The best days

Wow i remember that store my mom used to go there when i was 5 years old or less ir was 1986

After he took over Federated, Robert Campeau merged Foley’s with Dallas-based Sanger Harris (which the people of neither company wanted). He did this so that he could sell the combined unit and Filene’s to purchase Allied Stores Corporation, a transaction that should have never been approved. Campeau’s actions are still known today as the beginning of The Great Retail Bloodbath.

I remember those advertisements and his voice .

I got my Sega Genesis from Venture along with Mortal Kombat 2 in 1994. How time flies!

Broccoli bites were a great appetizer.

I say Pepsi always.

Fuck you and everyone who is lazy enough to use false narration.

In the US based Text to Speech system you’re using I think a comma or a dot is interpreted as a slight pause. So whenever it’s suppose 3.7million the bot says: “3 [ pause] 7 million” Good video with some things I had heard before mixed with some new details. Thanks!

I grew up in inner city Philadelphia i remember going to the Langhorne Genuardis when we'd visit family friends out there. I remember thinking it felt like a fancy place as a kid. Good summer memories going there to get bbq supplies and hanging by the pool.

i love your video

I waited tables at Bennigan's Tavern in N. Richland Hills, TX from 1979 - 1982. It was a great job!

I remember venture.i grew up in ft.smith,AR my parents would shop venture for stuff for the house and we'd all get big chocolate bunnies this was around Easter

In 1970- mom had her 68’ Chevy Corvair repainted in canary yellow at the Oakland Ca. Shop… They painted the hubcaps, antenna and body script all matching paint😂 Dad was able to have them rectify it but geez dudes-😖😖

Our TG&Y was in Park City, Kansas, just outside of my hometown of Valley Center. We used to go here almost every weekend.

very nice video

When I was born they had probably just broken ground on what would become South County Shopping Center, at Lemay Ferry and Lindbergh. Some of my earliest childhood memories were of that mall, and the mid-century majesty of the Famous-Barr rotunda! It was a wonderful department store, and I literally grew up going there frequently with my mom and 3 sibs for school clothes, holiday clothes and shoes, home furnishings and more. St. Louisans were proud of the May Company being based downtown. I had moved away in the very early 90's, but always stopped by Famous when in town, maybe to do some last-minute Christmas shopping, or a wedding gift, etc. It saddened me when the company sold, and the slow turnover of all the stores to Macy's and other chains. What a grand company May's once was, with their family camp on the Meramec and multiple retail chains and properties. In retrospect, and looking at the state of malls today, selling to Federated was a wise move, as trends were already beginning to shift for many shoppers. I'm old now, and long for those days, missing many things and people who are no longer. Thank you for keeping the memories alive.

How can you forget to mention Mary Richards tossing her hat in the air at their corner?

What would Wong Foo think?

"Please, Rose...the Three Wise Men in the window at Burdine's were wearing Ralph Lauren ski parkas"

"Vivian, aren't they expecting you at the bacon counter at Bohack?"

Now we realize Mrs. B. is Kelly Bishop, of GILMORE GIRLS and BUNHEADS fame (as well as being part of the original cast of A CHORUS LINE, calling herself Carole Bishop)

Of course Trump was involved in a failing business. LMAO. EVERYTHING he touches he destroys. 🤡🤡🤡

i would like best products to come back

It only shows you that those millionaires ceos know nothing 😃 Making millions and only put kmart out of business That’s capitalism for you!!!😃😜

A&P Canada alum here 95-05. The 1990 & 1991 ads were the Canadian version of those and glad you got in one of the Canadian "We're Fresh Obsessed" ads in at the end. The slogan started in 1998 and stayed almost until the end of A&P/Dominion in Canada.

A magnificent store, Piano playing from the top, Attentive staff.

Lazarus wasn't just a Store, it was the rest of the Universe when the Universe wasn't as cool as it could be when Lazarus was around.

My Dad would take us to shop Xmas 🎁 at Bruckner Blvd, I remember HS I thought it was Jane Adams (which was an all girls school), my eldest sister friend went to, turns out it was Samuel Gompers, HS. Dad would pick her up with Mom and sis, and shop at "Korvettes,"Xmas 🎄. My mom favorite shop was "Alexanders" at 149th st and 3rd Ave. In the Bronx, NY. Wow this is great recall. That's how it was then, my dad's boss was Sam (Jewish merchant business man), my dad managed his linoleum store by Southern Blvd. We loved and appreciated Sam. On New Year's Eve,my dad would have manischewis 🍷 wine, and bring on lot's of dates, as Sam advised, significant in the Jewish traditions blessings for the New Year, in PR my grandfather would tell stories of 🍇 grapes on New Year's Eve was traditional in his father's home in Spain (Oliveras). Dad also would buy walnuts and white chocolate delicates 🍬 candy from Korvettes. ❤

Yooo my favourite youtuber posted!

I always bought my gentlemen's silk dress ties from Robinson's.

The only reason I even know about Egghead is due to the ad, which is shown at 17:07 in this video. Looks like even that ad didn't save the business.

I loved to go to phar mor and rent videos. They always had a great selection

Stop using AI voices

This guy was a crook way back then

Good old mammy made chicken 🐔, God bless Coons Chicken 🐔🙊🍺💩🦍

we still have Earl Scheib in Cleveland OH

I'm from North Carolina. Back in the 1970s, we went to visit my aunt in Washington, DC. She lived near a Gino's, so we ate there one day. I was like, _"Hmm, this chicken tastes just like Kentucky Fried Chicken!"_

Worked briefly for this company after being an avid Soft Warehouse customer while attending college. When I interviewed they gave me an aptitude test which was nothing more than a stack management task thinly disguised as a multi-drawer filing cabinet problem. Easily aced the lame test and went to work as a software engineer a couple of weeks later. But when I reported for work they handed me a beeper and told me I would be on 24-hr call. The commute to and from corporate headquarters sucked too, so I immediately began another job search, leaving a few months later to start at a much better job paying a much higher salary for which I could live within a few blocks of the office. I walked to and from work there every day for five years, happily putting in lots of overtime without being chained to a damned beeper.

Please loose the music. It's very distracting.

Can't stand that AI voice please use a human voice

I remember those commercials as a kid and growing up I started to do bodywork and paint and got a job working for Earl scheib I work 2 days the way they fill things with Bondo nope not for me I quit

Can you do Econofoods the complete story pls?

Thanks for using one of my commercials 😉 #13, to be specific. Was aired on WGRZ TV in Buffalo. Although I’m from across the river in St Catharines, Ont., we get most of our television and radio from Buffalo. Hills was in Williamsville on Main @ Transit Rd, Blasdell off the Thruway, Niagara Falls, Cheektowaga. All converted to Ames after the horrible takeover… Hills was awesome - Ames sucked.

LOL, Earl Scheister.

We still have one in Chambersburg Pennsylvania.
