Source of many of Doll Games’ most important characters and accessories, this low-priced department store chain has now been largely forgotten but was frequently visited by the Jackson family during the 1970s.

Gemco was an American, particularly California chain of membership department stores that was owned by San Leandro-based Lucky Stores, a California supermarket company which has since been acquired in the 1980s by American Stores Company, which was later acquired by Albertsons in 2000. It operated from 1959 until closing in late 1986. A number of the west coast stores were sold to Target which fueled their entry into California.
