TG&Y was a five and dime, or chain of variety stores and larger discount stores in the United States.At its peak, there were more than 900 stores in 29 states. Starting out during the Great Depression in rural areas and eventually moving into cities, TG&Y stores were firmly embedded in southern culture as modern-day general stores with a bit of everything.
Many TG&Y stores were larger than the typical 10,000 to 15,000 square foot McCrory store, and the merchandise mix was very different.
