We had Zayre in South Florida back in those days my Mom loved going there.
We had Zayre's in Kalamazoo
I miss Radio Shack the most. The best place for Ham Radio operators to pick up spare parts.
My former Border's became a Books A Million store, and, surprisingly, it is still in business!
Well I must say it is really nostalgic! 😢
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.
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.
I remember Caldor, there used to be one in Chelmsford which is now a Wal-Mart.
Sounds like everything was rebranded to Macy’s then Macy’s goes belly up!!!
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.
Never heard of a lot of those department stores in western NC growing up in the 60 and 70s what was popular here was Belks,Sky City and Ben Franklin, Walden books
Take a drink every time you hear “Retail Landscape” 😂
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. 🥺😢😭😭
every time a bookstore closes we are that much closer to the death of civilization.
The stores I miss most are Sears and Toys R' Us. I used layaway at both franchises all the time.
Waldenbooks
Waldenbooks was part of Borders. Owned by the same company. Both gone now
This video serves as a cautionary tale for those who do not check their scripts.
Kind of surprised to not see Hills Dept Store on this list
"Bon Marche". 😂
I would assume you recorded before getting the footage is all, but the name is The Bon Marché in the logo and on Wikipedia. I dunno what happened, but I'm glad you included it. I've been randomly singing the classic parody jingle the entire video. Hahaha
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
Waldenbooks, and many electronics & appliances stores - Newmark & Lewis, the Wiz, Crazy Eddie; is Sam Goody still around?
I miss Service Merchandise.
I have a feeling I know the location of the Macy's that was featured at 21:12!
All those stores on that Atlantic Center sign no longer exist besides Marshalls.
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.
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.
How many of these videos I see that are the same?
I remember all of these stores and there have been many of them here in Oklahoma
where I live and across the Red River in neighboring Texas at one time or another
I'm 59 and I really miss all of these stores Thanks for the Memories and I want to
say have a wonderful safe Memorial Day and Thank You.🇺🇲🎊🇺🇲🎊🇺🇲
You might want to come up with a different phrase other than “a cautionary tale”
