Their toy department was next level. Thank you!

My god, I could talk all day about the memories.....I'm 49 now, I got all of my Kenner Star Wars toys there , Gi Joe, I remember every inch of what one location was like and after years later , it turned into toys r us, I walked through it and it was so weird, I remember where everything use to be! I remember a tiny cafeteria in the back that sold these amazing French fries , my first records I bought with my own money were from there , Madonna Like A Virgin! I remember the men's department as I got older and I could buy my own clothing , I use to think I was such a player picking out my hang ten and brut bikini briefs ... I remember that concession stand that you'd smell entering at the end of the cash resisters ... popcorn and cherry slushee's, they had a brachs pick a mix area, I won a huge Xmas stocking one year after picking the right number out of a fishbowl when I bought a slushee the candy machines had stickers in those plastic bubbles that would come out when you'd put a quarter in... we had s upper parking level on this one and me and my brother loved going up and down in the elevator!!!!

It was a great place to work in the 80s as a teen, lots of fun. I was there when it closed down and a lot of tears were shed by everyone.

Worked at GC from 1980 to 1987 in Columbus, OH. The most fun at any job I've ever had. Lifelong friends and fond memories. I miss the store.

I grew up in Dayton, Ohio and I remember my parents taking me to shop at Gold Circle. I used to hang out in their music section.

The popcorn, pretzels and Icees. Also, I loved looking at the records and great selection of toys they had. I love you forever, Gold Circle.

I bought my first LP at Gold Circle in Evendale OH in the early 1980s: Business As Usual by Men at Work. My family shopped there often, especially during back-to-school season, back when there were no pre-washed jeans. You bought the new, cardboard-stiff jeans in the fall, wore them all year to break them in, then cut them off in the summer for shorts. Man am I old now.

I remember wanting to buy makeup and perfume from these stores. I loved them. But I was very young. The prices were too high for our family. Going there was a special treat. I didn’t know that they lasted only til ‘88.

I vaguely remember Gold Circle. There was one in Springdale, Ohio (across from Tri-County Mall) and that is the one we always went to. Since they closed in 1988, I was only 4 at the time, and though I don't remember too much about the inside of the store, I remember exactly where the Springdale store was... which was the same plaza as Toys R Us and Service Merchandise. Caddy-corner to that plaza was another shopping plaza with Camelot Music and Zayre. I haven't been in that area for a few years now, but as recently as 2019, the Kemper Road entrance immediately adjacent to the Gold Circle store still had the entrance and exit signs intact and in good shape.

I was born in Columbus and GC was our go-to for school clothes, typically the night before the first day :).

I am from Dayton Ohio and the Gold Circle we shopped at in the 70s was on Gettysburg Ave. it was in a plaza

Finally!!!! Thank you for bringing attention to Gold Circle. I long for pics inside the store. Hardly any commercials exist. Gold Circle was my jam as s kid!!!! Thank you thank you

My brother and I got a huge Tyco race set in the mid 70’s at GC, Ontarios foods was next door. Then Fazios, I miss those days.

I remember playing Nintendo games at a gold circle in Rochester NY , they had a demo setup in the electronics section , that store ended up becoming a Hills and then eventually Caldor before closing for good in the mid 90’s

Gold Circle opened seven stores in Northern California in the mid 70s. Four were in the San Jose area and three were in Sacramento. I worked at one of the Sacramento stores from November of 1977 until they closed the stores in 1981. Ahh... memories !

In the Mid-80's, Gold Circle (Massilon OH) was the first place I saw CDs being sold along with the record albums. VHS tapes as well. But mostly I was looking at what Transformers they had on the shelves.

I worked for GC from 1984-1988 at store #38 in Cuyahoga Falls.

Absolutely delighted to find a video on this store, I remember quite fondly my mom taking me to one when I was a child. One of my earliest clear memories of visiting the store at night, and seeing the ‘gold circle’ logo there. I can’t really recall if I got anything from there, but I do recall a bottle of some kind of talcum powder with a Gold Circle price sticker on it that was in our linen closest for DECADES.😅 I wish I could recall the interior, I remember it better when it became a ‘Hills’, and then a ‘Caldor’, though the layouts were changed to fit the different stores themes. This one was at the ‘Greece towne mall ‘ in NY, which later became the ‘Greece ridge mall’. The area the stores occupied eventually became a movie theatre in the mid 90’s after Caldor left, and it’s been that ever since.

My friend worked there in high school. he became an aeronautical engineer on the space shuttle. the building is now a Marc's grocery store. I got the Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Heroes in Action figures at Gold Circle. the other store names I remember are Clarkins, Woolworth's, Hills, Zayre, K Mart, J&B and Best.

My hubby worked there during the cabbage patch thing..

I remember the one in Colerain, OH. That one was behind a Showbiz/Chuck E. Cheeses and it even had a movie theatre in it called Gold Circle Cinemas.

Bought all of my HeMan action figures there at the Massillon store

Our gold circle changed into Caldor, then that closed

Could you make a video soon on another local mall in my area called miromar factory outlet mall it opened in 1993 and closed in 2000 it was located in Champlain New York

Can you do one about caldor

First place I got caught shoplifting.

Which request did you got for new videos you have a lot like what¿

$60! $20 even $10, that is gold, living up to their name. We couldn't afford all that. They had all night special hours? We had one in Mayfield Ohio.

I remember going to a Gold Circle in Charlotte NC back in the '80s. It wasn't open for long at all, maybe a couple months. Next thing I knew, it was a Target (that was the first Target I ever saw). I mentioned Gold Circle to my family a couple times over the years, but no one remembers it. This video proves I didn't imagine it!
