Some small pics of the interior decor of a prototype Futurestore in Allendale, NJ.
I hate to admit it, but it looks kind of stark and creepy.

If nothing else, Family Mart was consistent. That looks identical to the former location in Columbus.Edric Floyd wrote:updated photos of the Family Mart building here in Georgia.

Surfing the net gave me this website: http://www.johnmcleanarchitect.com/Projects.htm It shows some Futurestore prototype images. In the Southeast, I'm pretty sure that they had Futurestores in Panama City, FL, some in the Louisiana area, as well as Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. I wish I'd visited ...

Speaking of K-Mart pairings, I have been told that a Kmart here in Charleston, SC had an Office Depot attached to it. I also remember reading/hearing that Office Depot fell under the Kmart corporate umbrella at one time. Can anyone confirm that? I'm going to double-check on this Kmart/Office Depot p...

The Maingate Plaza discount store sign looks just like one we had here in Maryland. It was a SEARS catalog store. Ours was about that size too. They sold appliances, sewing machines, vacuums and hardware, carpets. etc. That would be my guess. that's a great guess! The amount of letters would make i...

The 'Meats' sign in the former Thomaston Pig brings me back to the interior of Food Giant. Big Ominous Stencilly Letters. Although the Food Giants generally had more color around their section headers. There was one other Big Star in Columbus - and that's on Macon Road where Badcock Furnishings is. ...

I remember Gaylord's. Zayre bought 'em. Then Ames bought Zayre. Ames closed most of the Zayre locations in the South, including the Columbus ones. (The Columbus locations never became Ames stores.) Finally, Ames bit it. I don't remember an exact timeline, but I am positive that the Columbus Gaylord'...
