Bigsby &amp; Kruthers Bigsby & Kruthers was a high profile men's clothier in Chicago for 30 years from 1970 to 2000. The privately held company was founded by Joe Silverberg, joined shortly thereafter by his brother, H. Gene Silverberg, who both got their start as children working on Maxwell Street. The chain started as a small jeans and menswear surplus store on Broadway and Briar St., and at its peak there were upscale suit stores in prime locations on the Magnificent Mile, Lincoln Park (1750 N. Clark Street), Water Tower Place, 10 S. LaSalle Street, Oakbrook Center, and Northbrook Court (with a focus on women's wear). Other locations had opened and closed (or moved), including Diversey Pkwy. near Clark St., Woodfield Mall, Brickyard Mall, an outlet store in Gurnee Mills, a Dallas, Texas store that opened in 1986, and a franchise in Madison, Wisconsin.
AppleTree Markets AppleTree Markets was a supermarket chain in Texas formed in 1969 when Safeway opened its first stores in Houston, which were spun off under the AppleTree name in 1988. The division once had 100 stores in Greater Houston and Greater Austin. By January 21, 2002, AppleTree had reduced its holdings to two stores in Bryan, Texas where it had shifted its headquarters. One of the remaining locations was sold in 2009 and the final location, in Bryan at Highway 21 and Texas Avenue, closed in early 2012 marking the end of the chain.
