Definition

A devoted fan of W. T. Grant stores, the defunct American department chain that apparently inspired a loyalty so deep it deserves its own noun. Nobody has shopped there in decades, which makes the grantsophile a true romantic of the retail past. Their shopping list is mostly nostalgia.

Example Usage

Gladys drove three hours to find a vintage W. T. Grant sign. Total grantsophile behavior.
