I'd like a nostalgic Sears, Roebuck & Co. store, but I don't see Menards offering a model of a company that is a competitor (a very weak competitor but still a competitor that sells some similar products - hardware, housewares, outdoor/garden equipment).
IMHO the best option for a nostalgic retailer such as FW Woolworth, SS Kresge, GC Murphy & McCrorys would be Andre's River Leaf Models . You could also make this structure into a Montgomery Wards or any local retailer that fits your era and locale.

Another old dept. store company choice could also be Eaton's? Began as early as 1869, and disappeared in 1999 being absorbed into Sears, but I do believe the intellectual property of Eaton's has since transferred to the company that owns the Toronto Eaton Centre. Might be easier to make an agreement for it than other older names.
