Zody's, also known as Hartfield-Zodys, was a chain of discount retail stores that operated in the United States from 1969 to 1986. The chain operated locations in California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Michigan.
In 1972, Zody's acquired the Yankee discount department store chain of Flint, Michigan, briefly re-branding the stores as Yankee-Zody's, and later as Zody's.[1] The Michigan stores proved unprofitable, and were sold off in 1974 when Hartfield-Zodys filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[1] Zody's closed the last of its California stores in March 1986, with many locations being sold to Ralphs, a supermarket chain.
