I grew up in the 90s and I have zero recollection of Britches, for whatever that says. And I do remember Hecht's and Montgomery Ward.
Then again, I lived in the boonies of Murdaland, so experiences may vary. My mall trips were usually to Annapolis or Waldorf.
Roy’s is still around.
They downsized a freakton but then started to make a modest comeback like 10-15 years ago. Still aren't nearly as many around as there used to be.
