[edit] History
In 1922, C.R. Anthony opened his first family department store in Cushing, Oklahoma. In 1972, C.R. Anthony retired from the company and his son, Guy Anthony, became president of the company. In 1980, Guy Anthony retired from the company and his son, Bob Anthony, became president of the company. In 1987, the company's shareholders voted to sell the company to an investor group sponsored by Citicorp Venture Capital.
In 1990, Anthony's filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. At the time of the bankruptcy it operated 182 stores in the United States. In 1997, Stage acquired C.R. Anthony's and rebranded all the Anthony's stores Stage.
