Wholesale Club's founding year

Tjgtjgtjg (talk) 14:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Geisse writes: Again Rowley's book nor even Chicago newspaper articles should be a second hand source for information on John Geisse. The Wholesale Club was founded on October 25, 1982. The first Wholesale Club warehouse was open on February 21, 1983. Tjgtjgtjg (talk) 14:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Tuxide writes: Just to point out, the Discount Store News's obituary article says that the Wholesale Club of Indianapolis was founded in 1982, while Laura Rowley's book, On Target, says it was founded in 1983. Laura Rowley's book is also more pessimistic towards the guy, too. Tuxide 05:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After looking into it further, the book On Target is citing from this Chicago Tribune article: Wal-Mart acquires club rival. Unfortunately you have to pay for the damn thing to read it all, suckage. Tuxide 22:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tjgtjgtjg (talk) 14:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Geisse writes: The Wholesale Club, Inc. was founded in 1982 and opened its first warehouse in February, 1983. There are many inaccurancies in Laura Rowley's book with regards to the true story of Geisse's founding of Target Stores.[reply]
