This building went through A LOT of brand name changes ! Originally W.T. Grant/Grant City (fall 1972-December 1975), later Woolco (March 1977-January 1983), then Caldor (May 26th of 1983-April 1999), and finally Kmart (November 14th of 1999-October 20th of 2024), then the last full size one in the mainland United States. This store is now a Target: https://massmarketretailers.com/target-gives-a-preview-of-new-bridgehampton-n-y-store-ahead-of-opening/

W.T. Grant was founded in 1906 by William Thomas Grant (1876-1972), went bankrupt and ceased to exist in 1976, Woolco was founded in 1964 and went out of business in 1983, Caldor was founded in 1951 and closed up shop on May 15 1999. But Kmart, founded on July 31st of 1899, is still in business with 3 stores and a website Kmart.com (which has been stuck with a banner stating "These Deals Won't Last Forever" on the home page since December 2021). The Kmart distribution center closed down last month on September 16th in Fairless Hills Pennsylvania, leaving us with [3 functioning DCs] (https://transformwo.com/). And 140-year-old retailer Sears also still operates Sears.com and has 5 stores:

The very last standalone Sears store, at Coral Gables, FL (near Miami) 10/27/1954-present, there is also a Kmart nearby at Kendall Lakes Plaza (1977-present)
Sunvalley Mall, Concord, CA (near San Francisco) 10/19/1966-present

Edit: sadly MyGofer didn't last long

Acme in New Holland, Pennsylvania (the store was open from 10/13/65 to around ‘77-‘78)

I shot this on a really cheap Minolta camera not knowing what I was doing. I miss when the malls were more alive.

I’m wondering if anyone works for Walmart or has an in and has any idea when the specialty Mainstays 3 wick candles with Christmas wraps on them will be in stores? These are the ones from last year for example

Because of pure greed, he was able to strip these iconic brands and sell them off for parts piece by piece until nothing remained. Pensions gone, retirements went up in smoke, and local communities went belly up.

The Acme at Laurel Mall in Connellsville PA was open from 1970-1979

Quintard Mall opened in Oxford, Alabama in 1970 with J.C. Penney and Britt’s (J.J. Newberry Co.) as anchor stores. There was also a SupeRx Drugs and a number of other stores, with Martin's as a junior anchor.

On October 9th of 1985, Sears opened in the former Britt's building, and the [building was expanded in 1997, with the mall itself being expanded in 2000, adding 2 anchors Dillard's and AmStar 12 Cinemas] (https://web.archive.org/web/20091005032251/http://www.icsc.org/srch/sct/sct0501/page141.php). It had a black 1984-1994 logo outside the building, and blue 1994-2004 logo inside the mall, along with a totally unique interior and exterior design and mall entrance. That same year of this store opening, in 1985, [Sears Hardware Stores began opening] (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/01/07/Sears-Roebuck-and-Co-Monday-announced-plans-to-open/3314473922000/).

Less than a week ago, Neiman Marcus shuttered its original location in Downtown Dallas—a landmark in the city for more than a century. But part of the store's history will live on at another North Texas location.

On Sept. 30, Neiman Marcus officially closed its flagship store at 1618 Main St. in Dallas. Founded in Dallas in 1907, the company has operated from the Main Street location since 1914, after a fire destroyed its original building. Now, Saks Global, Neiman Marcus' parent company, is shifting its focus to its NorthPark Center store, currently under renovation at 8687 North Central Expressway.

The cereal aisles packed full house!
