Today, off-line stores are going through hard times due to the dominance of online stores.
Many brands go out of business, unable to withstand price competition with eBay and other gray internet market platforms.
In my memory, separate branches of the brands Circuit City, Comp USA, HHgreg, Sport Authority, K-Mart, Ames have already closed.

Let this branch preserve the memory of interesting shopping and entertainment centers, malls and simply large stores.
While they are still there ...

The Fresh Market.

Organic products, great selection of teas, pleasant soothing atmosphere, thanks to thoughtful lighting.
Good bread selection. Sushi. All kinds of dried fruits, up to dried kiwi. Prices are mostly high.

A.C. Moore Arts and craft.

Similar in many ways to Michaeles, but has much more wood blanks,
decorative flowers (especially sunflowers), threads for knitting and everything for
fans of scrapbooking (making personal albums from photos and clippings).

Bed bath & beyon

Sells related products for bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and dining rooms.
The quality of the goods is good, prices are high, but coupons are constantly sent to the house at great discounts.
That is, it can be very expensive only for the first time to a casual passerby.
There are branches in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. There is a store of the same name in New Zealand,
but it is just a coincidence. There are about 1,500 stores in the world and it has been around for half a century.

Party city

Everything for parties, both family and corporate.

About 30 years ago, Steve Mandell barely collected 125 thousand to open his store.
He called it Party City. Success came lightning fast, and a year later he already had money
and was thinking not only about opening another such store, but also about covering all countries with them.

Now the number of stores is approaching 1000. Interestingly, throughout the year
The store places the main emphasis on the requisite trade for Halloween. But of course,
it has all the other decorations, gifts, sweets for begging children,
as well as all kinds of greeting cards.

“99 cents. Diptych "(2001) - $ 3.3 million.

Photographer - Andreas Gursky
Andreas Gursky 99 cent

Another work by Andreas Gursky. The photo depicts the interior of one of the shops where everything is sold for 99 cents.
The long rows, lined with bright boxes of goods, reflected in the glass ceiling, reinforce the feeling of endless consumerism in modern society.
A 2.07 x 3.37 meter print was sold for $ 3.3 million in 2007.

Barnes & Noble

The largest US bookstore. More than 600 such stores in the country.

When shops, as a rule, there is a cafe where, I do not know how it is now, before
You could read the book before or after the purchase.
Previously, some musical group of volunteers could perform here on holidays.

In addition to books, the store sells its e-book reader Nook (one of the photos is visible).
Near the checkout are also all sorts of reading-related items (Belgian chocolates).
They also sell cd, dvd and blue-ray discs (for some reason, only this room with rfid security).

For obvious reasons, the store is going through hard times, so
also sells educational games for children (and does not disdain those drowning).

In the first photo (the appearance of the store) there was a glare rainbow. When the opportunity arises, I will replace this photo.


I was in the same store today in another city, replaced the photo and added several new ones (aquarium and parrot).

Best Buy.

One of the largest home appliance stores.
More than 1000 in the USA, at one time it was even in China.

There are more sellers than buyers in this store.
They don’t allow you to calmly walk around and see, not to mention taking a picture.
Due to such a team of sellers, prices are too high, but nonetheless, sometimes at
there are so many good offers here on holidays (especially on TV),
that after buying a few more years the price is considered very good.

About 20 years ago, here it was possible to buy computers and accessories for them,
Now this topic is minimal, but there is still something.

Club members receive bonuses for each purchase, which can then be
turn into discounts upon purchase, but after a year they are canceled, so you won’t accumulate much.

Big Lots!

There are two types - ordinary and wholesale.
The goods are different - from food and electronics, to upholstered furniture.
For some reason, they always have a lot of Muslim saleswomen.
And for some reason, even in the summer they sell a lot of artificial Christmas trees.

The famous Walmart.

The largest trading network in the world. Goods - food, electronics, clothing, tools, furniture, materials. Prices are approaching wholesale.
If in 1979 Wal-Mart's turnover exceeded the mark of $ 1 billion for the first time, then in 2001 it only took 1 day.
Total in the world about 11.5 thousand stores.

Attempts were made to open stores in Russia, and an office was already opened, but it didn’t go further.
Hillary Clinton was a member of the board of directors of Walmart much earlier than these attempts, so this is not because of her.

CVS Pharmacy

The most common pharmacy store in the United States (about 10 thousand stores).
In addition to pharmacy goods, he trades in any other small things, and also prints digital photos.
Some CVS stores have Drive thru full srvice. That is, you can buy any product without leaving your car.
In the second photo it is visible. Long-term prescription orders are accompanied by an additional free
service - they call you, remind you that the tablets need to be renewed or that a new portion is already waiting for you in the store.

Hobby works

a new store for me, I also did not find information on the internet, only a site (apparently, actually a new one),
but everything about the product is clear from the pictures. The choice is interesting, for the first time, for example, I saw a double set
dominoes in which there is a stone 12/12. I will buy gifts for my grandchildren in it, rather than in Toys I Us.
About him next time.

Toys I Us and Babies I Us.

The shops are called "We Are Toys" and "We Are Babies" with special incorrect children's spelling.
Instead of "... are us" - "... I am us." I have only a few frames so far. In fact, the stores are very large.
Sometimes they are combined as they belong to one owner. Only Toys I Us Over 1500 in the World.
It seems to be in Russia too (in Sokolniki?). Before the founding of these stores, for some time there were "Kids I Us."

one of the oldest (50+ years) and large pet stores. More than 1500 in the world.
In addition to products and details, it also offers services such as grooming and dog training.
It also temporarily shelters small animals (birds, guinea pigs, etc.), but not cats and dogs.
Helps lost animals find their new owners.

Tj maxx

It was already mentioned earlier (in connection with the purchase of Soviet crystal glasses in it).
Due to their low prices for clothes and utensils, as they say, "is a nightmare" for many similar stores (Marshalls, Ross, Nordstrom, Macy's).
There are more than 1000 stores in the world, mainly in the USA, but there are also in Canada and in Europe (Britain, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Austria and the Netherlands).

Alcoholic shops.

In my state (Maryland) 5 years ago on Sunday it was impossible to buy alcohol anywhere.
Since 2013, you can buy beer or wine, but not in all stores (only licensed for this).
Strong drinks are still not allowed. Drinking alcohol can only be reached the age of 21 years.
And so in many states, only 5 states allow this at an earlier age (in which I do not know).


Shops selling beer and wine are usually called Beer and Wine.
But today I was where you can buy strong drinks - in Liquor and Wine.
Usually I don’t focus on prices, but I will make an exception for vodka, since prices will probably surprise you ...

Dollar stores.

Contrary to popular belief, they may have interesting things.
In addition, due to inflation of the dollar, less and less goods fit into the established price frame
and dollar shops have to "bargain" as an exception with more expensive goods,
sometimes reaching up to 5-10 dollars. This helps to find interesting products in such stores.
In total in the USA there are about 30,000 different dollar stores. Most of them are in the southern states.
There are more dollar stores in the US than McDonald’s.


Their names are very different, for example:

Dollar Tree, 99-cent Only Store, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Fred's Super Dollar, Five Below, Deals,
Dollar $ ense, Dollar Box, Dollar Star, Dollar & cents, Froogle's Dollar, Dollar Plus, 1 $ 2 $ 3 $, Dollar Duck.

In these stores I bought various color sheets for photographing for the background

Rite aid

Initially, I considered it the same drugstore as CVS,
but every year there are more and more other goods in it. I photographed fluently
at random different rows with goods and already at home I saw that with medicines so
not a single one was caught. I would not be surprised if there is only one row on the former main topic.
But the store is very good at the assortment of personal care and skin care products.
You can be photographed for documents. Prices are higher than in CVS.
