Uncle Bill's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uncle Bill's was a chain of stores in the Greater Cleveland area. It was founded in 1955 by Sidney Axelrod as a discount store.[1] In 1961, the store added clothing and furniture to become a full discount department store.[1]

The store catered to young 1960s consumers, filling the economic spaces previously held by downtown department stores.[2]

The store was sold to Cook United (then the Cook Coffee Company) in 1961.[1]
