Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: WikiProject Retailing userbox Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: Listings of store locations Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

[edit] Do we have the correct logo?

I did a search on uspto.gov, and I'm inclined to say we might have the wrong logo on the Turn Style page. See [1] for more information (trademark serial number 72252819). That shows a turnstile for the Jewel-owned chain. Does anyone actually remember seeing Turn Style in operation, in order to shed some light on the logo? SchuminWeb (Talk) 10:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the logo is correct and the pinwheel was inserted in the mid sixties to highlite the term STYLE. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jamtexas (talk • contribs) .

The logo looks correct from what I remember of the chain, the last locations to open may have had a circle instead of the pinwheel, simplified and more modern looking. There were colors in each part of the pinwheel. I.E. Green, Red, Blue, Yellow. I have no copy in color or remember which went where.kidsheaven 18:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] headquarters?

I have a listing of Brighton, MA - with Jewel Tea Company - 1970's was called Jewel Companies. Headquarters is Melrose Park for Jewel Companies, current division office of SuperValu - Jewel-Osco and distribution center, likely was for Turnstyle also. Contained a dairy - Hillfarm, store brands division Park Products. All now a warehouse/distribution center and large Chicago division headquarters.kidsheaven 19:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
