I just work for bradlees in 1999 in woodbridge new jersey. now wallmart is in that place.

DO NOT FEED SHANIQUA!!!!!

I saw the beginning and end used to ride my bike there. They are worse than locusts.

Food and you know. Beasts. Porch. Tell the truth.

Oh, great vid. I was employee of Hollywood way back in the day. The big growth boom gave opportunities for us store directors ( we were called directors, not managers, to keep with the movie lingo) a chance to move up real quick. Becoming district & regional directors. Leaving the best run stores with less experienced staffing. It was at this point, Hollywood was experiencing a problem with loss on a big level. Then they had the brilliant idea of adding the game store, which lead to even more loss. (Loss = theft) I left the organization shortly after that point, because Hollywood was sinking. Enjoyed your vid, brought back some memories for sure. I'm glad your vid popped up today.

There is still an abandoned ames in horseheads NY

I worked at steak and ale at fort Worth Texas and then I quit and then the next night the manager got shot. True story he drove me home the night before.

You want me to enjoy? The whole world is going out of business. Where should I go to make a living again?

Loved this video! We had a Burger Chef In Midland, TX and my friend Rae and I would eat there quite often. They had a deal we loved where you could buy 10 for a dollar and we would split it for five apiece. You have to remember that they were small burgers and only had ketchup, mustard, and a few dill pickle slices. Fond memories and I wish they had stayed open! I was a teen in the late 60's and never new happened to the company. Thanks for the great video! Two thumbs up!🤗

My grandfather was a long time manager for Big Bear, starting out as an associate and worked his way up, and even had Wayne Brown as a mentor. Wayne would ask my grandfather to be the manager of opening locations across Ohio, including the Hart stores when they first opened adjoined to BB, and he always accepted the offer. Because apparently, if you said no, then you wouldnt get the chance to be promoted with Big Bear ever again. So you always had to say yes. He did love it there though and I try to follow in his footsteps with my own career.

The time capsule is now at Nickelodeon Studios in Burbank, California...

Western sizzler fell to sirloin stockade there were a lot of them but the Texas theme was there catch like outback not being from Australia 😂😂😂😂No body could beat ponderosa great big building and no dress codes they served you like cattle .Fat people can eat and not feel uninvited.

I think roast beef is one of those meats that many people never try unless their parents ate that meat and they only think of Arby’s due to all of their marketing spend. Let’s add in run down old locations and it’s not going to attract new customers unless they are stopping there because they saw That Nate Guy on Tosh talking about Rax. 😂😂😂

I usually spotted MC locations in lower to mid level strip malls around Ohio. Yes, it was similar to Dunhams and also a bit like Hibbets. Nothing very impressive, but anything to choose from beyond Dicks is better. Hoping Academy expands. I can’t stand DSG. They just sell clone Nike and under Armour gear at full price, but people keep buying it because they are not exposed to other brands in the marketplace.

You can still order them through doordash

I loved Bradlee's. Over the years I went to many stores in many places. Starting with Dedham, Watertown, I'm guessing there was one in Burlington. Danvers... Swampscott. I I went to stop & shop a lot as well. But then when I was married and we went grocery shopping, we would hit as many as five different supermarkets in one night. One of those nights being the night of the perfect storm. The one in the movie. We didn't know it was anything special. We just knew we were getting really wet. Back to Bradlee's. I'm not sure which store it was but I know it was over my budget. But the store was closing and I wasn't going to be back and I bought these cardboard boxes with flowers on the outside one of which I can still see at the other side of my room. In fact, even though I have a bunch of clothing that I have no idea where I got it, if I look around my room I can still see a pair of pants I got at Caldor, some jeans from Ann & Hope., a bunch of tops from Kmart, a running bra from Target - probably lots of stuff from Target and a bunch of stuff from Amazon. I figured they were out of business in the '90s. But sometime after 95. I think the shirt on the back of my door with the tiny flowers is from Sears. I don't think that in the Northeast we ever had Montgomery Ward JCPenney what's that other one I'm thinking of. Oh right Walmart. It started showing up in the '90s. I still have the jacket I bought in 1999 for $20 from Walmart. It was raining that day and I really needed to be dry. It has a rip on the inside from where I ran my suitcase over it at LAX. I don't know which time at LAX. I still have a few dresses from the '90s that will never ever fit again no matter how much weight I lose because contents may have shifted during flight. They all have tight bodices. That was big in the '90s. And I liked it. The only one that ever fit again after I lost weight was the one that was size 9. We had to buy it off the mannequin. I got the size 9 so it would hide my pot belly. I'm sure it doesn't fit anymore either. But I haven't been wearing a lot of dresses. I really did love Bradlee's though. I don't remember any snack bars. Oh that size 9 - That was Ann & Hope.

Steve & Barry's was just too good to be true. They sold really high quality clothes, for an affordable price. I have clothes I got from Steve & Barry's 20 years ago, that still hold up today. Whereas, I have shirts I bought a year ago from elsewhere, that are already falling apart.

Well when your a lot like Kmart, you'll eventually die much the same way. Sad though.

Worked at the Bradlees location in (now gone) Riverside Mall in North Utica, NY from 1989-1991 while in high school. I was in the "Sight and Sound" electronics department. A couple big memories... 1) Got put as the ONLY person in the electronics dept on Black Friday morning 1989 until like 1pm... To say I was SWAMPED is putting it mildly (Sight and Sound had its own cash register, so not only did I have to help customer, pull big items like TVs out of the back stock room, but also cash people out.) The next morning I was again on the schedule and was restocking shelves before open when the manager came on the PA and announced that I had single handedly sold a record amount of product the day before (something like $17K worth!) 2) The summer of 91, I got stuck on the schedule to work July 4. I frankly was pretty pissed off because being the youngest in the dept, I ALWAYS got screwed having to work holidays, and I had asked for that day off as I had made plans with friends. So I decided to call in and not show. The next day the store manager called me into his office to give me a "stern talking to" and tell me how "this would go in my permanent record".... To which I laughed at him and responded "You realize I'm leaving for college in 6 weeks, and 4 years from now I'll be making more than you do. Do you REALLY think I care?" And true to my word, I graduated from Georgia Tech with a BS in Comp Sci and got my first job making $35K and within a year after that it was $50K which was more than he made (and they closed that store by then, so really I was making a LOT more than him!) 3) I HATED the time after Christmas every year. From Christmas until around May we wouldn't get ANY new stock in... Oh they'd run sales every week, but we would have none of it in the store, so it would be week after week of writing rain checks for customers who would be pissed off that they made the trip from 30+ miles away to buy something that we didn't have in the store. We could have sold SOOO much more if they had ever gotten stock in. 4) One time we had a kind of shady seeming couple come in and try to buy 5 of the largest (27" tube!) TVs we had (god those things used to break my back trying to lift them down from the storeroom in the back!). They wanted to pay by check... I couldn't authorize a check that big so I got the assistant manager to come down and deal with them. It was also the company policy that we had to record the serial number of every TV sold and have the customer print and sign their name in the record book. These folks didn't want to do it. I insisted I couldn't sell them the TVs if they didn't. The manager overrode me and let them have the TV's without signing the book, and he approved the check... 2 days later I'm having to give a description of the couple to the Police who were investigating the fraudulent check they used... I KNEW something was off with them!!! Don't think they ever caught the scammers. I enjoyed my time working there, it was generally low stress and gave me money for a car and some extra spending money my first year of college, but I NEVER EVER EVER will work retail again after my experiences dealing with the public there!

When it closed was one of the Saddest days of Clark County.

Rikes was the best.

Man i wish they would reopen that store! Had great apparel for great prices! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I really miss Christmas time in the 90s when I was a kid. I loved the variety of stores that’s totally gone these days. I miss the Christmas displays at some stores. There was a store near us called GBoys in new jersey that had this whole Christmas walkthrough that was awesome.

Does anyone remember the address of the one that was in Statesville NC?

It is really interesting to watch this while being less than a half mile away from its former location.

I highly dought the Time Capsule actually still exists even though they say it does at the animation studio in California. If I had to make a bet or educated guess on what happened to the time capsule is that it was sent to the landfill with the slime guizer. You see the reason I say this is due to the fact is by the time that 2042 comes around that kids of the 90's will have children of there own and there children most likely will have children of their own and so no one really will remember much about the time capsule but a very few people. These networks want something that is profitable. Something like keeping the time capsule and opining it in 2042 has not profit for the company. Being that kids in 2042 most likely will have no idea what any of the stuff that is in the time capsule is and most likely will not care. So if Nickelodeon can not make a profit you can bet nothing is going to happen with that. So I would bet to guess that time capsule was sent to a landfill and is long gone.

I worked at Steve & Barry’s in San Diego when it closed, and it was such a strange experience. The store always felt like it was thriving-weekends were packed with customers, and it seemed like business was booming. That’s why it was such a shock when, out of nowhere, they told us we were shutting down and handed us our walking checks. There was no warning, no hint that things weren’t going well. It caught all of us completely off guard, and honestly, it still bums me out a little when I think about it because it was a such cool store and fun to work at.

I worked at Murphy's Mart when Ames took over they trippled their store count with over 350 Murphy's Mart store's .that were not struggling our store was an old Korvettes location did 10 million a year sales dropped to 6 million after the remodel.

My BMW motorcycle dealer is across the street. Watching the new apartments being built is fun. Also the housing development off of Treat Rd is coming along fine. More stores and a park is to be added also. The factory that I used to work at would have their yearly family picnic there and after, the rides were free for the remaining of the day. Many companies did this for their employees. Sure miss the good times.!!

I once bought 5 pair of Starburys in one outting

Don Pablo's was great until they sold the chain to the corporate factor in 1998. They went from in-house, fresh -made food to factory produced frozen food shipped to all locations, that was then heated in plastic bags. The quality drastically dropped and it went down hill from there. I still make the prairie fire bean dip at home. I wish I had one of those tortilla machines, that thing was amazing.

We used to love the late night Happy Hour - 2/1 drinks from midnight to 2. We'd get off work closing Bennigan's in N. Richland Hills & then run for the Steak & Ale in Fort Worth! (1979-82)

The sopapillas, in that honey butter sauce, were amazing. The one near Scranton closed in the mid 2000s. It opened in 1999. It was repurposed into something else I cannot recall.

The story is simple. The area became "diverse " over the years, and women were raped and people were killed. So, out of fear, people stopped going there. Simple as that.

I miss Big Bear Grrocery Stores.

Surprisingly, another mall financed by Ed DeBartlo, in Niles Ohio, the Eastwood Mall, is still open and thriving!! It started in 1969!!!❤

What About "The Rise And Fall Of Sears"

Now coming back in 2 years

My mom worked at hills and then Ames in north Versailles pa. I can still smell the popcorn and remember putting in tons of quarters to play the ninja turtles arcade game. Getting some of our school clothes put on layaway , and so many damn toys!!!! I miss it so much, thanks for flash back

I used to work for Zellers back in 2006 and even though it wasn't my favorite job, it was a ok place to buy stuff.

I managed video stores for nearly 19 years. 1987 to 2005. I started with Hollywood in December of 1996 and was there til I left right after the purchase by Movie Gallery in 2005. One of the best chains i ever worked for....lots of fun and free rentals. The customer side was great, for the most part. 19 years later i still have people who recognize me from my last location in Leavenworth Kansas. Was sad to see them all go away, one of the best jobs I ever had.

I have fond memories of this mall in the 80's. I'm pretty sure I saw E.T. there when it came out,

Don’t quit I just subbed. I love these nostalgic clips

A few Hardees restaraunts would occasionally bring back the Big Chef. 2 for 4 bucks! I loved those greasy gut bombs!

I remember the first Burger Chef. Ot was on West 16th Street. Not far from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1973 The winning Indy 500 team had their dinner at that restaurant since the victory banquet had been cancelled after 3 days of rain and tragety.

This place was a great mexican chain. I still drive by the vacant building they occupied in Waterford MI weekly.

1:54 oh sh*t I recognize that location! 😮

Say hi good jewelry and accessories I saw some red pumps that I wanted to buy it depends what mall you go to you can find some good deals there stuff sad to see it go
