United had formed earlier in 1960 to operate the existing seven-store chain of [[Danburg's]] Department Stores which had existed since the 1930s but felt there was need for a much larger discount store chain. Danburg, Kamins, and four other executives toured the country for more than a year, studying every major discount store to get ideas for the new chain.<ref>[https://archive.org/download/news-article-houston-chronicle-published-as-the-houston-chronicle-november-24-1960-p-38/News_Article__Houston_Chronicle_published_as_THE_HOUSTON_CHRONICLE___November_24_1960__p38.pdf "Top Executive Tells How Globe Became a Reality."], [[The Houston Chronicle]], November 24, 1960, p. 4.</ref>
 
The first Globe Discount City opened in Houston, TX on November 25, 1960.<ref>[https://archive.org/download/news-article-houston-chronicle-published-as-the-houston-chronicle-november-24-1960-p-36/News_Article__Houston_Chronicle_published_as_THE_HOUSTON_CHRONICLE___November_24_1960__p36.pdf "Globe Discount City Opens Doors Friday."], [[The Houston Chronicle]], November 24, 1960, p. 2.</ref> Unlike the smaller Danburg department stores, the Globe City concept featured a full grocery store, a Sun Cafeteria utilizing the store's sun logo, and an expanded variety of more than 80 departments including live pets, firearms, and a Globe Auto Center housed in an outparcel building.
 
With three Globe stores open in 1962, Walgreens acquired the United Mercantile portfolio on March 21, 1962.<ref>Collins T., Albert. [https://archive.org/download/news-article-houston-chronicle-published-as-houston-chronicle-march-21-1962-p-1/News_Article__Houston_Chronicle_published_as_HOUSTON_CHRONICLE___March_21_1962__p1.pdf "Globe to Merge With Walgreen's: Discount Firm, Drug Chain In Multimillon-Dollar Deal"], [[Houston Chronicle]], March 21, 1962, p. 1 and [https://archive.org/download/news-article-houston-chronicle-published-as-houston-chronicle-march-21-1962-p-20/News_Article__Houston_Chronicle_published_as_HOUSTON_CHRONICLE___March_21_1962__p20.pdf p. 20].</ref> Walgreens had seen [[F.W. Woolworth]] announce its new big-box retail concept of [[Woolco]] in 1961, [[S.S. Kresge]] opening its first [[Kmart]] in January 1962, and many others getting into large scale discount stores including the first [[Walmart]] store later in 1962 and [[W.T. Grant]] would create big-box Grant City stores. Walgreens would use Globe as its big-box brand while later creating a Walgreens Superstore line for its mid-sized pharmacy-centric stores while continuing its existing, smaller Walgreens stores.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/walgreensWBAannualreports/walgreens1967/page/n13/mode/2up "Our Typical Walgreen Store... Even Bigger Walgreen Store... Our Biggest: Globe Department Stores"], ''Walgreens Annual Report to Stockholders: 1967'', p. 15-15.</ref>

=== Downturn and Closure ===
United Mercantile / Walgreens closed all of the Danburg locations in 1970 as its aging mid-sized department stores were under competition from shopping mall anchors and newer big-box stores. By 1976, Globe stores were underperforming and around 40% of sales were going to the leased areas of the stores.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/walgreensWBAannualreports/walgreens1976/page/n23/mode/2up "The Globe Division"], ''Walgreens Annual Report to Stockholders: 1976,'' p. 23.</ref> Walgreens ended the Globe-branded check cashing card and internal credit system in favor of bank credit cards to help efficiency. The final three stores were opened in San Antonio on March 9, 1977 to double the number of stores from three to six in the city.<ref>[https://newspaperarchive.com/san-antonio-express-news-mar-09-1977-p-6/ "Three new Globe stores now open."], [[San Antonio Express News]], March 9, 1977, p. 6-A.</ref> But later that same year, Walgreens reported lower earnings partly due to the financial downturn of its Globe store unit. Losses were at $10 million in 1977 when Walgreens decided to exit the big-box space in 1978 closing or transferring all of its Globe Discount City locations by July 1978.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/115296550/arizona-daily-star/ "Closing of Globe Stores to Bring Loss of 170 Jobs."] [[Arizona Daily Star]]'','' March 15, 1978, p. 1B.</ref> Transactions were made to convert 14 locations to Kmarts and 8 locations became [[FedMart]] stores. FedMart would end up selling some of the buildings to [[Target]] and [[Mervyn's]] shortly thereafter. A number of locations which weren't transferred hosted auction sales to dispense with fixtures and any remaining inventory. The location in McAllen was sold to Klinck Drug Inc., who would continue to operate it under the Globe name and logo.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/115240122/the-monitor/ "Klinck's Announces Purchase Of Globe Discount Center."], [[The Monitor]], August 1, 1978, p. 1 and [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/115240130/the-monitor/ p. 8A].</ref> In October 1999, Klinck was acquired by [[H-E-B]] and announced that store would close at the end of the year due to "stiff competition".<ref>Cannon, Steve. [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/98550196/the-monitor/ "Klinck, Globe stores going under."], [[The Monitor]]'','' November 2, 1999, p.1.</ref>
