Literally my Grants in Clark was replaced by Bradlees, and is now a Target. My Two Guys in Union is what, a Home Depot I think

The Holy Trinity of ‘70s/‘80s discount shopping: Two Guys, Grants and Bradlees! And then Kmart started making inroads, Blue Light Specials and all . . .

I hit em all! The dodgiest was Jamesway, tho; something about the poor lighting and the bad linoleum made it seem like it was always 2AM

Dear God. I just had a 4th grade flashback where a friend of mine had WT Grant “all-stars” and some kids were hassling him over it.
I haven’t thought about Grants in decades.

Oh man that Bradlees was always busy in Clark. And the Target is always crazy busy now! Even after they took over the other half of the building (which I think was Marshalls before they moved across the parking lot?) they're always busy when I am there (though these days since I moved I'm only there like once a year).

Don’t forget about the Jamesway!
Anyone remember that General Store on Brick Blvd?

I also miss Child World, Service Merchandise and Jamesway!

Oh man Service Merchandise! Always wanted to see the lower level, where the microwaves and TV's arose from on that funky belt!
