Does anyone remember a store called Rodder's, Rodder's Mademoiselle or Rodder's Desert Doll? I think it was a women's clothing store. Where was it and when did it operate?

Rodder's was at Fashion Fair. Sorry, but I can't help you with the dates.

Rodder's was also next door to Rhode's in the Manchester Center in the mid 60s to early 70s.

Rodder's Mademoiselle was on Fulton Street in downtown Fresno for many years before moving to other locations. It was Fresno classiest downtown Women's store, along with Berkeley's (I. Magnin was very classy too, but opened near downtown at Van Ness and Calaveras later, I believe in the 1960's). I recall seeing a vintage news photo of singer/movie star Frank Sinatra surrounded by pretty Fresno girls which was taken at Rodder's Mademoiselle about 1945.

Yes, Rodder's Desert Doll. I believe it was a store within a store (namely Rodder's) - or it was part of Rodder's. Anyway, more younger type clothes - wasn't Roos-Atkins related to Rodders also?

I do remember Rodder's in the Fulton Mall downtown in the 70's. I bought a pair of real leather sandles that lasted me over 10 years! Best sandles I have owned to this day. They don't make them like that anymore.

Rodder's downtown was one of my favorite stores, and I shopped there many times. I went to school with Albert Rodder. We were both in Fresno High Class of 1945. Years later, when I returned to Fresno, I saw him a few times. He'd become an expert bridge player.
