McLellan Stores were a twentieth century chain of five and dime stores in the United States

The stores were founded by William McLellan (d. April 1960 at age 87) in 1917. The chain grew to 200 variety stores, but the Great Depression drove the company into bankruptcy. The company was able to emerge from bankruptcy without reorganization, but control was obtained by United Stores Corporation which had bought shares on the stock market.

McLellan Stores merged with McCrory Stores in 1958. Many of the stores were converted to McCrory's or J.J. Newberry's (owned by the same company), and have ultimately been closed as McCrory's entered bankruptcy in the 1990s.

Like many similar stores, it had segregated lunch counters in its stores in the southern United States until protests (including sit-ins) in the early 1960s forced it to desegregate.
