What store franchise would you like to see in your area? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MrCleveland · 10-22-2014, 01:28 PM

This is the sequel to the restaurant franchise, but rather than just department stores...this includes electronic stores, hardware stores, auto stores, and grocery stores to name a few.

I hear about Pep Boys a lot in my area, but there's none in Cleveland! Luxury Department Stores like Nieman Marcus aren't even in Ohio! Meijer hasn't reached Cleveland yet.

This can also include stores that were once in your area, I knew that Cleveland once had Kroger and Tops.

And defunct stores like Woolworths and Just Closeouts...I miss those places!

In 1993 Meijer was planning to build a store in Broadview Heights.

Kroger's had a store in Eastlake, and there was a Topps store at the corner of Mayfield and SOM Center roads in Mayfield Heights.

I know Tops was around Cleveland until 2006 when the economy was about to collapse...Tops focused more on their other stores in Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont.

I wish Finast would return!

I really miss Woolworths too! Plus Newbery's ( not sure of the spelling ). Also S & H green stamps store, those were great!

Dude111 · 10-23-2014, 06:13 AM

There is a record store about 20 miles from here..... I would love it if one opened in my town!!!!!!

Ryan Chamberlain · 10-23-2014, 07:44 AM

A 7-Eleven! We don't have them in my area at all! I wanna try a slurpee.

Oh I know I LOVED Woolworth's lunch counter!!!

And the pet shop department. I loved seeing the birds, little turtles and fish!!!!

I remember Finast when I was living in mentor, and there was one on E. 185th St. in Cleveland near where my cousins live.

mets82 · 10-24-2014, 05:02 PM

I'd actually wish Circuit City would come back. They always seemed to have electronics at reasonable prices.

Also, probably, in my area, I'd like to see Caldor's and Bradlees back.

MrCleveland · 10-24-2014, 05:13 PM

I also miss Silverman's Department Store, there's only two locations now in Cleveland but there was more than that when I was growing up.

Ohio8 · 10-24-2014, 11:39 PM

Staples.

Ryan, if you ever visit Vancouver, I will treat you to a Slurpee!

Canadian Slurpees are much better than the ones I tried in the States. Mind you the only Slurpees I have had in the States were from Las Vegas, and that was 10 years ago. I don't know what you do in the States, but the Slurpees were all foam, and I gagged on them.

You're bringing back lots of memories!

My Mom was big into collecting Blue Chip Stamps, Newberry's was another great store with a coffee shop inside.
