Got en email today from Sears and it made me think...

Here are my 3:

1.  K-Mart:  Lived right by one as a kid and me and friends would hit that place up all the time.  The one by me even had a cafeteria for the shoppers!  Remember the Blue-Light Specials?!

2.  Blockbuster Video:  Man...going there on the weekends to either rent a game or an old Wrestlemania was the best!  Remember asking them to check if a movie was in because it wasn't on the wall at the time.

3.  Sears:  It had everything!  Ironically now it has nothing.

My 6 year old birthday party was at a WC Franks.  I loved that place.

I think Chuck E. Cheese bought all the Showbiz Pizzas and re-branded them.

KB Toys was amazing!

KB Toys was a must stop at the mall.  They had so many toys crammed into that small little mall store.

Going to a mall store like Spencers was worth a few minutes.  You could play with the globe that had the bolt of electricity, then you could go through the posters of nearly naked women.

That company eventually became GameStop.

Homer's in Omaha, even though their CD's were like $20.  No wonder they went out of business.
