Encyclopedia > Topeka (store)

Tiendas Topeka (or Topeka Stores) is a large Puerto Rican retail department stores chain.


Topeka as a store chain was begun in the late 1950s, competing with such other stores as Woolworth's, Pitusa and La New York Department Stores.


Topeka eventually grew into becoming one of the largest stores chains in the island by setting up stores in shopping centers and town streets in almost each one of the 78 towns and cities of Puerto Rico. With Puerto Rico's shopping mall boom of the 1980s, Topeka was able to open stores at many malls too.


Originally basically a clothes store, Topeka gradually grew into including food, school items, electronics, toys, etc, etc in their stores.


Nowadays, they have also opened a few supermarkets and Hipermercados (a store that is a combination food and clothes store)under their trademark name in Puerto Rico.
