In 1960 Rapid American acquired a half-interest in United Stores and control of its subsidiary McCrory-McLellan-Green, parent firm to three dime store chains, McCrory Stores, McLellan's, and H. L. Green. Rebranding these 850 stores under the McCrory name, Riklis made the united chain profitable, then returned to college, where he earned a Master's degree in Finance with a thesis titled "Expansion through Financial Management", on "the effective use, or rather non-use, of cash", based on his own career. |
