Since I’ve already begun my Mansfield Target photoset, I can’t exactly tease it each week now that you know what it is! So in lieu of more teaser pics, for the remaining four weeks of that photoset I’ll instead be concurrently uploading a quick series of photos from another store I visited while up in the area. Specifically, we’re taking a peek at the Mansfield Old Navy! It’s in a fairly tired old shopping center alongside a Toys R Us and a former Circuit City. But my photo here also doesn’t do it justice; it looks pretty nice in the sunshine, as the photo at this link shows! (Also there is an aerial view of the shopping center, with an amusing decoration at the former Circuit City.) Mainly, I decided to snap a few pics because it reminded me a lot of my local Southaven Old Navy store before it went through a major remodel many years ago (shown in the inset photo).

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 :)

Took this picture since it has potential for being a nice store that reminds me of a real Supercenter.
1290 N Monroe St, Monroe, MI. This store opened on March 24, 1966. Its closing was announced on July 7, 2017, and the store closed for the last time in early October.

(but I don't think it's as overused as the layaway one is)
Behind the gate, a view of the unearthed former DEB store along the new corridor. I'm not sure when exactly this store closed, but it's strange to see that this store is still exposed. Looking towards the center and the fitting rooms.

Opened on March 5, 2008 as a regular modern SuperTarget. Has recieved a minor interior update and a clinic since opening.
Fashion Square Shopping Center in Cherry Hill, NJ. This was built in the early 1980s over the site of an entertainment venue that was known at different times as The Ice House, Cherry Hill Arena and The Centrum. It was originally anchored by a smaller size Kmart, which later became a Super G Supermarket and then Shop Rite - which has since closed. That section still has the Super G facade.
5101 E Thompson Rd, Indianapolis, IN. This store opened on June 18, 1981. On January 4, 2018, it was announced that this store would close in April.

Three photos combined to form a panoramic view of former Nichols Shopping Center in Maple Shade, N.J. in 1985.
Sissy me posing for photos at the retail carpark, just along from the hardware store and the food stall.
I had several small groups/couples looking on, some of which were smirking and laughing out loud - it would have made a good video!
A little modern day retail therapy.
Off to IKEA we went. Having decided on the bathroom sink and furniture, purchasing it required touch screen computer, scanning a QR code, loading order onto phone, production of bar code, payment by barcode and credit card, and then finally a member of staff wheeled out a loaded trolley. This really is stretching my IT skills. Marion only loaded a QR reader App yesterday for the first time. We are rapidly becoming a Fred and Wilma couple!

Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation first proposed Gulf View Square in 1974. At the time, its anchor stores were slated to be Sears, Maas Brothers, Belk-Lindsey, and Robinson's of Florida. The mall opened in March 1980 with Belk-Lindsey and Montgomery Ward as its anchor stores. Maas Brothers opened in August 1981, with Sears following in July 1982.
J. C. Penney opened on the fifth anchor slot, which was originally planned for Burdines, in 1990. Burdines ultimately entered the mall by taking the Maas Brothers store a year later.
Dillard's bought the Belk-Lindsey store in 1992. A food court was added in 1998. In 2001, Dillard's relocated from the former Belk to the former Montgomery Ward. As a result, the former Dillard's store was demolished in 2002 for Linens 'n Things and Best Buy. Linens 'n Things closed in 2008 and TJ Maxx opened in 2010 Burdines became Burdines-Macy's in 2003 and Macy's in 2005. Old Navy, which opened in 2000, closed in 2009.
A new management team began managing the mall in 2011, and announced plans to bring new stores. On January 15, 2014, JCPenney announced that they would be closing as part of a plan to close 33 stores nationwide. JCPenney ended its 24-year run as anchor on August 2, 2014. On January 8, 2015, Macy's announced that its store would be closing as part of a plan to close 14 stores nationwide. The store closed in May 2015.
Washington Prime Group sold Gulf View Square Mall to Namdar Realty Group in February 2017 for $15 million.
On December 28, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 80 stores nationwide. The store closed March 2019.
This was never going to be a great photograph, but I've done what I can to get rid of the "flare" that partially blotted out the front of the bus. In any case the picture is of interest as much for its background as for its subject, in that it shows the variety of useful small shops clustered around a junction on a busy road in a middle-ranking provincial town, Crewe, as recently as Monday 16th February 1976. On the right-hand corner, with the pram and bicycle left outside, there appears to be a post office, while further down we see the signs of a chemist and an antique shop. Oddly, the Sandeman port sign appears to belong to the chemist. On the evidence of the newspaper bill propped against the lamp-post, I'd say there was a newsagent, tobacconist and confectioner a little further along the flagstoned pavement.
But just look, on the opposite side, at that splendid example of a lost British institution, the corner shop. Holland's, the greengrocer, has prospered to the extent of expanding into the property next door. The photograph may be of some interest to connoisseurs of greengrocer's apostrophe, in that the signwriter has created a space by casting adrift the S from the rest of the name but has not inserted the apostrophe. Perhaps he didn't know quite what he should do and was hedging his bets. And why the inverted commas? The next business along is called Burley, but I can't quite make out the nature of its trade. The window display looks like rolls of fabric or, possibly, linoleum.
The name plaque, South Street, visible at the extreme left, enabled me to get a fix on Google Street View. Burley's and Holland's have both gone, apparently to ease the flow of traffic at the junction. The next property, behind the bus, is occupied by a provider of financial services. Apart from a chip shop of the genteel kind, with restaurant attached, the only businesses in the vicinity seem to be estate agents and building societies. You can see the width of South Street from the camera position, on one side, to the opposite kerb. Now you must use one of those time-wasting, two-stage, light-controlled pedestrian crossings, with a dog-leg central refuge, fenced off with railings.
I was on my way from the station to the bus station. The bus, a dual-door Bristol RE belonging to Crosville Motor Services, appears to be operating a flat-fare local service, with "Farebox". I think I caught such a vehicle later on to get back to the station. I must have legged it pretty smartish across to the opposite side of the main road to get a pic of that approaching Lodekka. See next photo...

First time I've ever been to this Kmart. I figured it was now or never since so many are closing. I think we only have three left in Miami Dade County and I visited two in the last week. The store was dead. Two registers open and about 5 people in line waiting to pay. They are building an Aldi in the parking lot.
Still in full operation, this Zellers seems to be going at speed in the West End Mall, Pembroke ON. No word if it's a conversion or a closure.
I don't know what it is, but the Kmart bags down here seem to be less durable then what I'm used to back up north. The one handle pretty much fell off after hauling it inside and a hole started in the bottom of the bag.
I know I said wouldn't be uploading, but I thought I'd take this moment to say I've gotten lots of pictures and I still have more to take. I currently have over 1,000 pics that have yet to be uploaded, some of which are still from up north.

Dick's Sporting Goods (8009 Stonewall Shops Square, Gainesville, VA 20155): Opened on October 26, 2011 as a newbuild to an empty parcel in the center. Typical modern Dick's store.
Staples (7973 Stonewall Shops Square, Gainesville, VA 20155): Opened on August 2, 2008 as another store in the center. Haven't been inside to really know this store, but I'm assuming it's just your average Staples store from that time period.
