The Yellowstone General Store is located at the community of Mammoth a few miles south of the North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana. This is the only store in the park opened year round. The original residence and store was completed in 1896 and the flat roof portion of the store was added in 1914. The residence portion of the structure is now home to one of the park rangers.

The store is in pretty good shape, but little was done to it when Acme took over. At first, the store was crowded (as Pathmark always was)...but as Albertsons has raised prices and cut products left and right, "sales have fallen off a cliff", as one employee told me.
------------------------
The Acme (former Pathmark) of Ferry Street in Newark, NJ is having a going-out-of-business sale. The closing was announced by the UFCW local 1262 a few weeks back. Unfortunately, the closing is not surprising. In a gentrifying neighborhood full of immigrants from Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Ecuador and lots of other places--Pathmark, with its deep expertise in ethnic merchandising--was a perfect fit; by contrast, Acme makes little effort to carry the products that the people of the neighborhood want to buy. It’s like the company has one model for supermarkets, and they plop them down no matter what neighborhood they operate in.
The sad part is that Pathmark was so successful and high-volume in this neighborhood that, in 1995, they replaced an older store next door with this 65,000 sq. ft. super center. Once A&P took over, prices went up, but at least the store still carried the wide selection of fresh and dry goods that the neighborhood wanted. Acme cut tons of these products and greatly reduced the selection. They replaced the once vibrant international flavor of Pathmark with a WASPy supermarket that your grandmother might have shopped at.
I am sure this is only the first of many former A&P/Pathmark stores that will close under Acme's leadership. The stores are mostly devoid of customers. The owners of New Albertson’s never had a long-term strategy to be in the grocery business. This is a company run by Wall-Street money men who buy up companies, leech money out of them to make themselves rich, saddle the companies with debt, and then try to sell them quickly. And believe me, they are saddling New Albertsons with billions of dollars of debt, financing all these acquisitions and store renovations. Unfortunately for them, there has been low interest in an Albertsons IPO the two times they have tried to offer the company up for sale, and now that same-store sales are tanking, it seems even more unlikely. To top it off, the company still hasn’t had a single profitable quarter since it was formed and is losing tens of millions every quarter.
Employees are being offered opportunities to relocate to other stores, but the ones I spoke to said many of the stores are too far away, and after being put through the wringer over the years, I think they are ready to move on. No one has yet signed on to takeover the supermarket, but the buzz was that ShopRite was interested in the store. The Kearny ShopRite operates 3 miles away.
Marketplace Shopping Center opened in 1975 and was originally anchored by Sears, JCPenney, and Peoria-based Bergner's.
The mall was renovated to resemble a Tuscany-inspired setting in August 1999 alongside a major mall expansion that added a St. Louis-based Famous- Barr department store. JCPenney would close their store at the mall the same year citing low sales, but would return to the mall in May 2004. In 2006, Famous-Barr rebranded as Macy's following the merger between Cincinnati-based Federated Department Stores, and St. Louis-based May Department Stores.

nrhp # 01001395- Ford's Store is a historic general store located in the hamlet of Oak Hill in the town of Durham in Greene County, New York. It was built in 1870 as a two-story commercial building in the Italianate style, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The restored storefront is composed of a recessed entry flanked by display windows. John Bonafide, preservation analyst from the New York State Parks Commission, said of the building, “As constructed, Ford’s Store is a representative example of Italianate style commercial architecture, popular in America during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Built on the site of an earlier store and harness shop, the building is architecturally significant as an intact example of simple, mid-nineteenth century commercial architecture in the hamlet of Oak Hill. Today, the Ford’s Store building is one of two intact commercial storefronts to survive in the community. Despite years of neglect and damage, Ford’s store, as restored, survives with a high degree of its architectural integrity.” [2]
Emerson Ford was the first of the Ford family to handle general merchandise there in partnership with G. M. Hallenbeck in 1875 as Ford and Hallenbeck. Emerson Ford had two sons, Ernest E. and N. Dwight. Ernest E. came into the business in 1898 with the help of his wife, Bertie Conran. Emerson’s other son, N. Dwight, married Millie B. Mackey and moved to Nebraska, where they had a son named Theodore Leo. Leo helped at the store during the summers of 1925 to 1926 before coming to work there full time in 1928. He became a partner of Ernest in 1931, and the store was then known as Ford and Ford. The last of the Fords to enter the business were George and Lionel, sons of Leo, and together with their father and great uncle they worked in the store until illness forced Ernest into retirement in the late 1950s.
At that time Ralph Brand took over the store. A newspaper article recounts: “Ralph Brand has purchased stock, fixtures and merchandise of Fords’ store and will rent the building. Oak Hill post office will continue to occupy a portion of the store and will be operated by Leo and George Ford and Gledon Hulbert. Ralph will operate the store with Mrs. George Ford as his assistant.” Kenneth Brand, Ralph’s son, remembers: “My father ran the Ford store in the late 1950’s. I used to play around the store when I was a kid. Behind the store there used to be a shed. The shed had an outhouse in it, and the outhouse extended out over the Catskill creek. No flushing was required. Not very environmentally friendly, but that’s the way things were done back then. John Cords ran it for a few years after my father gave it up. I would guess that it closed around 1966 or 1967.” Sometime after that, the front windows were removed to install garage doors to allow the space to be used for auto repairs and storage.
The building was restored in the 1990s, when the original components of the façade were found intact in the basement of the building and reinstalled. For a time, George Stevens ran a business called The Electric Farm out of the building, selling plants, especially African violets, that were grown under lights. Later the building was used as an annex of DeWitt Hotel Antiques, and then as a bookstore run by Fari Raad of Cornwallville. A record store, Dope Jams, which operated in Brooklyn from 2006 to 2012, was next to occupy the space. Dope Jams had been called “one of the best record stores on the East Coast.” The store, owned by Paul Nickerson, was decorated “like Aleister Crowley’s library” and carried house, dance, disco music, classic hip-hop, and techno. In 2020 the building was painted a solid charcoal gray when poet Kostas Anagnopoulos took over the space as Pidgin, selling antique furniture and objects with select contemporary items. Kostas said of the store, "A pidgin is a simplified form of communication; an informal language, often developed in trade, allowing those from different backgrounds to convey thoughts to one another. I like to think of the objects in my store, with their quiet presence and shared appeal, as both the medium and the message."

Penn,s Store is located in the Forkland area of Marion, Boyle and Casey County, Kentucky. The property is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places
and is a designated Kentucky Historical Landmark, also is listed as a Kentucky Centennial Business.
.........................Penn's Store is the oldest country store in America run by the same family since 1850. The age of the store is not actually known. It can be traced back to 1845 when William Spragens at age 21 ran the store; however, others are known to have run it before Spragens.
Gabriel Jackson "Jack" Penn was the first Penn to own the store. In c.1870 ownership and operation of the store was transferred from Jack Penn to his oldest son, Martin Wilson "Dick" Penn. Dick Penn was born the second child of nine children on February 19, 1852. He married Isabelle May and they had one son, David Martin Penn. Dick and Isabelle lived in a little house next to the store.
Dick Penn was truly a man of many talents. Among his professions were being a surveyor, dentist, druggist, and postmaster. He was the community's first postmaster and Penn's Store was site of the first post office in the area known as Rollings, Kentucky. In c.1910 the post office moved to Gravel Switch to be close to the train, which would stop in the town to get gravel from the creek.
Dick Penn was given a grant by the governor of Kentucky to administer drugs. Penn's Store carried a wide assortment of drugs which Penn sold to the local people. Penn was also known to have a cure for skin cancer and treated many people with such afflictions. He was given the cure by a foreign doctor. It is believed that he came to the area to meet with Dr. Cleaver who had an office near the store. Dick Penn swore to secrecy the formula and never divulged its ingredients. Since no one in the family held Penn's love for medicine, on July 4, 1913, after a hot day of surveying, Martin Wilson Penn died from a heat stroke on the store porch. Thus, the cancer secret went with him.
Dick's son, Martin Penn, at age 36 became the new store keeper. Born March 24, 1877, Martin married Nina Sue Kirkland and they had 10 children. Five boys and five girls: Daisy (b.1899), Evelyn (b.1901), Theol (b.1904), Paulette (b. 1906), Haskell (b.1908), Gerald (b.1911), Jeane (b. 1913), Alma (b.1915), Hunter (b.1919), Miles (b.1922).
Penn's Store looked quite different in its younger years than it does today. There were many buildings that surrounded the store. There was a spirits shop to the right of the store, a poultry coop used to house chickens and assorted fowl that people brought to the store to trade for goods, and a storage building that Dick Penn used to keep his surplus drugs. Dick and Isabelle's house was to the left of the store, complete with a rock walk leading to the store. After Dr. Cleaver left the area, his office and house became the home of Martin and Sue Penn. The store then carried a wide variety of goods. There were shoes, fabric, farming tools, lanterns, and just about any thing that was needed by a rural inhabitant.
Martin Penn, with the help of his five sons, farmed while also tending to the store. However, one day in 1933, while raking hay with a team of horses, the team got spooked and ran off with him. Martin's legs were entangled in the reins and he was dragged along the creek bed near the store. Shortly thereafter he died from massive injuries.
Sue Penn, "Mammy" as she was affectionately called, became the new storekeeper. Along with all of the children she kept the store running. By this time, some of the children were married and had moved to other states, but some of the children had moved nearby and came daily to help. Haskell, who never married, stayed with Mammy to help work the family farm and help tend to the store. Alma, "Tincy", came daily to help with the store and do the "women's chores" around the house. In 1972, at the age of 92, Mammy died in her sleep.
This left Haskell as the next storekeeper, along with help from Tincy, who still would come and do the "women's work" plus stay in the store on occasion. Haskell tended the store for many years. He lived alone in the family house. Penn's Store had changed little over the course of the years. It was still the place to come to in the community and new residents would always make themselves known to Penn's Store. Haskell kept the store open seven days a week, rain or shine.
In 1993, after suffering a stroke, Haskell passed away. He was 84. He passed the store on to his youngest sister Tincy, who kept everything just as it was with little changes. Tincy received help from her daughter and grand-daughters in keeping the store open every day, seven days a week, rain or shine.
In June 2000, one of Tincy's granddaughters, Dava, passed away from a heart condition. In December 2001, Alma 'Tincy' Penn Lane passed away. She passed the store on to her daughter Jeanne Penn Lane and grand-daughter, Dawn Lane Osborn.
The Porter Brothers arrived from Randsburg in 1905 with 18 wagon loads of merchandise and built a store. The HD & LD Porter Store was the leading merchant in Rhyolite, Nevada. Customers were able to purchase groceries and fresh vegetables, clothing and assessories, mining supplies, hardware, lumber, furniture, hay, grain, and Studebaker wagons from this store. The store also offered freight animals for rent. Their slogan was, "We handle all good things but whiskey." Their first store in Rhyolite was located at Main and Esmeralda and opened in June 1905. The concrete, one story with basement and huge store front windows, building located on Golden Street was built in 1906. It was opened for business in November 1906. The lot was purchased for $1,200 and estimated building construction is $10,000.
The company had warehouses located in Beatty and Rhyolite, selling both wholesale and retail goods.
Rhyolite is a ghost town in Nye County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is in the Bullfrog Hills, about 120 miles (190 km) northwest of Las Vegas, near the eastern edge of Death Valley. The town began in early 1905 as one of several mining camps that sprang up after a prospecting discovery in the surrounding hills. During an ensuing gold rush, thousands of gold-seekers, developers, miners and service providers flocked to the Bullfrog Mining District. Many settled in Rhyolite, which lay in a sheltered desert basin near the region's biggest producer, the Montgomery Shoshone Mine.
Industrialist Charles M. Schwab bought the Montgomery Shoshone Mine in 1906 and invested heavily in infrastructure, including piped water, electric lines, and railroad transportation, that served the town as well as the mine. By 1907, Rhyolite had electric lights, water mains, telephones, newspapers, a hospital, a school, an opera house, and a stock exchange. Published estimates of the town's peak population vary widely, but scholarly sources generally place it in a range between 3,500 and 5,000 in 1907–08.
Rhyolite declined almost as rapidly as it rose. After the richest ore was exhausted, production fell. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the financial panic of 1907 made it more difficult to raise development capital. In 1908, investors in the Montgomery Shoshone Mine, concerned that it was overvalued, ordered an independent study. When the study's findings proved unfavorable, the company's stock value crashed, further restricting funding. By the end of 1910, the mine was operating at a loss, and it closed in 1911. By this time, many out-of-work miners had moved elsewhere, and Rhyolite's population dropped well below 1,000. By 1920, it was close to zero.

My niece gave up her Monster High dolls this year and I couldn't resist re-imagining the "Coffin Bean" store front. My vision was more like a Convience store than a coffee house, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Today's thrift store score (except for the pose doll who I found a while back). I think they all came from the same home. Interesting lot they are. I'm pretty stoked about finding Tutti and a Susie Sad Eyes (who is looking mighty pissed that she's nekkid).
587 will now be stored in Hull depot, never to return to service.
Can you tell I like this bus? The roller blinds are a dying breed for sure, certainly worth chasing via train to Cottingham to catch the 12.32 arrival at Cottingham The Green (Sainsburys in brackets).
*hints at anyone to purchase this fine vehicle for preservation since no President has yet been preserved and this has a rollerblinds*
I believe there is another store already lined up for this space... At least I did hear that a specific retailer I will not name (not a typical mall anchor and fairly new to Ohio) was wanting to open here. Also, note the lack of leasing signs... Sears closed this store in June 2016; it was originally Montgomery Ward.
The Sandusky Mall was developed by the Cafaro Company and opened in 1977. Within a couple years, the mall featured May Company, JCPenney, Woolworth, Halle's, and Montgomery Ward. The short-lived Halle's (1980-1982) appears to have been converted to Elder-Beerman. May Company changed to Kaufmann's then Macy's and has since closed in March 2017. The Montgomery Ward store was closed in 1986 and changed to Sears. Sears closed in June 2016. Woolworth changed into T.J.Maxx (which now appears to be planning a relocation out of the mall).

Fisher's General Store is part of a Nostalgic little village just outside of Portage la Prairie, about 50 miles west of Winnipeg.
Through the right window you can see an old barber's chair, that part of the store is an old style Barber Shop. I was standing by that chair when I took the shot "Remember When" posted yesterday.......now you know the rest of the story!
Winn-Dixie #2268
3170 W. New Haven Ave., Melbourne, FL - Plaza West
This Winn-Dixie opened in 1982, and the exterior of this store hasn't been touched since! However, this store did receive a minor interior remodel in the early 2000's. Unfortunately, the plaza's landlord chose not to renew Winn-Dixie's lease, which expires in January, so this store will officially close on December 10, 2015. This store will be replaced by Brevard County's first location of Lucky's Market in Summer 2016.
While I don't have the front of a Lexus blocking part of this photo this time, that sign now decided it wanted to get in the way!

Closeups of the 3'' Vinylmation Merida Figure.
I just got the Vinylmation Brave Merida and Triplet Figure Set from Downtown Disneyland's D3 Vinylmation store. It is also available online, but I used my Disneyland annual pass to get a discount at the Disneyland store. It is a bit pricey at $39.95, but it is very well made. This is the first Vinylmation figures that I've owned.
Princess Merida is 3'' tall, and the Triplet Princes are 1.5'' tall. and are made of solid vinyl. . Merida head and arms rotate 360 degrees. Her base pops off, and can be put back on halfway, so her feet can rotate. Her right hand can hold the included bow. She is wearing the dark blue-green adventure outfit, and is also carrying a painted knife in her belt. Her mickey ears have two symbols from the movie associated with Merida - a spiral pattern, and a three bear pattern.
Merida is the heroine of the upcoming Disney/Pixar animated movie Brave. Merchandise related to the movie has been available for sale by the Disney Store since April 23, and is now being sold in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
The Triplet Prince figures each have distinct faces. They differ in the direction of their glances and the shape of their mouths. However there is nothing on the box or on the figures that gives their names, so we don't know who is who. Since they are half-size Vinylmation figures, they are part of the Vinylmation, Jr series. Their heads rotate around 360 degrees, but the rest of their body is in a fixed position.
I photograph them boxed, during the deboxing, and fully deboxed. Then I pose them with other Brave figures being sold by Disney.

MOC: Modular LEGO Store. Based on the LEGO Brand Retail Store set that has been used as a giveaway at store openings over the past couple of years, but blown up to minifig scale.
And yes, I know that the original set isn't a corner building, but I just hadn't built one yet and needed one for a layout I was working on :)
