You want pretentious? Try Gumps…while you can

Target is pretentious? That’s a hoot.

I think I have been to Gumps twice in @40 years, both times with my wife. Not that she’s that sort.

A lot depends on what you grew up with. If you had Woolworth, Ames or Kresge/K-Mart, yes, Target would be pretentious in presentation by comparison. Where I was, Barker's and Stars were "normal" and Grant's (with it's Bradford House diner) and Caldor were "upscale".
