It was founded in 1955, by Herbert Haft and his wife Gloria in Adams Morgan.
The chain expanded to over 100 stores, and became a vehicle (as Dart Group) by which Herbert Haft engaged in greenmail activities against other public companies.
Dart Group remained a viable company that was involved in a vicious family feud (see Herbert Haft for details).
The store's logo depicted a multicolored bullseye design with a triangular "dart" overlaid.
