Traditional Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants was so cool back in the day (90's). They're aren't many Pizza chains where family and friends can hook up on a week day night and enjoy each others company.
I agree, I remember going to Pizza Hut to dine in in the late 80s/early 90s. They had a nice inside with a salad bar , tables and booths with cool hanging glass lamps. I remember the “book it” program where if you read a particular book you got a pin and free pizza.
@@jamieyakimets839 Yes, and it had to be signed by your teacher. I guess if you really wanted to you could forge a signature for a tiny pan pizza and pin....
Wow! Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. In the Cleveland, Ohio area we had three main hardware stores in the 80's and 90's: Builder's Square, Handy Andy and DIY Home Warehouse! They all are gone now, taken over by Lowe's, Home Depot, and Wal Marts. Man I haven't seen a Ponderosa in years either! They also all left this part of the state by 2005. We still have a couple dine in Pizza Hut's left, but not many.
I worked for DIY in Bedford, OH. Tim Lally Chevrolet moved in there once that location closed (I think they have since moved out of there, I'm not positive). It very much felt like the Home Depots of today, wide open warehouse style, I'm pretty sure that's what the owners modeled it against before Home Depot decided to expand into this area. Once they did, DIY knew it couldn't compete with the larger business it modeled itself after.
Man I remember when I lived in a Berea Ohio and there was one right up the street from me like 30 seconds away.. I was reeeeally young burin don’t remember ever going inside one because I was so little.. but I do remember sitting in the car with my mom and brothers and sisters while my step dad went into DIY lol it was literally a couple minutes from Cleveland Hopkins Airport.. on the same road... thanks for a trip down memory lane.. I grew up in Cleveland’s but I now live in a Akron 😁 thanks for sharing hun 😁😁
Video idea. You can start a series were you talk about businesses(stores/restaurants) that went bankrupted and eventually closed and you can talk about how they failed and how popular they were; to add to that as well you can go find one of the former locations and show what it is now. I know that you have some videos similar to what I said.
Other local locations ; Ames, Hills, Pharmor, Delphi (Packard Electric), GM (Lordstown), GE Lighting (Warren, Niles glass), Mickeys Army Navy (warren, Sharon).
We had a DIY in Akron- it’s now a Gabe’s outlet store. Also, speaking of, just like this DIY store, there’s a Ponderosa building that’s been sitting vacant for awhile in nearby Cuyahoga Falls. 😛
That Pizza Hut Classic in Warren, Ohio is pretty famous for getting renovated in an old school way. I believe it was first built in 1987. Makes me think that plaza is from the same era.
Like the channel. DIY location has been holding sales for Kraftmaid Cabinetry. They would bring surplus cabinetry down from Middlefield and selling it at a lower rate at this location. Typically the building was open once a month for a raffle to get a chance to purchase cabinetry. Mostly it was surplus orders, incorrect orders, scratch and dent stuff. As far as I know it is still being used for this purpose. I remember quite well going into this store. This area has changed a lot over the years. K-mart use to be next door to the current tractor supply before building the super kmart store in Niles. A little know chain Stambaughs was in the current Farm and familiy location behind Perkins. Stambaughs was a hardware store similar to DIY. Stambaughs had a location in warren and a location in Boardman, Idk if the chain was larger than the two stores. From what I remember DIY ran Stambaughs out of business.
Yep we used to have DIY's and Builder's Square in the Cleveland area. I think some of the Builder Square's later became Home Depots. Like the one on Center Ridge Road in Rocky River. I do miss Ponderosa's tho, There used to be one in North Olmsted on Lorain Rd, now it's a closed bank (they tore down the old building to build a bank which closed just a few years later.)
Oh wow, looks like they just up and left. I used to drive by this place all the time since my ex-wife used to work at the Tractor Supply Company right next door to this place in the mid to late 90's. We only had one car at the time so I had to drive her to work and pick her up.
I can't believe all that merchandise and materials haven't been involuntarily liquidated by now. I know many have switched to take-out only, or are paired with a Taco Bell or Long John Silvers etc, but there are still dine in Pizza Huts around....not THAT rare. Ponderosa (and Bonanza) Steakhouses have been around since the late '60s. They're not a "90s" thing, but yes, there are not many left.
So I've got a forgotten place for ya. Dunno if you'll find yourself in central Colorado anytime soon, but the Safeway on Main Street in Cañon City, CO is straight out of 1983. The friend I was with when we went there didn't understand my fascination. From the outside, it looks like it's stuck in the 80s. From the inside, it looks even MORE like it's from the 80s. It's that weird Standard Grocery Store Yellow all around, it still has that "upstairs" area at the front where the management can look out over the place. The aisle signs look ancient. Even the more modern signage looks like it's getting sucked back into time. It's, in a word... glorious.
I dont think its the same affiliation these stores were only in ohio and have been out of business for 20 years. Idk why the logo would be the same tho...
Dude got an idea. Since the socioeconomic dynamic is changing due to technology and the Pandemic should make videos on the evolution of Main St USA as far as its shift from delivery,pickup, online orders and the closure/future of brick & mortar retail and even stadiums moving forward. and factor in the vaccine etc over the next 3-4 yrs. would make for a good at least 4-6 video series just my two cents bud

@@donnix768 So how’d they’d prove if you read the book? Did they give a worksheet or something?

Still have one down the street from my house here in LA. Renovated on the interior but it’s more or less the same

Reminds me distantly of "home quarters," which went into a downward spiral after black Monday 1987.

Between the DIY, Ponderosa, and the Pizza Hut, this is a really cool triangle of Warren

That is crazy. I wonder who eats the bill for that facility staying frozen in time like that?
the lights were on so someones gotta be paying for that... 20 years later

There is still a Ponderosa in business?
There’s 2 within 30 minutes of me in Southeast Wisconsin

Yoooo People eating at Ponderosa wtf Lmao. Shit straight outta 1995
What even is Ponderosa?
idk, the only ponderosa in my area closed many years ago
@@someperson3883 it was a famous chain of steakhouses that was big long ago
I cannot wait for you to have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and these videos to get the views they deserve
Anyone remember Handy Andy hardware stores in the early 90s or Builders Square?

Builder's Square was a big hardware store chain in the Chicago area. All are gone now.
Yes these were quite similar
and Handy Andy.
@@bossfan49 Good one. I remember going there with my Dad.
Builders Square was owned by KMART
Not surprised this is Warren. It also had the last Super Kmart
On a side note how large was DIY I only know of the Warren location.
We still have ours here in Burbank, CA. but it's called a DIY Home Center. Same logo.
I dont think its the same affiliation these stores were only in ohio and have been out of business for 20 years. Idk why the logo would be the same tho...
I can guess what DIY was a store that sold hardware, that got you to do it yourself.
I want to get the appliances from that place… brand new quality appliances…

Dam man where the hell is this? Classic Pizza and an open ponderosa near that DIY
