Lechmere will always be my favorite retailer. Prior to MW buying them out, they carried quality products and had almost anything you wanted. From sporting goods,cameras,luggage, jewelry, music they had it all. Can’t begin to count how many hours I spent in this store in the 80’s. It was the best and there will never be another like it.
9:15 So THAT'S what happened! I worked there in 1997. One day, was really hungover and told a customer looking for a breadmaker to ask someone else, cause housewares 'wasn't my job'. Next day, the store was closed for good.
‘Is Lechmere right for you...? We’re seeking associates that want to be part of our team. Unless, of course- we decide we don’t need you, in which case you’ll be terminated.’
The exact store a lot of our commodore 64 and amiga software came from. And probably TV's and the original twin console VCR! Though I was more enamored with the "Let's Pretend" toy store inside the mall
Fond memories of going into the flagship location in East Cambridge (where the Galleria Mall is) in the late 70s/early-80s! If I remember correctly, they had lay-a-way. I was usually with my family and we lived in the projects so... LOL!
Oh Boy I remember seeing this when I started, I opened the Distribution ctr in GA . in 1986 Promoted to warehouse Mgr Clearwater Fl , then Greenville SC, had 2 kids and they decided to close the southeast region. Wanted to send me to Boston glad I never went as they closed those stores too.
Jerry O'Halloran one of the best of the old time stores. I used to work at filenes basement in dedham in the early 90s and lechmere was next door. Now the whole building is a BJ's. Such nostalgia for those days!
Jerry... I worked at the Clearwater store in 88/89 computers then TV department until they closed the store. I enjoyed working there while going to college. Sell those extended warranties!!!
@@ericreynolds9354 I think I was in the Greenville SC store at that time. Bill Bruty was the general MGR of Clearwater, Jim Frering, Michelle Gastor, are a few names I remember as well
This company had a store in Woburn and that store and we were in had a special station for workers there. I visit that station, even though I never worked there and the company and Station closed before I was even born, what I do have a love for abandoned train stations.
Anybody remember Dave Ruane who worked in the Danvers store? He was also a Teacher in the Malden public school system. Loved Lechmere for their Stereo equipment.
Arthur Collins, is there a video with this department store's ceiling fans? If not can you please upload one? This department store's ceiling fans were discontinued in early to mid 1993; 4 and a half years before this department store closed.
Question: Will any of the other employees ask a question?! Why only 3 people are allowed to ask the questions? Also, how come you hire a bunch of people then only keep a few? You jerks! Me in 1987 I was 19: Hi, do you sell Sega? Older lady walking the isle: Saga? Me: No Sega, it's a video game Older lady walking the isle: I have no idea, turned and walked away Me: I hope this store goes out of business in 10 years 1997: wake up, wake up Me: What what's going on, who is this I don't see anyone! 1997: Your Lechmere wish has come true Me: Who are you 1997: go back to sleep it's late

Loved Lechmere when I was a teen - looking at their stereo, tv and HIFI equipment.
Wow. Lechmeres didnt mess around. They really expected the most of you for that $1.75 per hour.
Wow..xe

That was my Dad, dude.
Yes when they got bought out by home image.. XD
@@sycoraxrock LOL WHAT
Ya blew it. 🤣
"What about benefits?"
"You work here, and we give you money."
And the employee discounts. Don’t forget those. They’re the tops!
Remember when these shitty employers had all this crazy control over their employees?
Loved going there as a kid. I think there was one down from Child World in Dedham.
Loved going to Lechmere at Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers as a kid to check out the stereos. I think it’s now a Target.

I used to go to Lechmere every week to play Mortal Kombat on SNES. Man I miss those days.

Idk who's that?
I remember this video! Lol
I worked there in 97 when they closed shop.
how come only 3 people have questions? I bet they're the ones that dont get hired.
They only lasted 14 more years..
I miss Lechmere!

What was so special about the ceiling fans?
What replaced this in liberty tree mall?
....then tried to be Best Buy and went under.
8:40! Tom Bergeron with blonde feathahd hayuh...
"That's better than the some of the Johns I've been with..."
whatever happened to him... lol
‘Notice I say ‘Schedules’, Sylvia. Not ‘OWR-WIZZ’...’ 🙄🙄🙄
Does anyone know how Leachmere got is name ?? Thanks for the upload.xd
Now a days they'll put you in a department that you didn't list on the application.
that is why retail sucks, and the businesses management can't find suckers to work for them, except sub-par, desperate people
I worked for them!!! HORRIBLE EMPLOYER
Question: Will any of the other employees ask a question?! Why only 3 people are allowed to ask the questions?
Also, how come you hire a bunch of people then only keep a few? You jerks!

Me: I hope this store goes out of business in 10 years
1997: wake up, wake up
Me: What what's going on, who is this I don't see anyone!
1997: Your Lechmere wish has come true
Me: Who are you
1997: go back to sleep it's late

great world, with expendable people desperate to work for a company owned by CCP Lackeys, who make millions of USD's while paying the workers pennies!
14:17 some of the worst acting of all time begins.
