Rich's (discount store)

Rich's was a regional discount department store chain primarily located in the Southeastern United States. While sharing the name with the more upscale Rich's department store based in Atlanta, Georgia, the discount chain was a separate entity and not affiliated with the higher-end retailer.

The Rich's discount stores offered a variety of merchandise, including clothing, housewares, electronics, toys, and seasonal items. They were known for competitive pricing and a no-frills shopping experience. The stores aimed to cater to budget-conscious shoppers, often featuring closeout and overstock items.

The number of Rich's discount stores fluctuated over time, with locations primarily found in smaller towns and rural areas throughout the Southeast. The chain eventually ceased operations, with remaining stores closing or being rebranded under different ownership. Information about the precise years of operation, the exact number of stores, and the reasons for its closure is not readily and consistently available across verifiable sources.
