Pick-N-Pay moved into the Spartan Atlantic space after the chain closed their Biddulph Plaza location (I believe that closed when the entire chain folded in early 1975...the Brookpark Road (now Value City) and Bedford (later Barney's/Carl's/Rini Rego; now demolished) stores closed around the same ti...

I think the special sauce recipe between Bob's and Frisch's is different, judging from what I've seen on each of their sites...Frisch's also offers an Indianapolis-area delicacy, fried pork tenderloin sandwiches, in its locations (my best friend tried one of theirs and said it was pretty decent). T...

I haven't seen an old style Frisch's since the 80s. The old Manners that lasted into the 80s, tended to be a bit bigger than these oldies and more individual in design (one is now a Starbuck's on Warrensville Center Rd in Shaker Heights). The former Manners in Shaker Heights is now a Wendy's. It is...

Kenny King's operated Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises with their drive-in family restaurants, going back to the mid-1950's. They had exclusive franchise rights to KFC in NE OH until at least the late 1990's, when their last full service restaurants closed. I think the company still operates some K...

Marc's had about 4-5 Fun Time Pizza Palace locations...I believe in Mentor (Mentor Mall), Middleburg Heights (Southland), North Olmsted (Lorain and Clague Roads), Akron (Chapel Hill Mall), and, I think, one in Columbus. These were the original locations of Chuck E. Cheese's in NE OH...a Chuck E. Che...

I seem to recall Silverman's (a locally owned discounter that once had 8 stores and is currently down to 2) having a store at Biddulph Plaza, possibly at the former Grants location. Spartan Atlantic also had a Biddulph Plaza store, which I think later became a Pick-N-Pay and a Finast...that store cl...

Another Life Skills Academy is in a former Kroger supermarket on Larchmere Avenue...it was known as Woodland Avenue when Kroger, and later, Drug World, was there. Drug World was another supermarket-sized drugstore that also carried grocery, beer/wine, and general merchandise. Drug World was an indep...
