One factor was probably that most retail was closed on Sunday, except for some drugstores, and their wasn't a proliferation of c-stores. In parts off NC, the blue laws even affected c-stores. I was researching something else the other day at the library and came across an article on the first 7-11 ...

Big Star stores NOT connected with Colonial
I know there was a post on something related to this but I can't seem to find it, and either way, it might merit more elaboration. Apparently, there were Big Star stores is places like Mississippi, Arkansas, and maybe Tennessee (perhaps others as well) that were not connected with Colonial Stores. I...

There was a Peaches a block from my house when I was a teenager, so a significant chunk of my early record collection came from there. I won a cpy of the first Tom Petty album the night they opened (on clear red vinyl, yet). They had an unusually good combination of prices and selection. The stores ...

Some messages from a different topic which should really be here instead: From 12/1/05: Another interesting store in Cobb was Treasure Island on Cobb Parkway at Terrll Mill, later Zayre and lastly Value City. I was pre-teen, so memories of it are vague, but I believe it was JC Penney's version of a ...

I'm going to move all the Treasury-specific posts from this thread over there just to keep it neat. Sorry, it's some cleanup I should have done as the topic developed.

The first BiLo's constructed near my area, Canton and Cartersville, GA used the current logo but had a cow between Bi and Lo. Both these stores are closed recently and were both next to still operating Kmarts. As I mention in the Charlotte section of the site, about 75% of Bi-Lo's initial entry int...

It's only the second time in the history of the board that it's happened for any reason other than spam, and it didn't make me terribly happy having to do so. I like to think of this board as a friendly place. In fact, th...

Sunny Select and Presidents Choice are not extinct. PC still exists in Canada (it's owned by Loblaw), and I'm betting it's still sold in certain parts of the US as well. Sunny Select is a trademark owned, I believe, buy a joint distribution venture of Save-Mart and Raley's, who still carry these pro...
