John's Bargain Store was a chain of variety stores in the Northeast and Midwest of the United States. It was founded in 1955. The stores were, according to the New York Times: "with its big red sign and white lettering... once a nearly ubiquitous presence in the New York metropolitan area, particularly in low-income sections. It grazed the low end of retailing... paying cheap rent for locations few other retailers wanted... buying merchandise that could be startlingly inexpensive, often because the manufacturer had overestimated demand."
