What B&M store would you really miss if it disappeared?

[dasherHampton]

I would really miss Bed Bath and Beyond.

I go there for basically all of my household stuff. It's my first stop for everything from coffee capsules to pots & pans to sheets and pillows.
I've bought many big ticket items there, like a Roomba, Dyson vacs, and a foot/calf massager (awesome, btw).

It would suck to see it go.

 

[PJFrylar]

A local Thai carry out restaurant.

 

[highland145]

Hooters

 

[lxskllr]

Wegmans for groceries/food.
The thrift shop for the other stuff :^D

I'm drawing a blank on new item stores that I couldn't live without. Maybe the Stihl dealer since they don't sell online, but I'm pretty good on saws for... ever maybe.

Ehh, my local Ace Hardware probably, it's like 1 mile away, 1 stop sign, no traffic lights short quick easy drive.
If they closed up, then I have to drive like ... 6 or 7 miles to get to a hardware store.

Yes, I would certainly miss the Ace that's like 10 blocks from my house. I'm in there all the time.

Ewwww

You eat those grapes on top? You know how many pee and semen covered hands feel those?

 

[ondma]

Microcenter

 

[ImpulsE69]

Honestly nothing but Walmart sadly lol. I go to WM for the daily essentials...that's about it. Everything else I buy online. I could probably even do that for what I buy at WM if it came down to it.

Keeps your immune system in top working order...

 

[snoopy7548]

Hannaford because that's where I do my grocery shopping.

I don't really go anywhere else, since I do all of my other shopping online. Maybe the big farm market/store near work. They have awesome sandwiches, tons of different cheeses, and a good variety of wine. It's like the Wal-Mart of high-quality locally-sourced stuff.

I would have said Best Buy a year ago but their removal of Gamers Club Unlocked has done much to diminish my visits.

I guess I'd say Gamestop. People rage on them a lot, but the grim reality is it's the only store I can walk into and converse about my hobby to store employees.

all of them?

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Total Wine - best liquor store ever

 

[BoomerD]

all of them?

As many as he can reach at one time....

A local Thai carry out restaurant.

No way that stuff is still as good by the time you get it home. Unless it's just curry and rice you mix yourself. We've tried.

BTW, I learned to make the Thai Iced Tea at home. Tea leaves from Amazon. Score.

Supermarket

 

[olds]

Sears....

 

[Fritzo]

Unpopular- but Best Buy. It's the only major electronics store left. There's something about being able to actually see new products that's appealing. Sometimes they have great deals too.

 

[dabuddha]

Circuit City :/

 

[Luna1968]

I still miss Circuit City.

 

[olds]

I still miss Circuit City.

And The Good Guys.

Just 2 off the top of my head:

The Berkeley Bowl (My local supermarket/produce indy store)

Costco

Been in there a few times, don't remember buying anything.

I should check them out more often. I think you can get good open box deals there, but don't remember doing it. I did check out a printer there and then bought online.
