Marquette Mall in Marquette, MI has a car dealership in a former Angeli's Supermarket space (Angeli's being a now defunct local chain).

Searstown Mall in Titusville is still open, though for how long is anyone's guess. It's currently anchored by Sears (duh), Bealls Florida, and Fred's. (Anyone know what the Fred's used to be? I'm guessing it was a Winn Dixie or Publix.) Most of the mall space is now offices. The Mall at Whitney Fiel...

Mall 205, which opened in 1970, had a Montgomery Ward (what were M205's other anchors?). It then added a Pay Less Drug Store (the chain known now as Rite-Aid) several years later. Mall 205 opened with a White Front in addition to Montgomery Ward. 205 also had a Troutman's Emporium (now Home Depot)....

I think that the mall you are thinking of is the old Cross County Mall on the corner of Military Trail and Okeechobee Rd. (Palm Beach Lakes T's into Okeechobee just east of the mall). It is now a strip mall. The Winn Dixie that was in a small outparcel moved into the former Kmart space and Office D...

My Kmart (Oscoda, MI) is one of only two that I know of (the other being Alpena, MI) that still has a K Café at all. Granted, these K Cafés are no longer Little Caesar's, having dropped the Pizza! Pizza! a while ago.

Crago was always Crago (Olsons) in Petoskey and at always at its current location across from what use to be Lockwood McDonald hospital. You're getting Krogers 1st Superstore (only) location confused. Let me straighten things up - get things back on track - Ok? Kroger was originally where the curre...

Here're a couple.

1. A very small town near me, called Fairview, used to have two IGA stores RIGHT ACROSS from each other. Not bad for a fourcorners.

2. In the 1930s, Greenville, Michigan had two A&P's a block apart.

I've got a couple scraps of in fo on Charleston - it opened in 1956, and was anchored by Skaggs Drugg, Woolworth, Thrift Mart, and possibly Lucky's. It was demalled in 1988. At least it's some info. While we're on the subject of Nevada, I would like to know the history of Silver City Mall in Carson ...

Was the Cunningham Drug stores in Michigan related to the Cunningham Drugs stores in South Florida during the 1970's and early 1980's? Growing up in South Florida we had Cunningham Drugs in Boca Raton and I recall one in the Galt Ocean Mile area of Fort Lauderdale. I don't know about the Cunningham...

I could SWEAR I already posted this... Green Acres Plaza in Saginaw, MI had two supermarkets from its opening in 1960 until about 1993. At one end, next to endcap anchor WT Grant, was A&P, and Food Fair was at the other end, towards JCPenney (the other endcap). This plaza also had Federals Depar...

One time I was at a Ben Franklin Crafts store that was going out of business. This was back in 2001, I was 14 at the time. Since the store was closing, I politely asked if I could take pictures - the management not only said yes, but actually encouraged me to do so! I even got a picture of the manag...

With me, it's most likely the nostalgia bit. I'm only 19, so I'm often curious as to how things were before my time... I never got to go to a Woolworth dime store and eat at a lunch counter. I never got to take a trip with the family to the Woolco at the new mall. Perhaps the catalyst for it all was...

Here's another extinct store brand - President's Choice. Glen's and other Spartan Foods brands (Prevo's, Ashcraft's,* Family Fare, Oleson's, Tom's, etc.) carried them. I remember that President's Choice made a very interesting (and tasty) flavor of potato chips - they were barbeque, sour cream &...

West Main Mall in Kalamazoo had a Jewel Foods in a former JCPenney (originally WT Grant). If I'm not mistaken, this location lives on as Harding's Market, even though the mall has been torn down. And even though it's not a typical grocer, Cost Plus World Market operates in a former Walgreens in the ...

Here are the Michigan locations I'm aware of, all former Yankee stores. * Dort Mall, Dort Hwy. (M-54), Flint (later Sears Outlet, now Perani's Hockey World and Bargain Hunterz thrift store) * Gratiot (M-46), Saginaw (later 3•D, then Tradeway, then Hills, currently Kmart. All of the above changes wer...
