Sprouse-Reitz

Sprouse-Reitz

Sprouse-Reitz is a defunct chain of five and dime stores based out of Portland, Oregon. Sprouse-Reitz started around 1909 and at its peak had nearly 400 stores in the Western United States. In 1991, the company tried to revive itself by renaming stores Sprouse!. Sprouse-Reitz decided to liquidate and close its final 84 stores after failing to find a buyer in late 1993.
