25921 Euclid Ave: Mary's Style Shops, ColorTyme, TNT Fashions,

Read the opening of the Euclid-Richmond Shopping Center.

25921 Euclid Ave was one of the original units on the East end of the Euclid-Richmond Shopping Center.

In 1952, the plaza opened with Mary's Style Shops in this location.


12 years later, in 1964, the store was broken into and robbed of $5,000 in merchandise.

Ouch.

It's 1970. You like nice things. You're not basic at all.

Mary's Style Shops ran teasers in November 1983 that they were selling to the walls to "make way for a different store concept."

By February 1984, they were advertising their going out of business sales. 32 years!

Seven months later in September 1984, COLORTYME Rentals put out a want ad for a secretary.

Don't recall ColorTyme Rentals, but evidently in 1986 they were *America's Largest Rent-To-Own System* so wow, right?

Maybe that logo looks... a little familiar?
At any rate ColorTyme is still in business. My goodness, they still even have the same pill-shaped logo.

TNT Fashions resided here for a while beginning in 1997 or so. They were gone in 2013.


In early 2017, a potential application submitted daycare plans to Euclid P&Z for 25921 Euclid Avenue.
