Old Stores that have gone out of business that you wish were still around?

[Still-alive]

Are there any old stores that went out of business you have fond memories of and wish were still around?

Here's a couple of mine

I got memories of collecting TMNT action figures here

Rented many games and movies from these

these guys have great sales at times

some of my earliest childhood memories were at this store

There was a department store near me called ocky white that was worth a browse around. It had been there for decades and when they demolished it they found hundreds of 13th century skeletons under it

I miss the original PC World and Maplins, both in UK. They both used to sell computer parts. PC world is now part of Currys, but doesn't stock anywhere near as many parts. Maplins used to sell a lot of electronic gadgets. I think it is now just on-line. Never been to its web site. Always use Amazon now.

Sears and Roebuck, Western Auto, K-Mart, Woolco, American Dept. Store, Millers, Al's Appliances, Hardware and Supermarket, U- Save, Royal's Dept. Stores, Grand Union, Skaggs-Albertsons, Sweden House Restaurants. These were in SW Florida about 40-50 years ago.

Toys R Us is the only one of these that existed in Switzerland it was pretty cool but I only went there maybe 4-5 times in my entire childhood.

There's still Toys R Us where I live, I worked in one. But I knew that it doesn't exist in the US anymore.

I miss BlockBuster, so I wish it was still around.

I liked Toys R Us and Blockbuster too. A few bookstores too that are no longer around. Circuit City and RadioShack were pretty ok too

Target in Canada. They didn’t go outta business but they weren’t making money. So they left. If I want target items, I need to drive 2hrs

In my hometown we had a candy store from America now we don’t have it and I liked the sour patch kids sweets

Locally owned record stores! Now you can only find them in big cities.
Stores that only sold t-shirts and iron ons!
