other spooky occasion. In case of apocalypse... follow me... I work in retail. I have experience with zombie hordes.
