I remember shopping at the 3539 W 26th street store, growing up. Seemed like everything in the store was priced with "0.88". ($1.88, $5.88, $10.88, etc) I also remember how the employees would all be on the floors, and there would always be that one, that would follow you. Bought alot of nice things there though.

Didn't Zemsky's replace Leader Brothers? I seem to remember people referring to the Cermak store with both names.

Yes, Zemsky's did replace the Leader Store on W.18th St. But is now a more homogenized Family Dollar store.
