Hills
McCrory’s
Ames
Hess’s
Fancy Fruit Market
Judy Jean’s Bakery

(Many of these are regional)

But we did all our school shopping at Hills. And they had a killer snack bar.

Judy Jeans made the best cake. We bought one on a Saturday and put it on top the fridge. The next day it was full of big black carpenter ants. My mom had a fit!!!

McCrory's! I forgot all about that.... as soon as you said the name I remembered it.....and I remember that I really liked the store as a child, but for the life of me I can not picture it or even where it was.

Hills was better than Ames. I never cared for Ames, preferring Kmart over it. When Hills went out of business in Niagara Falls, it was replaced by Ames. Both stores had the same painted dinosaurs on the sidewalk out front that you could ride for a quarter. They just kinda went up and down, sort of like a carousel but in one place....

Fancy Fruit Market smelled of wet cardboard. But they had a bubble gum machine and we would save our nickels for it.

McCrory’s was in our mall. They had just about everything including a very small pet department with fish birds and little hamsters.

The Woolworths store here had a big pet department. There was a parrot there named Charlie. It could talk. The store closed up in the early 1980s. Someone from the store took the parrot home. It died a couple years ago, it was 78 years old.
