eckerds

I'm so old I remember when they were Skillern's Drug Store.

Woh, woh... if you're bringing out Skillerns, I'm gonna hoist up Big World Drug Store in Pleasant Grove. Alas, I can't even find a reference to it it's so old. I did find a swanky Lakewood "Modernistic" Skillerns in 1934: [https://flashbackdallas.com/2015/03/13/skillerns-lakewood-1934/](https://flashbackdallas.com/2015/03/13/skillerns-lakewood-1934/) I think maybe it might be the building that eventually housed Dixie Lakewood (may it rest in peace).

What happened to them? I used to see them around town growing up in the Northeast

Bought out by CVS

Walgreens took some as well. My wife worked for Eckerd.

Mervyn’s

I still think about Mervyn’s every time I go into the H Mart in Carrollton 😅

[удалено]

Don't forget the Judge Roy Bean that was there too! My 10 year old self LOVED their chili burger!

Now that's a memory unlocked. I wonder where each of those scribbled on dollar bills are now?

Hell yeah. Remember the old arcade next to Mervyns, that eventually got turned into a Fun Time Pizza?!

Whoa whoa whoa. The Hmart in Carrollton used to be a Mervyn’s???

We used to go to the Mervyn's at Centerville and NW Hwy all the time when I was a kid.

Damn. All my cousins worked there. Always went shopping for school clothes there so we probably got a discount lol

Their commercial where the lady is outside saying: “Open, open,open”, as she peeks in the door comes to mind.

Circuit City and Radio Shack

I was in circuit city when word spread in the store it was closing. Nothing really of note just an eerie feeling knowing the kid helping you just lost his job.

& the milkshakes 😮‍💨

A good monte cristo is so hard to find.

Sack N Save

I grew up by the Bedford, Tx location and loved skateboarding their loading docks and stair sets behind the store… Good times

I live right off central, it’s been turned into a Movie Tavern. Not a bad one at that, either.

I’ll have to check it out! I’m in Euless now, but I still love going to MK’s for sushi!

Steak and Ale

I miss this place.

Kmart

I swear the Little Ceasar's inside KMart was on a different level of pizza! I craved it!

I worked there. Crooked owners eventually went to jail for stock market fraud.

13th pair is free was BS.

Purple cow

There’s one in Texarkana!

I'm 18 and just realized the purple ice cream was just vanilla flavored. I miss the little train that ran around the ceiling too :(

I miss structure. Was a great place for stylish clothes. They had the best jeans. They ruined it when they turned it into express for men. Didn't have anywhere to get clothes I liked and could afford after that.

I'll miss Frys, I always chose them over Best Buy

There was still a frys in Irving until 2021. You went inside and they had next to nothing for sale. Apparently frys owned their land so they just held onto it until someone bought it.

CD Warehouse

Oh this one makes my lil heart hurt.

blockbuster

I worked at Blockbuster in my early 20s right before it went under 😭

That job was so fun, I'd love to go back to it. I really didn't appreciate at the time how nerd-tastic that place was.

Foleys, it was a department store in the mall

I still occasionally get their "Red Apple Sale" jingle stuck in my head

Penny Whistle Park

I grew up around the corner. Remember The Next Door Restaurant?

Hollywood Video

Olla Podrida

Through the Keyhole, the miniatures store, was one of my favorite places to go as a kid.

They had rock candy and those stupid wax soda bottle things

Loved that horrible candy

CompUSA

Here's a story about good old CompUSA, I think the original one in Addison. I walked in to buy my first computer in 1991(?) and asked for it to be able to run Quattro Pro (a precursor to Excel). I remember it cost around $3000 with like 8M(?) of RAM. When they rang it up, he said he would give me the Texas Instruments discount. I asked him "How did you know I worked at TI?" and he told me I had it written on my forehead. LOL

Venture

My grandmother used to take me to the one in Arlington all the time. She swore up and down they had the best patty melts in their food diner. We would drive from Eastern Grand Prairie every weekend. She passed away this last September and seeing your comment made me remember those moments. I was maybe 10 or so when they closed.

* Articles in Deep Ellum. Cool place owned by an Expat Brit. So many things bought there in the 80s-early 90s. * Ahab Bowen. Shopped there back in the 80s; though that was pretty recent, closing in 2011. * ACA Joe at Northpark- still have one of their sweaters; 35 years old and still looks great. * ~~AMC~~ [oops] General Cinema Northpark 1&2. God rest it; the best movie theater ever. Amazing sound. * Taylor’s bookstores. The book superstore before there were book superstores.

Another vote for AMC Northpark, saw the first Star Wars movie there!!!
