Was there ever a Service Merchandise on Loop 410? Because I found mention of one around that area on Bexar County Records

The one by Ingram Park is the one that later became Fallas Paredes and Macy's Furniture Gallery (both now closed) and not TRU though I could be wrong

This thread has me wondering where the "BEST" store used to be? I remember going there as a kid but just can't remember where it was.

I remember the store being much like Service Merchandise.

One thing I really miss is the real Sears craftsman tools. Not the junk that Lowes sells now.
