The first Thom McAn store opened in New York in 1922. Named after a famous Scottish golfer, the chain peaked at almost 2,000 locations nationwide before declining in the 1980s and 1990s. The last Thom McAn store closed in 1996, though shoes with the brand name still sell in other outlets today. Old Thom McAn signs can still be seen at their former locations thoughout the country, including this large one in Brooklyn.

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Completely forgot about it until this post. Nice find!
