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.

Banbury, UK. Deep into lockdown by this time - c. April 2020.

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.
WEEK 51.1 – Flashback 2016: Hernando Kroger (II)
As noted earlier – and in the past, of course! – just beyond the deli is the small café seating area, home to no more than three little tables for in-store dining. The new store goes above and beyond in that department, but to be fair, it also has a much more generous amount of fresh and prepared foods offerings to compensate!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
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.

T3 have 20000sqm of floor space of retail. You can basically call T3 an Airport-cum-shopping centre.
These lifts were seen back on the May 12, 2016 visit, back when they were still working on the paint job on the new wall. I'm guessing the big box of coupon printed receipt tape came out of the area they were converting into ClickList space.

WEEK 47 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: Old Store Closing
Back indoors now, for more views of empty salesfloor (yay! XD ). Here we’re looking across what once was the young men's department. This vantage point is only a few yards to the left of where I stood for our penultimate shot yesterday, so it’s no surprise that the same caution tape continues onward in this view, blocking off this side of the store.
I can’t really remember if that fan was on or not, but if it wasn’t on, I can’t explain why it would’ve been there, haha! Still, however, I don’t remember the air conditioning being out on this visit or anything…

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.

WEEK 42 – Lexington Lowes Foods, Set III
Quickly heading down one of those frozen foods aisles, we find ourselves up at the front end once more, this time taking a peek at the guest services counter. Instead of being built into a front end wall a la Walmart, Kroger, or Target, Lowes Foods has their guest services department placed out in the middle of the front end, right alongside the checkouts. But in order to differentiate it from said checkouts, in true Lowes Foods fashion, the department features an amazingly eye-grabbing pergola, topped with a weathervane, for goodness’ sake! Not only that, but if you look in front of the counter, you’ll see the hodgepodge of merchandise placed here has a fun theme of its own, a “carnival” that plays off of said hodgepodge nature of the selection. How awesome!

Next, a shot of a backroom cart while it was sitting out on the salesfloor, on the cleaning supplies aisle it looks like. As a customer I don’t get to see one of these very often, so I wanted to take the opportunity to capture it while I could. Of note here is the logo used for “Key Retailing,” and how the K and Y match what the K and G do in the Kroger logo proper. We saw the same logo on a similar cart back at the S Perkins Kroger FFE auction.

Taking a break between store tours for a quick feature of more bags from my semi-large retail bag collection. It's been a while since I've featured anything from my collection, so I picked five bags to feature today of various vintages.
First up is this special edition Boscov's Department Store bag to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary in 2014. This bag came from a flea market (it's probably been about 15 years since I was last in a Boscov's myself).
An MSI Source 2100 ordering handheld and base unit from the 1970s. One of the first devises used by retail stores to place store orders electronicaly.
The equivalent of this today is the size of a smartphone.

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 - this is the completed full depth unit.

Not that I planned it this way, lol, but if my timing of posting S Perkins Kroger photos means the same as it did last year, then it's time for summer uploads to officially begin on my photostream! This year I'm kicking the season off with a special extended two-week photoset I've dubbed Retail Road Trip (hence the interstate off-ramp food sign in Hernando I'm using as the photo background here). Beginning tomorrow, we're taking a return visit to the script décor Kroger in Cleveland, MS, followed later in the week by the Kroger in Greenville, MS, as well as the Kmart in Greenville next week. I also have some blog posts planned to supplement this series, with one already up and another in the works for next week. Stick around!

Handbills produced by our Focus Group in 2000 during the closing of the Marlton Crossing Super Fresh across town. The one on the right was handed out at the Marlton Crossing store during their closing by members of the SF 463 Focus Group. Super Fresh 463 did survive 12 more years after this, after nearly 30 years in operation.
