The first entry was correct. Aim was a new division of TG&y started in 1983. It was short lived though with only 16 locations Nationwide.
TG&Y was owned by Household International until 1986 when it was purchased by McCrory,s who immediatly sold of the larger TG&Y family Centers and AIM Dept, Stores. They eventually started converting the small 5&10 stores to McCrorys who finnally went bakrupt and they are no longer.
I worked for the TG&Y as a General Manager of a TG&Y Family Center until 1985 and helped open the AIM stores officially known as "AIM FOR THE BEST"
