The walls are lined with photographs of the store's most famous patrons - Johnny Cash shopped here, as did Steve Harvey, Biggie Smalls, Floyd Mayweather Jr., the Tempatations, Star Jones, Cedric the Entertainer and Mike Tyson. Even Kwame Kilpatrick has spent a few of the city's spare dollars there.
