Two Guys Discount Department Stores trading stamp books from the 1960s and 70s with some stamps from the 1970s. Filled books were redeemable at Two Guys stores for $2.25 off the price of merchandise. Sometimes they would have "one book specials" where a book could be used to deduct a larger amount off a certain item. The covers give examples of the architectural styles used by Two Guys.
A mid-2000's Circuit City bag I found one day digging through some old stuff in my house. Apparently, someone wants to revive Circuit City, which you can read about in this article. The entire venture they describe in the article doesn't sound too promising or successful should this unlikely plan go through, but the article is still an interesting read as it explains the history and fall of Circuit City in it as well.
Anyway, that wraps up bag day. I have a new store tour laid out to begin this Saturday...
I love the decidedly "western" directions on this sign. I also find it interesting that they spec out the 5 sizes of coal for sale.

A November 2011 photo of College Town Shopping Center in Glassboro, NJ. The original portion, on the left of this scene, was built in 1965. The Kmart was Grant City until 1976 and became Kmart later that year. This section was built in the early 1970s. In the distance is Acme Market, since closed and now LA Fitness. This was originally Penn Fruit Supermarket with a neighboring co-owned Gaudio's Garden Center. It originally had the same facade as Grant City/Kmart, but was modified by Acme. At the very far end was a W.T. Grant variety store which was replaced by the Grant City. This was later Grossman's Lumber and now Pep Boys Auto.
I've just completed a commissioned build of some retail park units using the Kingsway Models RPU kit. Using two kits has produced two half relief units and one full depth unit.
Each unit has two store fronts.
The two kits provide two car park areas which are joined together here.
A Borders bag from near the end of their existence in the early 2010's. I saved this bag after one of my last visits to a Borders, which was during one of their store closing waves before the comapny's final liquidation in 2011.
The Builder's Square section of Marlton Crossing Sopping Center in October 1986, about the time it was completed.

The mall was built in 1981 though a partnership between St. Louis-based May Centers, Inc., and Cape Girardeau-based Drury Development Corp., developer of the Drury Hotel Chain. It featured Famous-Barr and JCPenney as its anchor stores, with original tenants including Hallmark Cards, Foot Locker, Kay-Bee Toys, Claire's, Zales Jewelers, GNC, Waldenbooks, and Lerner New York. An 80,000-square-foot Venture was added as a third anchor in 1984. May Center later became CenterMark, who divested all of their retail properties in the early 90s. Westfield Group aquired the mall from CenterMark in 1993, and renamed it Westfield Shoppingtown West Park in 1998.
The Venture store closed in 1998, the same year the mall announced that they would be building a s126,000 ft2 anchor store at the malls north entrance. The anchor was likely Sears, who later built a Sears Grand store across from the mall. The West Park Mall Venture, along with two stores in Wichita, KS, Northpark Mall in Joplin, MO and one at Kentucky Oaks Mall in nearby Paducah, Kentucky both became Shopko in 1999. Shopko entering the mall brought West Park to 100 percent occupancy for the first time in its history. Shopko closed in 2001 and would sit vacant until Steven & Barry's assumed the space in 2006. The store has been occupied by an Ashley Furniture Homestore since 2018.
Old Navy opened in the mall in 2004 and in 2006, Westfield sold the mall to Centro Watt Barnes & Noble would later open a store at the mall assuming several vacant spaces.

WEEK 44 – Wolfchase Sears Closing, Set X (UL)
Happy College GameDay, Memphis! I say this not as a sports fan (since I’m not one) but rather as a proud area citizen, who is happy Memphis got to enjoy the privilege of having College GameDay hosted on Beale Street today. Of course, the show’s probably already over by the time I’m even posting these pictures, but I’m writing the description you’re reading on Wednesday night (i.e. three days ago), so all in all it’s probably a wash :P And speaking of washes – whaddya know, here’s a shot of what was left of the bath department at the now-closed Wolfchase Sears as of my December 10th, 2018, visit! Terrible segue, I know XD But don’t worry, I can make it even worse: looks like all the merchandise had *washed away* when I took this pic! (Sorry not sorry…)

This has sold Texaco, BP, Harvest Energy and Jet, it's one of the station purchased by Certas Energy from Bishop Retail.
A photo from August 16th, 2017, shows the Oxford Penney's post-closure, with all the exterior signage removed and a very visible labelscar on the front façade here. Given that the Oxford Mall is owned by the University of Mississippi, it is highly unlikely that another retail store will ever operate in this space... and for that matter, it's looking just as unlikely that the labelscar will even be painted over, lol!
Around this same time, some new apartments were being built behind the Penney's building, on separate property; now, the bus route that serves the mall (officially known as the university's Jackson Avenue Center, these days) has added an extra stop at those apartments, which means the bus passes right by the former JCPenney package pick-up window every single day, multiple times an hour. It's pretty strange going past that and seeing the lights still on inside, but no one home. See also this video.

Gaudio's Garden and Craft Center in Marlton NJ, taken shortly after it opened in June 1987. It was built over the former Marlton Acme Market site. Later it was Frank's Nursery and Crafts.
