All I know is Brendles was a catalog showroom that closed up in 1996 Yeah, that's pretty much it. They were based in Elkin NC, and had stores in the Triad area, and later Charlotte and Myrtle Beach. They may have been in other parts of the Carolinas and Virginia as well. Their merchandise lines wer...

For those who care, I've posted the 1980s portion of the Charlotte history section. It was probably the most interesting and complicated one of the bunch, and includes the 1988 Kroger/Bi-Lo swap, the rise and fall of 3 Guys, and more: http://www.groceteria.com/charlotte/1980.html Now that I've final...

Woolco was common all over the country, and often was connected with the construction of small, second-tier enclosed malls. Two such mallls were constructed in Charlotte NC and another location opened in an existing center, as has already been documented on this site. Woolwoth gave up on the Woolco ...

Gold Circle and Ralphs were both owned by Federated Department Stores in the early 1980s, so it would make sense for the two chains to have opened stores in tandem. When Campeau Corporation purchased Federated in about 1988, some or all of the Gold Circle stores were sold off. The ones in the south ...

It's at 2306 Almeden Road at Curtner, just off Almeden Expressway. It didn't have the original color scheme, but did have the original walls and wall signage, just painted a more neutral color. I'd guess it opened about 1968. Interestingly, the exterior had been remodeled recently, as part of a reno...

Great pictures! I'm also curious about the windmill. Was that a Von's thing? Actually, the windmill was most likely related to Van de Kamps, as stated above. It may have been an ad, but a more likely guess is that there was a Van de Kamps restaurant/bakery adjacent. Most of them had windmill motifs...

Re: What store was this? Looks like old Safeway
Anybody know what this store is / was? This is a recent magazine ad for the Kia Sedona. I scanned it and cropped to show only the photo. My guess is that this is a former Safeway. Any guesses as to location, most recent operation, etc? No location guesses, but it's definitely a former Safeway. And ...
