[1] The company merged with Allied Stores Corp. of New York in 1955 and remained under its umbrella before being sold to, and renamed, Dillard's in 1987–1988.

Cain-Sloan was a target of one of the earliest sit-in protests by young African-Americans in Nashville during the Civil Rights Movement.

[2] On December 5, 1959, future Congressman John Lewis led a group of college students who entered the store intending to sit at its lunch counter.

Following the conversion, Dillard's continued expanding in the Nashville market by building two new stores (Bellevue Center and Cool Springs Galleria) and acquiring three former Castner Knott stores (Donelson Plaza, Harding Mall, and Murfreesboro's Stones River Mall).

[7] The Hickory Hollow store would shutter in August 2008, leaving Rivergate and Green Hills as the only converted Dillard's left.
