A Rickel Home Center location in Menlo Park, NJ sometime in the 1990s. Rickel was an early forerunner to Home Depot based in South Plainfield. Bulldozed for a Target. Photo from Flickr user Jeffrey Johnson featured on Facebook page Remembering Retail.Submitted by 7nationarmy t3_121lxyb in newjersey

LOL, Rickels brings back memories. I was shopping in Jersey City store with my stepfather (I was ~8 years old ) getting stuff to repair a fence. Our hands were full so my stepdad, place 5 nuts and bolts in his pocket. We paid for everything except he forgot the bolts in his pocket - we exited the store and they detained him for shoplifting - when the cops came - the cops made fun of the store manager essential calling him a f-ing idiot.

It was on 440, right?

Yes, right near Danforth Ave and Society Hill development. The building still exists but I do not know what it was called.

It was a Big Lots-style store a few years ago (American something, I think) but I’m not sure it’s anything nowadays.
