This store was opened as a Kmart prototype in 1992. In 2000 Kmart built a 50,000 square foot expansion onto the back of the store and converted it to a Super Kmart. This store is currently the only conversion of a early 1990s build Kmart to a Supercenter that is still intact. This is also the only Super Kmart currently at a mall, in fact the Super Kmart in Caguas, Puerto Rico should have been the only other mall location ever.

The Andersons is a small chain of four supercenters/hypermarkets in Toledo and Columbus, Ohio. This location was built in 1986 and is 147,034 square feet. The company announced that they were shutting down all their stores in Spring 2017. When I took these photos on March 4th, the closing sales didn't seem to be underway yet and the store was still being stocked. The store also seemed insanely busy, but I did take these photos on a Saturday (likely the busiest day). Due to the number of people, I couldn't get too many photos inside this store. I can't imagine this location was losing money and it was pretty updated on the interior. The other Andersons store I visited in Reynoldsburg, on the other hand, seemed less busy and less updated.

The single-story Bigg's wing of the mall.
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

Centre Commercial Borj Fes 27/06/2022 15h15
The modern mall near the new center of Fès opened in May 2013. It extends over three levels. It includes around sixty stores, a Carrefour hypermarket, a food court, a children's play area and a garage in the basement. The construction site began in 2010. The shopping center cost 400 million dirhams of investment.
The logo of the mall is a square of its name in geometric Arabic characters.

2727 Brice Road in Columbus, Ohio. This store officially "relocated" in 2008 to 8300 Meijer Drive in Canal Winchester, Ohio, but that store is too far from this one for me to use the word "relocated". Currently, an auto dealership is using the interior of the store to store cars.
There is another dead Meijer store on Georgesville Road in Columbus.

There was a sweet time when visiting Spanish Carrefour supermarkets and hypermarkets meant finding loads of fresh Hot Wheels, usually a few batches ahead of the UK. Seemingly those days are long gone now, the one in Sitges hasn't stocked any AT ALL since before Covid and even the huge hypermarket near Barcelona also had ZERO Hot Wheels. In fact it had ZERO diecasts full stop!
I did get the chance to visit one in a more rural location and that did yield a small amount of 2023 Case H and not wanting to leave empty handed I grabbed this GMC Hummer EV.
Looking rather clean in its all white unadorned colour helping to appreciate its neat detailing and monstrous size!
Mint and boxed.

I am going to take a break from posting the rest of the Pittsburgh pictures for a while. I have to finish a post on the Century III Mall for Dead & Dying Retail and I generally don't post pictures used in posts on Flickr until after the post is published. I also don't want to spend too much time posting pictures from the same area or backlogged photos I took nearly a year ago. For the time being, I will be posting some more recent pictures from smaller trips I have taken.

Pare o intrebare cu un raspuns destul de simplu, insa trebuie sa iei in calcul cativa factori ca vara aceasta sa nu ai probleme cu circulatia sanguina ori cu diverse bacterii pe care le poti lua extrem de simplu.
Stiu, pare ciudat, insa fiecare contact pe care il ai cu aerul iti poate dauna. Nu mai e ca vremuri cand umblam desculti fara probleme, cand alergam prin batatura ori prin fata blocului fara sa avem vreo teama. Din ce in ce mai multi microbi si virusi ne invadeaza. Decat sa tratezi mai bine previi! Iar ca vacanta ta sa fie una perfecta, evita disconfortul pe cat posibil.
Aud tot mai multe persoane care se plang de diferite probleme ale pielii la nivelul picioarelor. Ca sa nu te trezesti cu cine stie ce negi, infectii, bacterii fa bine si ia in calcul cateva sfaturi esentiale.
Nu poti sa porti adidasi ori tenisi pe 35-40 de grade si nici nu este indicat, astfel optezi pentru sandale ori papuci. Cand iti alegi incaltamintea pe care sa o porti vara aceasta, de pilda sandalele, alege o pereche cu o talpa de minimum 2 cm inaltime. Partea din fata care sustine degetele trebuie sa fie lejera, la fel si partea care sustine glezna. Atunci cand te descalti nu trebuie sa ramai cu urme. Daca glezna ori degetele prezinta urme atunci cand te descalti inseamna ca nu ti-a circulat bine sangele si poti ajunge la complicatii.
Papucii la mare cautare pe timp de vara! Nu trebuie sa iti lipseasca din bagajul de vacanta!
Alege o pereche de papuci care sa aiba, la fel, o talpa de minimum 2 cm inaltime. Cu cat talpa este mai inalta, cu atat pielea membrelor inferioare este mai ferita de probleme ulterioare. Chiar si pe nisip, la plaja, la mare - poarta papuci. Nisipul este mediul in care cei mai multi microbi isi gasesc casuta iar tu esti in pericol daca ai vreo leziune oricat de mica ar fi ea.
Incearca sa iti optezi ca incaltamintea sa fie din piele naturala. Plasticul, cauciucul ori pielea ecologica sunt materiale care pot afecta o piele sensibila. Ca orice dubiu referitor la microbi sa fie indepartat alege un spray care omoara micii nenorociti care ne fac viata mai grea.
Am descoperit de curand un spray genial si nu este nici scump daca il cumperi dintr-un hypermarket. Am dat pe un dezinfectant dezodorizant Sanytol spray vreo 11 lei si l-am achizitionat din Kaufland.
Il poti folosi cu incredere si pe cele mai scumpe perechi de incaltaminte. Nu afecteaza deloc materialul si nu pateaza. Pentru linistea ta, citeste eticheta totusi, just in case.
Pe principiul "fii la inaltime" alege inaltimile cand vine vorba de talpa sandalelor ori papucilor pe care ii alegi. "Vara trebuie sa respire si picioarele, mai mama" asa imi spunea mama cand eram mai mica. M-a convins ce-i drept destul de tarziu, iar acum fie vorba intre noi, as purta sandale si iarna la cat sunt de comode. Papucii in schimb, ii prefer doar pentru plaja.
antibacterian, bacterii, bagajul de vacanta, cauciuc, ce purtam, circulatia sanguina, dezinfectant, dezodorizant, glezne, incaltaminte, kaufland, leziune, mare, microbi, negi, nisip, nu afecteaza materialul, papuci, pereche, pericol, picioare umflate, piele ecologica, piele naturala, plaja, plastic, sandale, sanytol, spray, talpa inalta, tenisi, virusi

This is one Renault Dauphine which won't rust away before your eyes! ;-p
An absolute stunning replica by Norev very much to collectors standards yet cost less than a basic Hot Wheels when found recently at an E.Leclerc hypermarket. Norev are relatively inexpensive anyway though this was particularly cheap as it dates back to 2016 and thus clearly very old stock.

This building was originally built as the first Bigg's Hypermarket and a small adjoining mall / shopping center called Bigg's Place Mall in 1984. The Bigg's Hypermarket closed in 2010 and has since been tranformed into Jungle Jim's second massive grocery store. I am pretty sure this Jungle Jim's is the nation's largest grocery store at a whopping 215,000 square feet (larger than most supercenters or department stores)!

The "Super" and "Center" signs are original to the store and they really show their age!
This approximately 200,000 square foot Super Kmart had its grand opening on October 27, 1993 and continues operating as of December 2014. This makes it the longest continuously operating supercenter (superstore, megastore, hypermarket, or whatever you want to call it!) in Northeastern Ohio. This store is closing in September 2016.

Checking out the abandoned Metrocenter Mall. Metrocenter was a major regional shopping mall that opened in 1973. Once a regional destination for shopping, it slowly started to decline in the 1980's due to new competition from other new regional malls that had recently opened. After a series of ownership changes, store closures, remodels, etc. the mall was permanently closed on June 30th, 2020 due to major declines in visitors due to the pandemic and failing to attract any new tenants.
Today the property still has a few active tenants. In 2018 Walmart built a new Supercenter at the south end of the building. Additionally Dillards has continued to operate their anchor store space as a Dillards Clearance Center. LifeStorage, a mini-storage place is also in a different former anchor store location.

The mall entrance for the former Elder-Beerman / Steve & Barry's store.
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

I think this is a shot of the Off 5th store that didn't come out too well.

Thank you for your comments and Fav's.
This Kmart opened around 1992 (not exact but loopnet claims to be built in 2000) which could be the 3rd Super Kmart store in the chain. This looks exactly like the Montrose, Ohio and Medina, Ohio Kmarts. This store closed in 2003 and it is now Walmart. This Kmart is 207,774 sf one of the largest!

Born in Helsinki, Finland 1976 | Lives and works in Toledo, Spain
"Riiko Sakkinen is the founder of Turbo Realism, a 21st century art movement that depicts globalized capitalism with mocking verisimilitude. He composes drawings, paintings, murals, slideshows, installations and interventions that comment on consumer culture, from fast-food to prostitution, from hypermarkets to drug cartels. He believes in Pablo Picasso’s dictum, “the art is not made to decorate rooms. It is an offensive weapon in the defence against the enemy”.
After graduating from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2002, Sakkinen moved to Spain, where he still lives and works. Sakkinen’s works have been exhibited widely around the world in galleries and museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Camden Arts Centre in London and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. His works are included in the permanent collections of several museums, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York."
RIIKO SAKKINEN WILL PROTECT YOUR HOMELAND
By Jani Leinonen
I was 19 when I read from a newspaper in Helsinki that an art student had fooled a journalist from that same newspaper by impersonating the world-famous artist Tal R in a press conference. The newspaper attacked the student with all its literary power and told the readers how morally wrong it was to cheat and lie. The student had with a simple, almost silly, act undermined the authority of Finland's biggest newspaper. The control and power of the huge media house was stolen and put it in the hands of a young and prudent student. That student was Riiko Sakkinen.
Even though Riiko will never agree with me, his whole artistic strategy was defined in that one simple gesture of identity theft. Like Andy Warhol, Sakkinen steals images from contemporary super and hypermarkets, advertisements of all sorts and the overwhelming stream of media imagery. But, unlike Warhol, there seems to be nothing random about Sakkinen’s art. Every detail of his images is full of geopolitical, sociological and ideological meaning. Meaning that is not given by the artist but rather revealed by him. With these revelations Sakkinen unveils capitalist conspiracies and ideological warfare of everyday and in trivial consumer products and markets from döner kebab to AK-47 assault rifles, prostitution to Hello Kitty bags and Don Limpio washing powder. Sakkinen makes our daily loaf of bread an amazing adventure into the world of hidden meanings, corporate politics and personal stories of an illegal Nigerian immigrant harvesting the oats in Spanish farm of a multinational food corporation.
However, one thing troubles me with Sakkinen´s work. His art does not follow the commercial logic all the way to the level of his explicit model products. A true product reveals everything and more about itself. Cereal boxes contain not just nutritional facts, but explicit lists of all ingredients, calories, sugars, fats and even all the unhealthy additives. They also include even more, super, tasty, crunchy, frosted, winning promises of taste, health and happiness. Before talking to Riiko Sakkinen and visiting his website I only knew a fraction of how much each work of his can offer me. I did not know how much each of them contains secret knowledge. Knowledge that is integral to consumers, or citizens, like us understanding the world around us.
Every single one of his drawings tell me about the world that is hidden beneath the one in which we live our everyday lives. Behind the facades of Freedom, Affluence, Security and Happiness. When I studied together with Riiko in art school, while the rest of us were reading porn magazines hidden between the Communist Manifesto, Sakkinen was reading Communist Manifesto inside a porn magazine. That was Riiko´s facade.
Jani Leinonen is a visual artist living in Helsinki. He studied in the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts together with Riiko Sakkinen and they have since then collaborated in several projects including the exhibition "Jani and Riiko's Free World" at Amos Anderson Art Museum, Helsinki, in 2009.
