Selt's

R.R. Selt, Co (full name: Randall & Renold Selt Company, or simply just Selt's, or Selts, stylized as 'SELTS ', during its final years) was an American department store chain founded in 1896, as R.R. Selt Five & Dime. But was turned into a department store chain after five and dime stores "were not worth it". The company was closed in 2005, after it was acquired by Mervyn's, but later filed for bankruptcy in early 2009. The company's stores are now operated under other stores, while some of their stores were left abandoned. In 2017, it was announced that 39 abandoned stores were demolished. In 2011, a proposal for an e-commerence revival, but never made it into reality.
