Yes. Kresgee stores were common and popular in Detroit where I grew up. This was back in 60’s thru 80’s.
A huge Kresgee’s was downtown on Woodward Ave. across the street from another retail icon, Hudson’s department store.
Both stores had sit down cafeterias. I used to visit Kresegees and have a special pancake breakfast with my Dad.

Yeah, now I remember them, too. Lunch counter like Woolworth’s - great times going there back in the 60s! Had almost forgotten.
