Toward the end, yes. As much as I'm convinced this is all a hoax that is even fooling some local news outlets, I find retail nostalgia to be a bit weird. I like the history of these places and learning what lead to their rise and fall, but people have a weird way of remembering things.

I see it a lot right now with the nerd crowd and their love of Blockbuster even though I remember when Blockbuster was mocked and made fun of the last decade of its existence and actual film nerds in the 90s usually went to smaller shops to get their videos and then bemoaned the fact when Blockbuster moved into town and ran them out of business.

Not saying you’re wrong. However, I worked there and to say it was not as good as some Ocean State Job Lots, is a hill I will die on. If they come back and are reasonable for staples Rhode Islanders need, fine. Otherwise I see no point in it and once the novelty wears off, they’ll be history again. 🤷‍♂️
