The Lincoln mall located was where Homegoods is now. They closed in around 1990. Homegoods opened in the Peerless space 8-11 years later and it's still there today.
Pawtucket, Lincoln, Providence, Wayland square, Warwick, Wakefield, Faunce Corner N. Dartmouth and Quincy Ma.I think that is all of them. Used to do the Saturday mail route and work in Pawtucket shipping, receiving after school in 86
I worked at the Swansea Mall Peerless from 1978-1983. I used to work at ALL of the annual consolidated Coat Sales. We got an extra $1 for every coat we sold back then as a bonus. I went to work at Wayland Square when Swansea closed. I worked for Peerless for 9 years. The President of Peerless (Owned by Gold Ring in NY) has Ann Hill, "Miss Hill" who inspected every Peerless store back then. They had beautiful clothing!
I worked in Pawtucket wrapping Christmas gifts. Loved it. After graduation in 1976, I worked in Lincoln Mall. We opened that store with gold standard of quality customer service and merchandise. I loved walking with my Mom over the little bridge from the parking lot in the back of the Pawtucket store, when I was a child. The cosmetics department on first floor displayed face powder that was custom blended for each customer. Beautiful store.
Don't forget the Lincoln Mall location as welll. My Ma used to drag me there in the 70s at the Pawtucket location.

ReplyDeleteI still have my Peerless Charge plate I opened at their Springfield, MA location at Eastfield Mall.
ReplyDeleteI worked downtown. Peerless, Shephard's, Gladding's, Sorority Shop. Bought my wedding gown at Peerless, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful window displays. They scented the entrance with Youth Dew!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not--I still have one or two garments from Peerless!
ReplyDeleteIt was a cut above The Outlet so they always said. Classy store. The Outlet had good quality things though.
