Pacific Sun

1300 West Sunset Rd. Henderson, NV 89014--Galleria at Sunset

From the Pac Sun website:

It all started as a little surf shop in 1980 in Newport Beach, California. It wasn't called Pacific Sunwear then. It wasn't even all that different from all the other shops carrying surfboards and wax, except for one thing, the founders had a better idea. You see, during Southern California's wet, cool winters, the beaches get empty and the surf store business goes dry. Where does everyone go? To the mall of course. That was the idea: to be the first surf shop to move into California's popular mall locations.

The first mall opening was in 1981 in Santa Monica Place. It was huge. Soon we opened seven more mall stores up and down the coast in places like Torrance, Thousand Oaks and West Los Angeles. By 1987 we had grown to 21 stores.

But PacSun wasn't the only good idea born at the beach in the early '80s. All over Orange County, California, locals were creating their own brands of clothing with names like Gotcha, CatchIt and Quiksilver. One day a guy walked into the PacSun store with a carton of super-long board shorts and the kids grabbed them before we could get them out of the box. The brand? Billabong. We all grew up together. In '89 we expanded outside of California for the first time. We opened up shops on the East Coast and ran into some snags. Surf brands were mainly shorts and t-shirts and the East Coast was mainly cold. But we caught on quick and so did our vendors. Our surf and skate brands moved into long pants and sleeves, and sales began to climb. Pants and T-shirts got bigger and so did PacSun. Skate brands like Gypsys & Thieves and Vision came along in 1990. Fresh Jive brought out baggy jeans and PacSun caught the trend. We introduced private brands like Island Force, Diversion and Shotts to help fill in the line. Stussy hit the beach in '92 and the kids couldn't buy it fast enough. We were at 60 stores when we went public in '93.

It's a blur after that. We introduced juniors and shoes, expanded the store size, opened our first outlet store, opened our first non-mall store in Greenwich Village, New York, and just kept growing. From one surf shop to over 859 Pacific Sunwear stores and 76 Pacific Sunwear outlet stores in 50 states and Puerto Rico.

How does PacSun succeed when thousands of other clothing companies fail? We listen; and we change. Someone once said to the CEO of PacSun, "You give too much credit to those kids." But everyone at PacSun knows the kids have the answers. We listen to get the trends, the solutions and find out what we're doing right. The rest, of course, is history.

Hickory Farms

Phone: No TN available
Address: 1300 West Sunset Rd. Henderson, NV 89014

Notes: Located at the Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson, NV

It all began in rural Ohio, more than 56 years ago, when Richard Ransom, founder of Hickory Farms, first gave people a sample of the genuine, uncompromising taste of quality that would soon become the company's hallmark.

Richard began by selling cheeses he had hand-cut and wrapped himself at local home shows. These cheeses carried such a rich, full-bodied flavor and irresistible aroma that people began demanding more.

Richard's cheeses really filled a niche and soon he was adding more unique kinds of cheeses, as well as our now famous Hickory Farms® Beef Stick® Summer Sausage. Soon he was sampling and selling at shows and fairs all over the state of Ohio.

By 1959, Hickory Farms had opened its first retail store outside Toledo, Ohio. This proven retail concept was so successful that other Hickory Farms stores started appearing across the United States.

It could be said that these Hickory Farms stores were the first 'delis' for many Americans. Most grocery stores at that time simply did not carry a wide array of premium cheeses and specialty meats. People fell in love with these friendly stores where they could sample a variety of specialty cheeses, meats, mustards, crackers and candies before making their purchase decisions.

Yesterday and today people recognize that these premium food items are unique and help make any occasion more special. . . Whether it's Father's Day, Labor Day, Game Day or simply Saturday!

There is no question that a key part of the Hickory Farms success story has been our commitment to our customers, sampling and personalized service. This commitment dates back to our beginning and is still the company's focus today. You can find Hickory Farms award-winning products in leading supermarkets and mass merchants, here online and also in retail shopping centers during the holiday season.

It's as true today as it was in Richard Ransom's day. . . once you taste Hickory Farms quality, you're sold. Our delicious recipes have been developed with hospitality, relaxation and tradition in mind. We at Hickory Farms believe the greatest memories of all are created by the aromas, tastes and traditions of home. We hope you enjoy making our signature products part of your home traditions and thank you for making Hickory Farms part of your special occasions!

Dick's Sporting Goods

Phone: 702.855.5000
Address: 1300 West Sunset Rd. Henderson, NV 89014

Notes: Located at the Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson, NV

From Dick's-

The year was 1948. Eighteen-year-old Dick Stack was an energetic salesman at a small Army and Navy store in Binghamton, New York. One day, the store owner asked Dick, an avid fisherman, if it would be a good idea to sell fishing gear in his shop. Dick offered to develop a plan.

After working tirelessly on a business plan over a succession of sleepless nights, Dick nervously approached the owner with his vision. The response was stinging. Dumbfounded, Dick was told that he didn't know what he was doing and "would never make a good merchant."

That evening, frustrated and dejected, Dick retreated to his grandmother's home. She listened quietly as he recounted his story. When he had finished, she rose silently and went to the kitchen. Removing the lid from her cookie jar, she extracted $300 of her hard-earned savings and pressed the bills into Dick's hand." Dick, always follow your dreams," she advised.

With his grandmother's $300, Dick opened a modest bait and tackle shop in Binghamton. By 1958, at the urging of his loyal customers, he expanded his product line to include much of what you'll find at Dick's Sporting Goods today.

Now with over 250 stores, Dick's family continues to offer the finest quality products at competitive prices, backed by the best service anywhere. Like you, we have a real passion for sports and are excited to bring the enthusiasm and experience to the online community

B. Dalton Bookseller

Phone: 702.434.1331
Address: 1300 West Sunset Rd. Henderson, NV 89014

Notes: Located at the Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson, NV

From Answers.com--

B. Dalton Bookseller Inc. is the second-largest operator of shopping-mall bookstores in the United States. This subsidiary of Barnes & Noble, Inc., the world's largest bookstore chain, also oversees the operations of two smaller bookstore chains, Doubleday Book Shops and Scribner's Bookstores.

B. Dalton Bookseller was founded in 1966 by Dayton Co., an expanding retailer best known for its Minneapolis department store. Company president Bruce Dayton later explained the decision to enter the fragmented retail book trade in this way: "Sears, Roebuck, and Penney's, our typical competitors, weren't strong on books. And on the other hand, we saw nonpublishers like General Electric and Xerox making books and saw no reason why a previously non-bookseller like Dayton's couldn't sell them." He went on to add, "We felt that what the book business needed was merchandising knowhow, the kind of selling that 'mom-and-pop' stores don't do. Naturally, our emphasis was on salesmanship rather than bookmanship."

1300 West Sunset Rd. Henderson, NV 89014--Galleria at Sunset

From Hot Topic:

In the fall of 1989, Hot Topic opened its doors in Westminster, California. We'd love to tell you it was a huge success, with hundreds of teens clawing their way into the store, but we'd be lying. Sales were disappointing. Some days we barely made a hundred bucks. Was founder Orv Madden's vision doomed? It was time to take a step back and re-evaluate. First, our location in the mall wasn't the best. How the heck could we sell anything if nobody could find us? Then we looked at what was selling-costume jewelry. We started buying more stuff like cross necklaces, unisex earrings and leather bracelets and got rid of hair scrunchies, men's ties and dress socks. Hot Topic found a niche and its name was music-influenced accessories. Whether it was fingerless gloves like Billy Idol or glam metal bootstraps like Poison, music was definitely the driving force behind teen fashion. After our Westminster customers gave us a reality check, we packed our bags, moved to Montclair, California and rocked their mall with the first Hot Topic store to carry all music-influenced accessories for teens.

As business increased in 1990, adding apparel seemed like a no-brainer, and what better way than to add the ultimate music fan essential-rock tees. At the time, finding a rock tee wasn't easy. You had to buy 'em from catalogs, small record stores or at concerts. It was unheard of to see a rock tee at the mall, so imagine how our customers flipped when they were able to purchase Bauhaus, The Cure, TSOL and Depeche Mode T-shirts at Hot Topic. Not surprisingly, these 4 titles blew out, so more alternative bands were added. Within a year, we had about 50 different band titles, and rock-inspired clothing lines like Lip Service and Serious were a big chunk of the business. By the end of 1990, we had opened 3 more stores in California and by 1994, Hot Topic was 50% accessories and 50% apparel.
