Blockbuster, Toys R Us and classic arcades. Places that made our childhoods Awesome. Gone but never forgotten.
-
Circuit City, The Wiz, Sam Goody , Coconuts Woolworth, Modells, were the joints! At the music stores, they let you listen to tracks before you buy the album, celebrity meet & greets.... oh what joy!

A couple of the largest most popular stores that had been around for ages, you missed!! SEARS & KMART! Also for products does anyone remember Fruitopia!? It was made by coca cola.. We had a vending machine at my middle school, it was the best, also i miss the white chocolate crunch bar! Or what about SOBE??? My fave SOBE flavor {That was actually everybody else's fave first & took me a long time to warm up to, due to the resemblance of watermelon kool-aid poured into an unwashed cup w/ strawberry quik residue} it was the most popular flavor "Lizard fuel"! And for all my Westcoast homiez I'll never forget my favorite corner store must haves that are Gone but never forgotten: 9th grade wiil always taste like ♡ St. Ives Special Brews w/ piña cola & choclate flavored BeeDi's♡ back when the only thing we used to roll a fatty was a Garcia Vega! Miss the 90s😢

I’ll always have nostalgic memories of Blockbuster.
-
I didn’t go to Tower records that much but here in Detroit we had this local record shop that was black owned that everybody went to. I feel sorry for the people who never got to experience that feeling of going to a record shop and buying that new cd. It’s like a feeling I can’t really describe. You really just felt like a new person. It was also a very exclusive feel knowing you had that new album that people didn’t have yet. Everything wasn’t at the touch of your fingers like it is now.

I miss Woolworth’s so much. During the summer, my mom and I would take the city bus downtown and go shopping at Woolworth’s. We would eat lunch at their lunch counter. My husband a I bought our first washer and dryer at Fry’s. And before stores like Batteries Plus, you could find virtually any battery for anything at Radio Shack. If they didn’t have it in stock, they would order it for you.
-
Blockbuster's failure to buy Netflix and Kodak's failure to push digital cameras are easily two of the biggest corporate mistakes of all time.
-
Radio Shack was so cool. They had parts and supplies you couldn't find anywhere else and I don't remember them ever not having something that I needed.
-
Sam Goody was part of Musicland...and Musicland was bought out, or "merged" with Best Buy in 2001. That's what created my job with Musicland's advertising department...and ultimately eliminated my job, too.

I worked at the Tower Records store in the U District in Seattle all through college ('81-85_). LOVED that job...had a great manager, awesome co-workers, and basically got paid to talk about music with fellow audiophiles. That was an great time to be involved anywhere in the music scene, but especially in Seattle. Used to get a lot of comp'ed tickets. Saw pretty much every grunge and garage band on their way up..Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. Motley Crue and Queensryche even played in store....Man this brings back memories..

i miss payless... loved the shoes, and the prices...

As someone who’s worked for a company that no longer exists, buyers beware. When a company goes under (at least in this day and age) most of the time their intellectual property is also sold off. So these companies that are “only online” now are most likely just using a name, logo, customer contact info etc that they bought. They may look the same, but they’re often completely different owners with similar products.

RIP,K.B. Toys, Blockbusters,Tower Records. Gone But Never forgotten.
-
This was good to see. In ‘93 I had my first real job I was 15. I walked home from work and on my way home I stopped at blockbuster bought some movies and went home. That evening my dad drove me to circuit city so I could buy my own VCR (shintom brand). Never would’ve thought either would be closed in the future.
-
I never forget about Blockbuster, it was probably one of the big video rental stores, it never moved on to streaming services, that is how it lost out.

I miss Tower Records, Circuit City, and Radio Shack so much. I still remember going through racks of VHS cassettes at Blockbuster on Saturday nights with my then girlfriend and now wife. Streaming just doesn't have that same climate.

19:30 When I was in high school, (1963-1966) I was into Ham radio and there were two big companies that published huge catalogs of every possible component needed for the hobby. They were Radio Shack (the name says it all) and Allied Electronics. I can still remember the thrill of leafing through the catalogs looking at and lusting for the various components.

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! 1:04:26 Pagers, yup, I had it back in the early 90s. Mine was set to vibrate, because the beeping noise was way too loud. 🤣
