Camelot Music, founded in 1956, was a leading mall-based retailer of prerecorded music and accessories and was one of the largest music retailers in the United States based on store count. In late 1998, Camelot was acquired and all their mall stores were closed.

In honor of the greatest horror writer/fast food chain, I present to you this shirt! Guaranteed to get plenty of double takes (and maybe even a Double Whopper, with cheese of course.) Great for horrorhounds, bookworms, and junkfood enthusiasts! Lame-os need not apply. (Also in pin form, here: cameraviscera.bigcartel.com)

Turtle's Records and Tapes was an Atlanta based southern US record store chain that specialized in cassettes, vinyl, and concert tickets and later it rented movies in VHS format. Great gift for crate diggers, vinyl record lovers, old school hip hoppers, turntable spinners and vintage music lovers. Vintage distressed monochrome version of the late great twisted neck logo.

Let's go back to the mall in this retro inspired 1980s style neon Chess King shirt.

I got my I.O.U. at Merry-Go-Round. Starting out as a single boutique selling only blue jeans in Atlanta in 1968, the trendy teen retailer Merry-Go-Round expanded quickly in the 1990s, to eventually 1,500 stores nationwide. By January of 1994, the company filed for bankruptcy and just months later, it closed all 1,500 locations, making it one of the largest retail bankruptcies in history.
