Ponderosa (closed 2007) (SE)

Jamesway (closed early 1990's) (FBAS)

*** The chain of stores was doing poorly and they closed a lot of these stores.

Osco Drug Stores. Walgreens ran them all out of town.

Albertson's grocery store. I never did get into one of them, but I heard they were expensive. The one closest to me has to have closed a good 10 or more years ago and the building is still empty.

Little Caesars. I miss it too. I want some crazy bread!!

We lost Fuddrucker's a long time ago, but we recently got it back. Yay!
