I'm glad you got the Ames Checkout numbers 5 and 10 before they got destroyed and erased from existence. It would be a complete loss if you didn't get them.
I know way back when my mom had some of the old WalMart bags. She should still have them! My grandmother has a couple of the Smiley Face stickers the greeters would give my brother and me whenever we went too!
Wow I really enjoyed this video of all your treasures that is what makes life worthwhile as each item that you have tells a story of a bygone time and a place you’ve been❤️
Love the collections. Especially enjoy the driving videos-- to see Pennsylvania. During lockdown/ covid i get out of the house by watching your driving videos. No accidents, no buying gas. Turn on the 72" smart tv (life size) & take a drive. Feel like i know Kayla & you from the hours spent listening to your voice. Like your laugh. God bless. Im 72 yr old widow in MI.
Really cool collection Wallie. When we were cleaning out my wifes grandparents house. We split things up between the family. The 1 thing my son found and wanted to keep is a box fan. On top of the fan it says Kmart on it. The fan is in really good shape and works just fine. Its also blue like the blue light special.
Would love to see you do a demo of that Ames talking register, if it still works with new batteries - there's absolutely nothing on CZcams, so yours would be the first!
Herman’s Was a sporting goods store back in the 1980’s. The Store was located in Willow Grove PA. You might still find an old commercial for this store on you tube.
I love the collection of retail items. Especially K Mart. We have a really cool K Mart in Steger Illinois, which is a South suburb of Chicago. It's not closing yet. It's old, but well stocked and has a good amount of customers. It's the only one left anywhere near me. It's small but an awesome older store. Love it.
Awesome! I'm going to have to send you some Utah and western regional goodies once I go through and put them all together. Including some old radio station buttons and stickers
i got an old robinson's may bag i found as me & my mother were organizing her huge heap of clothing. i guess she shopped there back when they were still around.
Dude, I love your collection. So badass. If I had room in my house I would do the same thing. Hope to meet up with you if you come down to the Hagerstown KMart.
Speaking of old retail stuff, though - I actually have a JCPenney brand combo 8-track/record player. (Doesn't fully work though, there's no working audio output.)
Man In Magenta Wig could probably just need rewired or replaced. I can work with most electronics and see what I could do. Btw, if you're still in the area, I just stopped over at Repurposed to see if they have anything cool. Stop over if you want!
The Giant Eagle in Moon is ALWAYS busy. They are over priced, but they offset it with their fuel perks. I love them, but I’m originally from Northern Ohio where Giant Eagle is huge.
Holiday Hair is a chain of beauty salons in south central PA. About 20 years ago they were in some of the Walmart 's as well as in shopping centers and free standing. There aren't many now. The Walmart stores turned into Super Cuts. I checked Wikipedia and found both names are owned by Regis. Many years ago, Regis had salons also.
Hi wallie l come from Dublin already l can see vacant spaces in our local huge shopping mall/ center. Its the same for other shipping malls. Our down towns are being converted into residential accommodation as the demand do these shops is inexistent. I. 20/30 years time retail as was know it will be gone its too sad love so many memories in them
I have a blue light Kmart shirt and other Kmart shirts from working at Kmart in Elkview Wv. Before the flood took the Bridge out in The flood of June 2016.
There is a Kmart in Carlisle Pennsylvania that's doing very good it's very much alive and well if you like Kmart go to that one it's in Carlisle Pennsylvania and it has no plans of closing down anytime soon it's always busy in there
Mechanicsburg is about 35 min from me lol. Karns is a small chain based out of the Harrisburg area. Weis is pretty much EVERYWHERE down here, but their prices don't suck like some chains that take over areas lol (they have pretty direct competition from both Giant and Food Lion here) And yes, you said Weis correctly.
@as6110, hi there, sorry 5 years late, but, wow, did not know PA had Food Lion. I love Food Lion, they have good food. I went to the ones in North East Maryland, Carolla North Carolina and Delaware. The Delaware Food Lion had a squeaky automatic sliding door, lol 😂.
Karns is a small family owned grocery store, best know for their meat department. That Phar-Mor is now a golds gym. The Kmart is Home goods, Marshalls and Stein Mart.
Montgomery Ward's credit card had a Thrifty logo on the back and Thrifty's was bought out by Rite Aid here in California and used to be a well-known ice cream and Drug Store
Richman Brothers was based in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was a subsidiary of Woolworth's, which is also a dead brand. They went out of business in the early 1990s, and their factory in Cleveland is still standing, but it is abandoned.
I have a small Toys R Us bag (from Times Square) with a receipt from 2014 in it, I wonder if that will be worth anything. I was going to throw it out but after watching this I'll keep it.
Love the semicolon tattoo. I went in and tried to get one a few years ago and they wouldn't do it for me since they thought I wouldn't remember the meaning of it in a couple of decades. Needless to say, they didn't get a good review from me.
I'm really enjoying these videos like a museum tour of once great retail. Hermans World of Sporting Goods was an east coast chain mainly in NYC and NJ, probably put out of business by Dicks and Modells (Another NYC based sporting goods chain.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman%27s_World_of_Sporting_Goods Of course Kaufmanns and other regional long time department stores were destroyed when Macy's bought all of them. Macy's overexpanded and now look at them! Keep these history videos coming! We need to recall when there were many store options. I'm worried the country will become Target, Amazon and the evil Wal-Mart. Thank you for all of your awesome videos and awesome personality WallieB26. Just battled stupid weather all day going between jobs and this warmed my heart bud
Hey Wallie, I just found a gander mountain bag in my closet and wasn’t sure if you would collect something like that since it was going out business at one point last year. Thanks
omg yessss those boscovs bags! i barely ever see the old logo except for on the actual storefront. drugstore.com now leads to walgreens lol. also, do you know anything about a drugstore called Drug Emporium? it looks like they're back in business but only in a couple of southern states
Wallie, how does Giant Eagle manage to stay in business and have the ability to expand, if their prices are so high? Do they have a monopoly in the Pittsburgh area? Btw, I have one of their rewards cards...I kinda collect them.
Ah, so Giant Eagle is like how Remke seems to be in Cincinnati. Their normal prices are outrageously expensive and their cardholder prices are somehow still more expensive than Kroger's or Meijer's normal prices. I know where you're coming from.
NascarFan1795 I'd hang onto them. They are recovering from bankruptcy but who knows what will happen with Payless. If they're older, I would personally hang onto them.
ive got a real working blue light special rotating light from a Kmart that closed here back in the early 90s....remember the blue flashing lights from the blue light special dept? lol

Epic stuff man !! All in the family playing in the background so freaking awesome !!
Rad collection - your content and memorabilia has grown by leaps and bounds!
Mad respect for you owning that uncensored Dale Jr diecast
I'm stuck with the generic kiddie ones
Would love to see you do a demo of that Ames talking register, if it still works with new batteries - there's absolutely nothing on CZcams, so yours would be the first!
Omg that camera!! I would love that! I shoot film still and old film cameras are getting more and more expensive by the day 😩
Fantastic video!
Awesome collection. Pretty jealous. I can only imagine how big your collection will be in a few years!
I still kept the Sears catalog ad from Last Thanksgiving.
Just that Dare logo on that bag screams 90s! I had the shirt once! 😀

Hi, Wallie, I'm looking forward to seeing Part 3 of the video of your retail collection gems.
11:53 Son Of A G.O.A.T And A G.O.A.T Himself And Love Your Collection Hope You Do A Part 3
YO...WALLIE...VERY 😎..COOL I WANT A KMART KEY CHAIN!!!!
Interesting video. Thanks.
I feel so validated in my weird interests in retail now.
Dude, I love your collection. So badass. If I had room in my house I would do the same thing. Hope to meet up with you if you come down to the Hagerstown KMart.
You're the best Wallie keep the content coming. I love Sears and Kmart.
Me too
Speaking of old retail stuff, though - I actually have a JCPenney brand combo 8-track/record player. (Doesn't fully work though, there's no working audio output.)
Man In Magenta Wig could probably just need rewired or replaced. I can work with most electronics and see what I could do. Btw, if you're still in the area, I just stopped over at Repurposed to see if they have anything cool. Stop over if you want!
Nah, back at home now - I was stopping at GetGo to pick up some aspirin. We should hang out at some time, though.
Actually - if you're still at Repurposed, would you like that 8-track player?
The Giant Eagle in Moon is ALWAYS busy. They are over priced, but they offset it with their fuel perks. I love them, but I’m originally from Northern Ohio where Giant Eagle is huge.

If you would like to have a shirt. Get a hold of me on Facebook and Twitter and also on CZcams
Hey!! Love seeing a local youtuber!
Awesome!!
I've got a Todd Bodine #66 Kmart Blue Light Special Nascar diecast.
I'm a total dork and just googled that baseball game ticket. That ticket is from 10/6/74 against the LA Dodgers. Pirates won 3-0.
Liked it!!
I have one of your same shopping baskets and 2 Kmart Buckets
I have 7 of those store closing signs
Really Kool stuff.
There is a Kmart in Carlisle Pennsylvania that's doing very good it's very much alive and well if you like Kmart go to that one it's in Carlisle Pennsylvania and it has no plans of closing down anytime soon it's always busy in there
Wow Phar-Mor That Store Was at least 20 plus years ago. Was in Chicago for maybe 2 or 3 years.
Those back braces are between 35.00 to 50.00 new so you got an excellent buy Wallie.
I bet that Ames register toy is worth a lot more than $4.99 these days. :) Nice collection!
Mechanicsburg is about 35 min from me lol. Karns is a small chain based out of the Harrisburg area. Weis is pretty much EVERYWHERE down here, but their prices don't suck like some chains that take over areas lol (they have pretty direct competition from both Giant and Food Lion here)

Phar Mor! I remember them!
I really enjoyed these retail gems collection videos! Did you film a part 3 of your retail gems collection? Please let me know.
I know you probably don't remember Grant's or Mr wiggs stores. I miss those stores too. Big k was bought out by Walmart.
Should I save modern bags of companies in bankruptcy? I probably should save Kmart and Sears bags but what about RadioShack or Toys-R-Us bags?
Shashank R that's what I'm doing to keep for Collection
I’m holding on to toyrus bags, while a financial company did buy the Canadian division (where I live) , who knows how long they’ll last......
I have a an old blue walmart bag with the smiley face on it, in decent condition too.
Giant Eagle is a lot like Weis in our area, not many people like Weis where I live.
Karns is a small family owned grocery store, best know for their meat department. That Phar-Mor is now a golds gym. The Kmart is Home goods, Marshalls and Stein Mart.
Nice dale diecast man that's really cool. Love dale
Cool 200 Same Here Wish To Meet Him One Day
I have the same Huge Inventory Blowout sign from the Kmart at the Outlets at Montehiedra in San Juan
I have a Sprint refill card from 2001!
I got my hair cut at Holiday Hair in Hershey PA about two years ago. I think they’re still there.
Montgomery Ward's credit card had a Thrifty logo on the back and Thrifty's was bought out by Rite Aid here in California and used to be a well-known ice cream and Drug Store
Chris Hoff still is well known for the ice cream
Richman Brothers was based in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was a subsidiary of Woolworth's, which is also a dead brand. They went out of business in the early 1990s, and their factory in Cleveland is still standing, but it is abandoned.
I love it
That Giant Eagle bag is ironic
You got some awesome stuff dude
Thank you!
i work at kroger so i have a lot of promotional buttons t shirt and name tag that is why i love retail history great video as always wallie!!!
I have a small Toys R Us bag (from Times Square) with a receipt from 2014 in it, I wonder if that will be worth anything. I was going to throw it out but after watching this I'll keep it.
Awesome!
We have Albertsons in Wyoming and they are almost double priced than the other stores.
Can’t wait for pt: 3
Love the semicolon tattoo. I went in and tried to get one a few years ago and they wouldn't do it for me since they thought I wouldn't remember the meaning of it in a couple of decades. Needless to say, they didn't get a good review from me.
Wow Giant Eagle sounds just like IGA
I have a big Kmart bag just like that I also have a nascar that has the big Kmart logo on it

Thank you for all of your awesome videos and awesome personality WallieB26. Just battled stupid weather all day going between jobs and this warmed my heart bud
I got my first glove for little league at a Herman’s!!!
i found a wal mart rollback bag and a sears bag with the kmart stripe in my grandpas house
Would love to have some Kmart stuff
Funny thing is, a Sears Home & Life just opened a few months ago here.
Update: location is now closing as part of other locations in Alaska
Hey Wallie,
I just found a gander mountain bag in my closet and wasn’t sure if you would collect something like that since it was going out business at one point last year.
Thanks
Is that 'All In The Family' playing in the background?
I miss Hills so much
Where did part 3 go !?
I found a Kaufmann's paperbag in my closet. Its red with a snowflake and white plastic handles on top. I wonder what else I could find in the attic?
Lol I work at a Giant Eagle and yes the prices are high.
I found a Kmart bucket free in the dumpster at my apartment complex lol.
omg yessss those boscovs bags! i barely ever see the old logo except for on the actual storefront. drugstore.com now leads to walgreens lol. also, do you know anything about a drugstore called Drug Emporium? it looks like they're back in business but only in a couple of southern states
Do you remember the short lived discount department store Rinks Bargain City
kaufmans had been taken over by macy's sadly and that happened around 2006 the summer of 2006
Wallie, how does Giant Eagle manage to stay in business and have the ability to expand, if their prices are so high? Do they have a monopoly in the Pittsburgh area? Btw, I have one of their rewards cards...I kinda collect them.
Nice video. Love the collection. I can't stand Giant Eagle.
Ah, so Giant Eagle is like how Remke seems to be in Cincinnati. Their normal prices are outrageously expensive and their cardholder prices are somehow still more expensive than Kroger's or Meijer's normal prices. I know where you're coming from.
Are payless shoesource bags worth anything? I have 2 of them
NascarFan1795 I'd hang onto them. They are recovering from bankruptcy but who knows what will happen with Payless. If they're older, I would personally hang onto them.
WallieB26 they're newer with the orange logo
I have a Bon Ton apron
ive got a real working blue light special rotating light from a Kmart that closed here back in the early 90s....remember the blue flashing lights from the blue light special dept? lol
I have two Kmart bags that are in the attic.
Great collection hmm do you game you should do a game collection?
I really hope all of this isn't just completely worthless... I love your channel but who tf would value plastic bags from a store?..
Haha you already have it!
I feel like you deserve more subs than you currently have. Maybe 50,000 to 100,000?
Where are you going to put all of that stuff?
