I remember that Kmart went out of business in Canada in long time ago.

Ames went bankrupted and shut all stores in early 2000's.

Thanks for letting me know about that. I wasn't sure what happened.

I was the first of my group of friends to own the Pacman game for Atari.

I chose Wal-mart because it is all we have in our town besides the Dollar Store. Wal-mart done wiped out everything else! Oh, don't let me forget the Goodwill!

I voted for Target ..I do live nearby a Wal-Mart and One Dollar store no complaints from me either

Yeah, I know what you mean. We used to have Caldors, Bradlees (but not in my hometown though), Ames. Ames bankrupted twice in the 90s and then shut for good August 2000, I think. You can check at Wilkepedia website and they have a bit of history there. Also check with deadmalls DOT com then go to link about dead stores. There, check the page on ames.

Oh we also had Service Merchanise, Two Guys, Stienbach, Lechmere, Woolworth, Deys (I think I mentioned it already, lol), Sibleys, Kaufmann's, Addies and Co., Hills, Hess, Mongomery Ward, White Modell's, Media Play, Chappell's, Bon Ton, and more! We also used to have Silo, Wiz, Bonnet and Teller (very fancy expensive clothing store), and more.

Any of you guys remember Crazy Eddie?? He is truly INSANEEEEEEE!!!!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, Eddie.. no wonder you, Crazy Eddie, is in JAIL! He stole money and did tax fraud. Glad we did not have Crazy Eddie stores here. Whew! Hee hee!

AHHH, Service Merchandise and Lechmere - Those were interesting stores. I always remember those conveyor belts that things came out on from the mysterious door. If you didn't pick it up, it went out back and came back out again two minutes later.

I was rather mesmorized by this when I was little (1970s).

Oh yeah! I was in awe as a child and teen seeing how stuff come out at Service Merchandise! It was rather a quite different store! Shoppers had a clipboard and wrote down the order number and name of product and the cost as well as how many you want.. you know. Ha. It was fun to do that "inventory" your list and then bring it to the cashier and pay. Sometimes my order would arrive on the belt BEFORE I could finish paying at the cash register! Jeez! They should slow down! Haha. Interesting stuff and all. They closed last one in my hometown at Marketplace Mall in Cicero. I used to shop at Wegmans Plaza in Dewitt (closed first in late 1980s)--close to where I grew up. Oh well!

You would have liked the old Edwards Department Store. They had trains going around the store for kids while parents go shopping for Christmas. This train was more like a monorail--suspended in the ceiling so kids can see their mommys and daddys shopping or waving at them! Edwards shutted for good in 1970. It became JCPenneys. I remembered the train there at ShoppingTown (was a plaza at the time Edwards was around. Shoppingtown became a mall in 1975 without Edwards and by next year, a mixture of a mall and plaza).

I voted Walmart Superstore with reasons. 1. Foods to feed family and very affordable price than Raleys, Albertson and Bel Air.
2. Home needs, baby needs, personal needs
With Same time and much easier!
3. Open 24 hours so we can shopping after 10 pm and less ppl crowded. Also always restock more foods in shelves.

2nd choice is Target cuz love their kids styles clothes. Sometime buy clothes for kids. Foods are limited.

I shop mostly at Super Target/Target, but lately I have stopped by at the new Wal-Mart SuperCenter - it is a very different one from most Wal-Mart stores. It looks like a upscale store.

Speaking of Super K-Mart, it is allright not a place I would want to shop often. I have heard that the new K-Mart/Sear is a good company to work for.
