What's nice about the Kessler Exchange ad is that at least four out of the five businesses highlighted are still around today (AZ Industries, Janit Baldwin Fashions, Carley Wood Associates, and Software Associates Publications).
@blugreen123 Hobby Pants, after a Google search, turn out to be like those sans a belt slacks old men like to wear. They have an elastic waist but look dressy. I found an ad from a scan of a rotarian magazine from 1978 and it advertised Hobby Pants.
The pizza & the cake was so yummy at ShowBiz. I went to Chuck E Cheese back in like 2000 or something like that, and the food was awful, I couldn't finish it. :o(
Showbiz -- where the greatest arcade games of the 80s rub out all those hideous mechanical animal memories In Soviet Russia, Land Highs you! Hard Knox -- Top Gun prequel?
It's amazing how products like "The Kessler Exchange" are now so easily accessible from the internet, especially from illegal downloading sites (I assume) that hard copies of text are so obsolete.
They pretty much went out of business around 1993. They didn't put it like that, no, like most failing businesses, they claimed to be "reorganizing". Funny how a business that is there to help OTHER businesses goes defunct. Blind leading the blind. In 1993 though, one could not blame the wed since the web was pretty limited at the time.
ok, so there were two rat mascot pizza arcade chains at the same time? one doesn't make sense. i understand that rats like cheese, and cheese is on pizza, but that,s also a pretty good reason not to remind people of rats where you sell pizza. I never understood the appeal, even as a child. i liked pizza, liked games, never wanted to do it at a rat themed restaurant.
there's nothing like a racially insensitive advertising mascot (Mohawk Carpet) what are "hobby pants"? OMG! I totally remember Showbiz Pizza. I was terrifiede of the animatronics like everyone else. i think they eventually morphed into Chuck E. Cheese's. so many furniture ads, and so much of it ugly... thee Kessler exxchange sounds intriguing, tho

My Grandma had one of those "rower exercisers." I could never play with it without pinching myself on that stupid huge spring. lol

There's Value City stores in or around Northeast Ohio.
at 6:07, is this the same Shelbyville from the Simpsons?
before there was eHarmony there was matchmaker international
Value City closed up its last stores about three years ago.

The way that guy in the first commercial about matching making looks, he probably been alone the past 15 years :)
Before there was Etsy and the Shark Tank, there was Kessler Exchange.
