Founded by Harold Kamin, otherwise infamously known as “Bargain Harold” himself, what ended up as a mini-empire of general stores started from modest beginnings in 1970. Along with partner Arthur Anisman, Bargain Harold built up his simple bargain chain from one location to 52 locations that were eventually sold to Kmart in 1985 for $16 million. Talk about a good bargain.
