Yellow Front Stores

Yellow Front Stores

In the 1950s, Yellow Stores opened in Phoenix, Arizona as a small store selling Army Surplus items. It was founded by Jake Henager.

In the 1960s Yellow Front Stores added more variety to their stock and increased their locations. By the 1970s they had stores all over southwest America. They were, by then, selling outdoor gear such as hunting, camping, and fishing supplies, as well as work clothing - such as Levi Strauss jeans.

Past Presidents of Yellow Front Stores were Jake Henager, Sean Lee, Robert Bove, and David Stoup.

Yellow Front Stores was bought by Lucky Stores, but still operated as Yellow Front. In 1987 there were 104 Yellow Front Stores in 8 states. However, Lucky Stores sold the Yellow Front Stores for $50 million during an attempt to avoid a hostile takeover by Asher B. Eshelman, a New York investor. The purchaser was a corporation owned by Kenmare; a private company owned by Daniel J. Sullivan.
