Never really spent time in Kaybee Toys. When my nieces and nephews were the age to buy for I preferred Toys R Us and miss those more! Bigger spaces and more to offer.
I remember Walden Books in the lake side mall in Metairie Louisiana and Lake side theater it was across the street from a Schwegmann's grocery store it has been torn down it was where I saw Superman the movie when I was 12 years old
In fact a lot of these stores we're really more known in the 90's, . From what I remember. . A lot of these stores in this video didn't get big and well-known until then.
Zare's. . Bi-rite, . Children's Palace, . Gold Circle, . Silvermans, . Revco. . Forest City, . RadioShack, . Sears, . Just to name a few from my area in Ohio that aren't around anymore that were big in the 80s.
I never understood the appeal of Hollywood Video. When you'd walk in, they'd have entire walls of the same current title. That whole idea never made sense to me. I mean, why couldn't they just devote a shelf with the box art and keep the actual copies behind the counter or in the back room? Another problem with that is if the movie sucked and no one wanted to watch it, the place was pretty useless. They had a very small portion of the store with other titles, but they'd have only a few copies if any. Thanks for the video though! Brought back some memories.
Hollywood video was not really around, or that big if it was, in the 80s, neither was Blockbuster for that matter for the most part, . . I remember going to local Mom and Pop style video stores, . They always had that off limits room behind The swinging doors in the back. . . Those big movie store chains were more of a 90s thing even though it started in the late eighties
Like the past so the future in the name nothing new under the son....of suns just titles that's good business.... reorganized and re/named peace to all
Dearly miss all these stores 😢
I still have malls here in south east Asia where I live but I sure really miss these stores. I wish they were still around today

lol, we always went into KB Toys as kids but never actually purchased anything there. We would look and then end up buying it later at ToysRus.
I remember shopping at some of these growing up in the 90s/early 2000s
Never had a KB or Venture or Kiddie city stores. Loved Toys R Us though. And Borders
Really good record stores downtown but 80s built different

I miss blockbuster videos.

I never rented at Hollywood Video. I went there to buy. But this was in the 2000's when I was in my 30's. They had a great Anime section.
I cannot believe Blockbuster didn't pioneer home delivery of movies and then streaming video. A case study in failed senior leadership.
