Penneys Closes Preston Store After 67 Years in Operation
The Penneys in Preston, among the town’s oldest businesses, closed on Saturday after 67 years. Opened in 1908, it moved locations several times before settling in its final Preston site in 1939. OD Robinson, a longtime manager, recalled postwar growth and a 1954 trophy for high regional gains. The closure stemmed from competition, chain-wide volume cuts, shift to self service in 1963, and a move away from small area stores.
