Shopper's City

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable shopping center. I'm unable to find references that suggest that this is worthy of an encyclopedia article. Jrtayloriv (talk) 05:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I believe this is being described as a chain of stores, not a shopping center. But I haven't found any sources, either. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

It was a chain of stores (seven) and is notable as being one of the forerunners of Big Box stores. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrimGrinningGuest (talk • contribs) 12:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep. A news search suggests that this chain had some notability as a significant "big box" predecessor in Minnesota, and in connection with challenges to the Sunday-closing law there. The subject matter seems to be a valuable addition to the encyclopedia's coverage of retailing. However, we could consider if the small amount of content would be better merged (with a redirect) into the article about Zayre, the notable larger chain which purchased this one in 1966-67. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
