Whatever Happened To ... B. Forman?
The B. Forman Co. was another of Rochester’s iconic department stores, a store that ruled the city’s upscale market and whose owners played a vital role in the development of Midtown Plaza. The largest women’s specialty store between New York City and Chicago for a time, Forman’s added men’s furnishings for the second half of its existence.

Whatever Happened To ... McCurdy's?http://www.democratandchronicle.com/...rdys/19372903/McCurdy's was a retail giant and pioneer in Rochester for nearly a century and the last of the locally owned family department stores.
Though perhaps overshadowed by Sibley's — which was profiled in an earlier "Whatever Happened To…" installment — McCurdy's certainly made its own enormous impact in Rochester.
Foremost was the development of Midtown Plaza, the first downtown shopping mall in the country and a project that revitalized the city shopping scene. McCurdy's also was the first Rochester department store to branch to the suburbs when it opened in Greece's Northgate Plaza in 1953.
