My Mom bought me the original Atari 2600 at Toys R Us in Shoppers World for Christmas! Wow. That was 1980.I was 13. I'm Old. Thanks for the video memories.This establishment was a staple and a right of passage for many people that were around to remember it!
You may recall the two big ancient willow trees on the cinema side, outside the mall. Sadly, they blew down in 1985 when the tail end of hurricane Gloria came through. I drove by the wreckage before it was hauled away. I took some small branches and shoots. Put them in water jars, and eventually they grew roots and some got leaves. One was planted on my family's land, and now it's a 70 foot tall 36 year old willow tree. Actually, the same tree that blew down. : )
I worked at Jordan's in the 70's as a PT job as a high schooler. Thanks for look back! The employee's entrance went to the lower level. We had a separate entrance I remember. Lot's of memories there
I had a friend who used to work on the loading dock...I'd met him at that employee's entrance where the 'remote entrance' was. That was also where the B&W/Grey Lines bus stop was. I left Fram. in '93...so shocking to re-visit, now.
When I was a kid back in the 70s living in Newton Massachusetts, Shopper’s World in Framingham was the place to go. We’d all get in the car on a Saturday morning and literally spend the entire day shopping for kitchen appliances, home electronics, or back to school clothing. Those were good times especially around Christmas.

Christmas time was always the best time of year there! Thank you for sharing this lovely memory with us.
Awww I go here all the time, wish I had gone there back when it was something more. I thought shoppers world is where Nordstrom Rack & TJ’s Max is at.
Edit not the actual mall.
Who remembers gate post store in the lower level that used to get flooded.
Wild
He is exciting
