Whatever Happened to W.T. Grant Stores in New York?

W.T. Grant stores disappeared in 1976 after the once-enormous variety-store chain went bankrupt and liquidated its remaining locations. The company filed for protection from creditors in October 1975, but its attempt to continue operating failed. By the following spring, the familiar Grants signs were coming down across New York and the rest of the country. The collapse ended a business that had started with one Massachusetts store in 1906 and grown into a nationwide chain with more than a thousand locations.

Federal lawsuit accuses Owego McDonald’s of safety failures, retaliation

Former employees of a McDonald's franchise in the Village of Owego have filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging safety failures, retaliation and other violations. A lawsuit filed on Nov. 9 alleges that the franchisee company that owns the McDonald’s at 29 Hickories Park Road in Owego kept employees working through carbon dioxide leaks and fire-safety failures, failed to pay overtime and wages for all hours worked, retaliated against employees who raised safety and wage concerns and refused to accommodate a manager’s disabilities, allegedly forcing her out of her job. The initial complaint names Mac-Clark Restaurants, Inc., a McDonald's franchisee company that owns more than a dozen McDonald's restaurants across New York including the Owego location that employed the three former employees who are suing. It also names two of the company's managers — a Human Resources Manager and a Supervisor.
