Foreman & Clark was a department store chain headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, California, United States.[1] Founded in 1909, the chain had 90 stores by 1957,[2] from California to New York,[3] and closed in 1999.[4]
The chain was known for placing stores above street level, where rents were cheaper.[3][4] Foreman & Clark began as a men's store, in 1909 on Third and Main Streets in downtown Los Angeles. By 1920 it owned three factories, in New Jersey and New York; and stores in San Diego, Oakland, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City and Pittsburgh. All the stores were upstairs.[3]
