IIRC, Weinstock's (a Sac'to dep't store), The Emporium (in SF), and HC Capwell's (in Oakland) began as separate, independent establishments, later became part of a larger chain, but still kept their individual identities until their owner became part of a still-larger chain whose owners/operators/managers decided they didn't need so many different stores, so bye-bye, Big E,
et al.
