    Goldblatts was a great store yet reinvented through Walmart. It was a childhood store.

    Woolworths but also Adams children clothes as it had a good variety and it saved the time shopping with the wife

    Denby's department store that used to be in Troy, NY. It was like the Macy's of upstate and it even had a restaurant in it. It went out of business in the 70's. I guess it couldn't compete with the "big box" stores.

    Pic 'n' Save (California) which became known as MacFrugal outside California.

    Big Lots, which took its place, isn't Pic 'n' Save.

    I miss Pic 'n' Save.

    J.J. Newberry's. They had a lunch counter, and wheh I was 6-8 yrs. old, my mom & I would go there on Saturday and share a toasted chicken salad sandwich, chips, and a cherry coke, (fountain kind), she passed, but that is the one thing I shared with my son for years before he moved away. Great and fond memory...makes me smile. +6 Thank you !

    "M.E. Moses", an old 5¢ and 10¢ store than was a great store for getting things you grew up with, that most people have never heard of, these days (such as "on the wall bottle openers, flour sifters, corks, etc.").

    P.S. There are still a few of them in smaller towns (and other states), but none close to me.

    I presume you are interested in the impact of 2009's recession. I will miss Sharper Image and Linens and Things for their rare and clever items not found in the Department stores.

    Fedco, a membership department store in Southern California. It's been gone for ten years now. It was great.

    T. G. & Y. STORES. I loved those stores as a little girl. My grandmother would take me there on Saturday afternoons. We eat lunch there and make it a day for just us girls. The store had the most phenomenal smell of candy and fresh hot popcorn. That popcorn wasn't the toss in the microwave type of today. What wonderful memories of time spent with my "Ma". I lost Ma in 1999. Ma was 97 years old when she left us to go Home. In her final days we were able to share many memories and T. G. and Y. was a big topic.

    Ohrbach's...

    Remember how on TV shows (in the 1960s) you'd often hear, "Fashions by Ohrbachs"?

    Market Basket (California)

    I know there are chains that go by that name in Texas and New England. The Market Basket stores in Texas even look like the ones in California.
