grinderz (local) Service Merchandise - didn't really shop there though Linens and Things (they did not all close) Cost Plus world market. CompUSA - ok haven't bought stuff there in a long time but knew some people who worked there and I used to work there Mervyn's didn't really shop there. Petite Sophisticate - I almost cried because the clothes fit correctly on me. They are selling clothes online but it is not the same company. Someone just bought the name. Sharper Image - liked to look around.

I forgot Woolworth and Woolco.

L5FanLady -> RE: Chain Stores or Restaurants That Don't Exist Anymore (9/10/2008 4:48:52 PM)
Kresky's (sp?). They were the precursor of "K-Mart."

quote: ORIGINAL: L5FanLady Kresky's (sp?). They were the precursor of "K-Mart." Kind of. Just like Woolworth's was the mother company of Woolco. The smaller "dime stores" like Woolworths and SS Kresge started the larger discount department stores inthe 50s and 60s. Their relationship was like what we have now with Wal-mart and Sam's Club.

Are there still Ponderosa Steakhouses?

Miss Giggles -> RE: Chain Stores or Restaurants That Don't Exist Anymore (9/14/2008 9:41:16 PM)
There are a couple of Ponderosas but they are just all you can eat buffets.

humbleinspirit -> RE: Chain Stores or Restaurants That Don't Exist Anymore (9/14/2008 10:32:09 PM)
No more York Steak Houses either.
