We had Zayre in South Florida back in those days my Mom loved going there.

I miss Radio Shack the most. The best place for Ham Radio operators to pick up spare parts.

Well I must say it is really nostalgic! 😢

My former Border's became a Books A Million store, and, surprisingly, it is still in business!

Sounds like everything was rebranded to Macy’s then Macy’s goes belly up!!!

@jrebecca0195 Ай бұрын

The Macy's at my local mall is the only anchor store still in business, but the mall itself is struggling pretty hard, so I wonder if the Macy's days are numbered.

@@jrebecca0195I think the Macy's at my local mall is still kicking amazingly. Then again, my mall is actually doing remarkably well thanks to actually adapting to change.

Yes. Macy’s ruins everything they touch. I’ve never forgiven them for their obliteration of Rich’s Department store here in Atlanta. 😢

Montgomery Ward is still around as a small mail-order catalog company.

We had Caldor in Connecticut. It was a husband and wife team named Calvin and Doris. For years, there was W.T. Grant. That was a big store that even had it's own little restaurant adjacent to it, named Bradford House. Both of these stores were low-priced but a step-up from going to K-Mart. Nowadays, it's just WalMart, nothing else.

@DesertRainReads Ай бұрын

I remember Caldor, there used to be one in Chelmsford which is now a Wal-Mart.

When I first moved to my area of NJ fifteen years ago, there were four stores that catered to plus-sized women: Lane Bryant, Avenue, Catherine's, and Torrid. Now only Torrid is still in business.

The one store that's gone forever that I really miss is Border's. And I have this uneasy feeling in 2024 that Barnes and Noble won't be here much longer either; they've been losing big money for at least the past decade. 🥺😢😭😭

The stores I miss most are Sears and Toys R' Us. I used layaway at both franchises all the time.

every time a bookstore closes we are that much closer to the death of civilization.

Waldenbooks

@lenoreraven9758 Ай бұрын

Waldenbooks was part of Borders. Owned by the same company. Both gone now

Kind of surprised to not see Hills Dept Store on this list

This video serves as a cautionary tale for those who do not check their scripts.

@alexp2915 Ай бұрын

It seems like there wasn’t really anything some of these stores, like Borders or Blockbuster, could do to adapt in the face of Amazon and streaming - it just wasn’t a fair fight 😕

Ames made the mistake of buying competing retailers putting them into too much debt. Previously, the had bought Zayres and those stores were rebranded Ames

@rebels42wynn83 Ай бұрын

AMES, BRADLEES, B. DALTON, ZAYRES, AND WALDENBOOKS will always a very special place in my heart. Great memories, great merchandise, and great prices. Your list had missed PHAR-MOR.

@DesertRainReads Ай бұрын

Ames especially here, I remember there used to be one in the same Plaza where a local Market Basket (regional chain grocery store) and I used to go there to see what Playstation and Sega Saturn games they would have on display. I built up a nice little library that way.

I have a feeling I know the location of the Macy's that was featured at 21:12!

You might want to come up with a different phrase other than “a cautionary tale”
