Some of these I never heard of as they were probably located in parts of the country where I never visited.

Locally, I can name many more that were fixtures in the NY Metro area for so many years and sadly have gone

Abraham & Strauss department stores  (A&S)
E.J. Korvettes
Sterns Department stores
Caldor
Filene's Basement
Robert Hall
Learners
Sam Goody
J.J. Newberrys
Alexanders
Levitz furniture and then don't forget the Supermarkets
Waldbaums
Pathmark
Grand Union
A&P

And maybe the best of them all  Crazy Eddie

I recognize every name you listed, Lenn.

I can add a couple more:
Walden Books
P.C. Richard & Son
And Supermarkets Bohack & King Kullen.

The article mentioned Hills Dept store....We had a Hills growing up, but it was strictly a grocery store. I'm not sure if it was the same parent company, but the Store Logo sure looks the same according to my foggy memory.

Ahhh, didn't know that Lenn. We bought from stuff from there when we first got married. I heard they were gone, but obviously not.
Thanks for the update.

I just thought of a couple more, but I haven't been back to L.I. for years so you'll have to let me know if these are still around....

I had completely forgotten about TSS. I used to love that chain and shopped there all the time.
