I miss all of these. Our local mall recently closed as well. It's sad.
I still have a lot of the Sears catalogs from the 70s and 80s.

These are failed business - why is that "sad" ? They come, and go - that is how the economy works

That Blockbuster banner said "you don't miss us you miss being young" truth!

Western auto was 50’s 60’s. They were pretty much done by the 80’s. Great store.

Bring back Hills. Hills paved the way.

As far as I know there is still a Western Auto/True Value store in my hometown,Alamogordo,NM. I used to work in the auto shop back in the 80's when I was cutting my teeth as an auto service🛠 tech.
