Bringing the Globe Store in downtown Scranton back to life – Keystone Edge

For more than a century, the Globe Store was the heart of Scranton’s downtown. Now closed for 23 years, it remains a powerful symbol to nostalgic Scrantonians who collect its artifacts and reminisce about the beloved retailer on Facebook and YouTube.

Now life is coming back to the iconic building. A year ago, the shuttered store’s display windows were filled with an exhibit of Globe Store artifacts: gift boxes and cards, shopping bags and labeled merchandise. In December, shoppers once again thronged the Globe’s first floor for a ScrantonMade seasonal market.
