WE ARE THE COMMUNITY FUNERAL HOME

(JTA) — Meshulam Riklis, an Israeli-
American businessman who was
called “perhaps the first corporate
takeover artist” in the United States,
has died.
Riklis had more than $1 billion in
assets prior to several of his businesses
going bankrupt in the early 1990s. One
of the best-known was McCrory Corp.,
a chain of five-and-dime stores that
was founded in 1882 and went bust in
1992 under Riklis. His critics accused
him of gutting the firm and others,
and of shifting around its wealth
before terminating it.
It was the Baltimore Sun
that described Riklis as the corporate
takeover artist in the aftermath of the
McCrory’s failure.
Riklis died Jan. 25, 2019, at 95 in a
Tel Aviv hospital, Maariv reported.
