There used to be one in Ti, loved going there. Imagine that, shopping at a retail store, and grocery shopping at a grocery store. We used to have several of them, also. Now, the only option is Wal-Mart:Idiots

That store was a shithole. Dirty and never seemed to have anything I went there for.

While we’re on old stores does anybody remember Jamesway? There used to be one in Rotterdam where Hannaford is now. I remember going there alot when I was a kid.

Bradlee’s in Mohawk Mall was a store I remember as a kid too. Kinda like a Walmart in some ways.
