Name some companies that you were sad to see go under. I'll start:
1. Toys "R" Us
2. Circuit City
3. Sears
4. Kmart

I second both of these. I didn't get my hands on a lot of the good stuff that Atari was doing in their PC line but I liked what I'd seen. I owned a number of Commodores and Amigas over the years. Fantastic machines.
shareOnly Canadians will know what this is, but Zellers. That place was expensive as shit, but I hung out there all the time.
shareI'm not even Canadian and I'm a millennial and I know what Zellers, but I've never been in one or seen one before.

Saan stores
Sam the Record Man
Consumers Distributing
Eaton's
and Future Shop a little bit.
oof, a&b opened a big, fancy store in the downtown here and promptly closed about 4 months later when they went bankrupt. i thought that was a great shop.
saan stores were definitely a big part of my childhood.
Eaton’s too. I loved their Boxing Day Sales. Might as well mention The Bay, too. Although they’re still around, I was shocked last year to find that they’re just like a Kohl’s in the US these days.
