There was one in the Outer Banks, NC, but it burned down this year. Poor things.

Probably, haha. Location? It’s probably only worth the land value now tho tbh so maybe not. Post your results!

It's in Mill Creek Park in Willingboro!

I love it, it looks like it was taken right out of a Fallout game.
zoicyte t1_iyd16ja wrote
Oh Willingboro. That explains a lot.
Yeah I’m gonna guess maybe $150k tops.

There was one in Buxton, NC that burnt down (there's no other way to describe it) recently. The owner has no clue how it happened or what caused it because of the fact that there was no electrical related stuff in there (which I don't believe is true), but man was it sad to see the thing go. Maybe if he didn't turn it into a rat's nest with all the junk he kept in it, it would have been fine.

I remember there was one in Toms River back in the 80s that was used as a bank near the ShopRite & Bradlees on 37.
Then there was one in Seaside in the free parking lot.

Shoprite and Bradlees is the most 80s NJ statement ever.

Literally my Grants in Clark was replaced by Bradlees, and is now a Target. My Two Guys in Union is what, a Home Depot I think

The Holy Trinity of ‘70s/‘80s discount shopping: Two Guys, Grants and Bradlees! And then Kmart started making inroads, Blue Light Specials and all . . .

I’d love to see this design revived with modern building materials. There’s something wonderfully cheesy about it’s retro-future aesthetic.

I hit em all! The dodgiest was Jamesway, tho; something about the poor lighting and the bad linoleum made it seem like it was always 2AM

I’ve been past the one in OBX many times. Sad to see it just recently burned down.

Dear God. I just had a 4th grade flashback where a friend of mine had WT Grant “all-stars” and some kids were hassling him over it.
I haven’t thought about Grants in decades.

linusgirl1011 t1_iydlyfh wrote
Honestly, I haven't a clue on that. It's definitely interesting to look at. Being the kind of person I am, I'm really curious what it looks like inside, but it's all boarded up on the entrance/doorway.

Don’t forget Rickles Home Improvement stores and Caldor.
Edit - forgot Steinback and when Macy's was Bambergers.
Man I’m aging myself.

TellMeYMrBlueSky t1_iydnci6 wrote
Oh man that Bradlees was always busy in Clark. And the Target is always crazy busy now! Even after they took over the other half of the building (which I think was Marshalls before they moved across the parking lot?) they're always busy when I am there (though these days since I moved I'm only there like once a year).

That one day in 8th grade we all had to wear a tie, Charles’ words cut like a knife that sticks in me to this day…
“Although your tie may be grand, we all know that it’s Caldor brand”
I’m 52 and remember that word for word. Fuck you Charles.

Hey...my hometown....Willingboro. SUch a shame the township let "the spaceship" go to shit. The PAL office used to be housed in there.

It's actually on the edge of the park but to answer your question, it used to house the PAL office back when we still had that.

zoicyte t1_iyeetfc wrote
The land is probably worth $80k by itself. The building may have some intrinsic value if it’s not so busted as to still be salvageable, but it’s so niche that most people might just want to tear it down, so it could work either way.
As far as I can tell the land isn’t even listed and hasn’t been in years. So it’s really anyone’s guess.

A trip as a 6 year old to Caldor/Bradlees/K-Mart meant a hot dog, soft pretzel, and a soda or icee for me on the way out of the store. I loved going to one of them.
Saturday was kids bowling league for me though later, they basically had the same lunch counter.
