I have fond memories of Caldor. The one in Kingston was like the one in the second pic, only without the rainbow logo. It had the last logo they used. The Newburgh, New York store had both the Rainbow, and the Orange logo.

You can't downsize them on the forum. You need to use a program, even MS Paint, to downsize the picture, and then attach it.

The Caldor in Newington is still standing as when it closed in 1999, and really, no one wants it, because there is so much empty space that a developer would have to do major work on as far as visibility. However, the town has gotten a possible offer from Sam's Club to move to the building from their location down the street in Berlin CT. They would like more space. This would be great for Newington as well.

I have been inside the caldor of newington, because i worked for toys r us for years. Toys r us has the keys to the caldor buidling and they keep their extra junk in their! They say its haunted, lol. Its very creppy inside, whenever someone goes inside their, the phone starts ringing! The building was very badly damage, kids would break inside and destroy everything! Toys r us thought about leaving newington, because caldor has been empty for years, but the business has been good for them not to leave. Yes, Sams club wants to take over the old building and probaly knock it down, to much to refix it, and the old service merchandise is now a expensive furniture store, Sticky & Audi. I been inside the old Caldor, its pretty cool, and Toys r us pretty much owns it until someone takes it over. Some of our associates even worked their and told me cool stories about it.

Actually, the windows arent boarded up anymore, except for one i think. The furniture store, a few months back used the caldor building for a clearance sale. They actually fixed and cleaned up the building! They had to do alot of work for a week long sale, lol! The lights sometimes are on at night, if the employees of Toys r us are to lazy to turn of the power. If i know about this board a few months back, before i quit Toys r us, i would have taken pictures inside.

Its official! Caldor of Newington, CT will now become the new Sams Club! i just found out yesturday, when i went to visit my people at Toys R Us. They are all very excited! Sams Club want to expand the building to make it bigger and also Lines & Things (or however you spell it) is also expecting to move into the plaza. My freinds of Toys R Us told me the town and zoning have been their looking at the building and stuff. Sams club wants to move in as soon as possible. Also, the old Toy Works of newington is going under construction, bc Modells is taking over the building. The started knocking the wall down, to expand the building. I will keep every posted of Caldor, and i forgot to take pictures, but i will take some next week!

TRU...That's exciting and sad. Hope you take pics of Caldor and post them. It's been empty for so long. When Sam's opens, my family will get a membership there. Also, Linens 'n' Things is a good odds and ends store. But, are they going to build a new building for it? Hopefully, NEWINGTON FAIR lives on! Also, when are they opening approx?
Also to TRU....I find it exciting that someone from Newington is posting here. I have been updating the board on the Newington Ames ever since it was demolished to the opening of Price Chopper. Please keep posting on stores of Newington CT. I am just starting to post again on the boards!

I pretty much know what comes to the pike before alot of people, i know alot of the people that work for the town, and they tell me whats going in and out. Also as a business major, its just my nature. As for Sams club and Linen's "N" things, dont really know when thing will get started, it all depends on the town and their zoning(because of all the wetlands) Also, rumors once again going around about olive garden is coming to newington, TGIF fridays got the spot they wanted in Jo ann's plaza! Walgreens has begun construction and also Modells to!

No way that is from the 80's. Late 60's probably, notice it only lists one store location at the bottom.
maby it was the only location they had in that state or town but Caldor used that logo through out the 1980's in the 60's they had the tear drop logo in the 70's it was the rainbow in the 80's it was the orange logo in the 90's it was the whit red and grey logo

The Newington Fair Plaza is getting a extreme makeover. The onwers of the property have a few things for the plaza. Check out www.chartweb.com, for more details. Look like the old Caldor will be divided into 3 store (Linens & Things, Asheley Furniture, and LA fitness.

In response to 76Braldor's question, "What happens to a store when it gets subdivided?", I think I might be able to give a very basic answer. A grocery store in a plaza in my town moved down to the other end of the plaza since it needed to expand. So, the existing store was converted into a Ross and Staples. Basically a wall was put up between the two stores in the space (I guess) and some interior and exterior renovation was done. Today the two stores look as if they were built brand new. I guess that's pretty much how subdivision goes!

You may not be correct on Sam's Club moving. Look on the website, a big Sam's Club logo is on the site plan. Maybe they are building from the ground up next to Stickey & Audi. If you know any more on Newington Fair, let me know.

hears a news report about caldor in jan 1999:hurt::(
Caldor Corp. dealt the final blow to its 20,000 workers yesterday, telling them they'll all be out of jobs by May as the big discount retailer closes its 145 stores.
Caldor's shutdown came even as rival Ames Department Stores appears to have weathered trade winds buffeting general merchandise retailers. Like Ames and another troubled rival, Bradlees, Caldor had struggled to emerge from bankruptcy but without success, and its failure sent a wave of sadness over employees and customers alike.
We're all a little teary-eyed," said Jane Nelson, a five-year employee standing outside the Caldor store in Brighton yesterday. "We all feel kind of numb that it's going to close." The decision, however, did not come as a total surprise. The $2.5 billion Norwalk, Conn.-based chain went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 1995. Earlier this month, Caldor stopped paying suppliers and halted the shipment of new merchandise. Burdened by heavy debt, weak sales of sometimes unpopular merchandise, growing competition and secured creditors pushing for liquidation, Caldor finally gave up. It plans going-out-of-business sales within three weeks, and then will close by mid-May. Caldor employs an estimated 2,400 workers in stores in Brighton, Braintree, Framingham, Weymouth, Saugus, Metheun, Malden, Burlington, Salem, Stoneham, Chelmsford, Westboro, Taunton, West Brockton, Pembroke and seven other Massachusetts communities. There was no answer yesterday at Caldor headquarters, where 1,200 workers were reportedly carrying out boxes stuffed with personal belongings at noon. Caldor said it plans to keep on most store workers through the going-out-of-business sales. Jim Fingeroff, an outside spokesman for the company, said "qualified employees" would receive some kind of severance payment, including an extension of medical benefits. Carl and Dorothy Bennett started Caldor in Port Chester, N.Y. in 1951, originally calling it Cardor, a shortened version of their first names, before settling on Caldor. Caldor thrived until recent years, when it faced increased competition from national retail powerhouse Wal-Mart's entry into a New England market already loaded with discount department stores. With the planned arrival in New England of another national giant, Target stores, later this year the writing appeared to be on the wall for Caldor. Investors say Target may be interested in some of Caldor's leases, which have attracted inquiries from numerous retailers, Fingeroff said. In the end, Caldor's performance did not allow it to overcome what Chairman and Chief Executive Warren D. Feldberg termed "vigorous opposition" to a reorganization from its secured creditors. Among Caldor's lenders, BankBoston Corp. recently agreed to extend $450 million in new credit to the company. "It's too bad," said June Maloney, 86, shopping yesterday at the Brighton store. "We do need some kind of department store here. I've been shopping here for the last six years." Caldor said it will seek a court order to proceed with sale of its real estate, including store leases.

CAldor's prices were HIGH. MY CLOSEST CALDOR WAS IN BEDFORD NH. They were a cookie cutter Bradlees, Kmart and Ames. MY DAD NEVER LIKED CALDOR. I THINK CALDOR HAD NO IDENTITY, NOTHING THAT MADE IT STAND OUT!! Their stores were big and stylish. THOUGH I WENT TO AN OLD AND UNREMODELED ONE IN METHEUN, IT HAD ORANGE LETTERS and in the inside it was dark and dingy and the wallpaper was like orangeish.
AGAIN, DID THE CREDITORS PUSH FOR LIQUIDATION?? I heard that the creditors turned down a reorganization plan
I AM SURPRISED THEY WENT BEFORE BRADLEES. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Bradlees and Caldor filed about the same time.
two weeks before they announced their going out of business, Caldor said they were not reordering more stock, and a week later it said Caldor would sell 64 stores to Kmart, Kohl's. That signaled the end.

Bad News, look like the makeover for the Newington fair plaza is a bust. I asked my "people" at Toys r us this week about it, they told me Sams Club has backed off on the project, i keep everyone posted.

I think that no one is smart enough to see what they have for the offering at Newington Fair. The 'Fair' is just a 'dead mall'. Sure, they swiped up Ames right away, why can't they ever sell Caldor to anyone? They can do a lot of many new things with that plaza. Kohls would be nice. Of course all the good stores are located out of town. Newington is 'blah' when it comes to stores with good service to add to it.

if Kohls wanted that Caldor they would have snached it up already like they did in 2000 if a store has been sitting there for 6 years i dont think any ones gonna want it the same thing is happening to the caldor in Middle Town New York it to is in a aria with malls and big box retilers thats why know onw wants that caldor not to metion the store size is pritty small thoyughs to caldor are not going any were soon

Well, I believe Kohl's did that to jump start their expansion. What I do nto like abotu them taking over so many Caldors (and bradlees) Was that they did not really replace them since they are just mainly clothes.
THEIR CLOTHES ARE BETTER THAN JC PENNY.
About Caldor, I said their prices were expensive. Last week I went to a Wal-mart that was a CAldor, it was in Swansea MAss in the mall and the wal-mart was small.

YES WAl-mart did,
Now,
WHen did caldor do away with that logo of the rainbow around the lettering?
And I went into one in MEthuen MAss, it was dark inside, it was orange inside, it was not every big, and the lettering was orange, and a silver box was the front,
The store is now Wal-mart.
I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OF THE BEDFORD HILSL CALDOR.
THeir first store was in porthcester, THAT BECAME KOhl's.
tHis was a CAldor, it opened in 96. caldor opened 12 new stores in early 1996, 6 months after they filed.
They were going to build one in New bedford mass, but changed their minds.

I'll never understand why they are planning on tearing down the big Newington Caldor. Sam's Club or even Price Chopper would of fit in that building hands down with space left over. Notice that Newington is too stuck up to salvage my favorite department stores. They tore down Bradlees in 2001, Ames in 2004, and now Caldor next? I have to say that Bradlees and Ames were old buildings, but Caldor is only 11 years old (built in 1994). (Ames was a 60s store and Bradlees probably older, but hey, this town could of spent tax dollars wisely and restored them. Ames looked like new from the outside). Enough said.

Burlington is already closed. I was in that shopping center on Saturday and every sign (including those signs they just installed that say "Center Pointe Place" on them, the Burlington Coat Factory part was removed.
I really can't think of a store that could fill the space as we already have just about everything in the area. It will probably end up being a Big Lots or divided up. :flaming:

Did the Giant Supermarket open as a Giant, or was it added in later? I don't think Giant was building stores this far east in the 70's, but maybe im wrong.

This center was just completely remodeled with Burlington's color scheme, and it has:
An empty Eckerd (closed in 2000)/dollar store The Silo/i Goldberg/furniture store is empty the Burlington coat is now empty
(The owner of this center owns the Cross Keys Center in Doylestown too..another "dead" shopping center. They have some serious problems holding onto tenents)

i have finally got a responce from the town of Newington regarding the Newington Fair plaza (Caldor Plaza). Here is what they said.
"This property is under option to a developer who has been meeting with Town staff to discuss possible reuse for a Sam?s Club. There are several environmental issues related to the wetlands and ponds on the property that the developer?s engineers are looking into. Any reuse of this property will require public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Based on the developer?s schedule these hearing may occur early fall Sept-Oct). Call for more information."
Still sounds go to me.

I went in that Caldor years ago. The inside was dark, dingy, the store was dirty and the walls were orange. The lettering was orange. I think the store opened in 1975. IT is now a wal-mart.
wow maby they just chaged the logo i guess did u get any pics ????
most of teh older claodr looked like back then they spend alot of timer rentvating there stores in teh late 80s and 90's before they clsoed
I saw one vacant in MAlden mass 3 days ago and it looked like that. the label scar had the orange caldor lettering.

Ahhhh Caldor. Anyone remember the commercial for New England Brickface that stated Caldor was a client of theirs?
Caldor that I know of
Swansea Mass---now a Wal-Mart that has mall access
Lincoln RI--formerly a Shepard's, demolished and is now a Super Stop & Shop
Warwick RI--I believe heavily modified or demolished and is now an Old Navy. This Caldor actually had two levels in a one level mall.
Woonsocket RI--not too sure here, the plaza it was in has been renovated, I think it might be a Burlington Coat Factory
Taunton Mass--remodeled into a Shaw's Supermarket

how come Caldor's stores in Rochester and Syracuse new york were short lived!! theyt lasted less than 2 years. they went in the first round
a lot of CAldor's stores seemed to be in connecticut and around new york city. They strated in portchester new york in 1951. remember. they never had a caldor in maine or vermont (well alot of things aren't or were not in vermont)

Syracuse, has 145,000 people, and ROchester, has about 215,000 people, were large cities. I am guessing that it did not work out there and it was a disaster. it is not unusual for a chain to pull out of new markets they entered recently. Like Ames in the 2nd bankruptcy pulled out of Chicago after entering it.
I still w*onder what happened to teh old Caldor in portchester, but the current one in portchester became Kohl's.

Willimantic Caldor was a nice store. It was updated to the new format only months before the chain closed. I remembered being in there when they were closing the store. I liked the old gray and red colors. It later sat abandonded. Ames bought up the location and made it one of the nicest Ames I have ever been in. It only had a mall entrance, one was forced to leave the store through a small hallway on the eastern section of the mall. That Ames sold UCONN merchandise because they were only 10 miles from the campus. I went to the Ames closing sale at Willimantic. It is now a Kohl's but a small one. They added an entrance on the eastern side of the store where it used to be a service entrance. I believe they converted old stock rooms in Ames into customer areas for Kohl's since the back left corner is bigger than the rest of the store. It has restrooms and customer service. The old Ames didnt utilize the space as well as it could have. At the beginning the store was full of merchandise but it seemed that the store had less and less stock. Quite sad. The restrooms used to be these small one toilet men and women's rooms right near the registers. Caldor put them in and Ames just left them in. Ames had a good sized Snack Express Bar in the front right of the store with a number of tables and chairs. Most shoppers didnt go to the Snack Express despite the lack of food vendors in the mall at the time. I once got a Ames Closing Sale from the connector road on North Frontage Road. Decided to stick it in my dorm window at Eastern CT State University facing a road there. Stupid Eastern police threatened to arrest me and demaded the sign back and told me they would return it to the Ames manager. Im sure he didnt give a frickin stuff since they put up about 30 of them and they were going to throw them out anyways.

Label scar at Willimantic Ames was repainted over when Kohl's moved in. The Ames in Willimantic is technically in Mansfield, one town from Willimantic in the East Brook Mall, the area's shopping mall. One of the smallest shopping malls I have ever seen. About 30 stores with JC Penney, Kohl's, and Cinema North as anchors. JC Penney has a mall entrance and a exterior entrance. The only anchor like that. TJ Maxx is physically connected to the mall but no mall entrance, it requires walking a sidewalk between JC Penney and TJ Maxx. This is because TJ Maxx used to be a grocery store. Cinema North rear auditorium doors, some connect outside while others connect to the mall.

More boring mall!!! Caldor used to be in the Norwichtown Mall in Norwich, CT. It was a small store that had even smaller spaces between aisles especially near the clothes after they redid the store. They redid the store several months before it closed. Its like they renovated the store with new overhang signs, flooring but felt it wouldnt be a biggie to make the aisles and main pathways in the store smaller but was quite inconvient for shopping carts. Norwichtown Mall used to have Styles Department Store, Caldor, Stop & Shop. Super Stop & Shop took over part of the mall and Caldor became a Bobs Discount Store. Part of Styles was taken over by Dollar Tree. When Caldor was opened there was no outside entrance but doors leading outside were right outside its mall entrance. They had their restrooms in front of the store on the right side. They were diguisting with rust on the sink pipes, it looked like it came out of the 1960's. When they redid the mall in the late 90's when Caldor renovated itself the restrooms were closed and the mall put some in the side corridor. Norwichtown Mall has like 10 stores and Stop & Shop has no mall entrance. Bob's Discount Furniture was a pathetic anchor store and HURT the mall BIG TIME. It led to closure of a jewlery store, a bank, an arcade, and a computer software store. The mall stores close EARLY on Saturday nights and extremely EARLY on Sundays. Caldor brought life to the mall, now everyone just goes to Wal-Mart. There was already an Ames in Norwich at the other side of the city and thats why this Caldor didnt become an Ames.

Bob's Discount Furniture is one of teh worst stores i have ever been to my parnets got some funrture from there an d with in to mounths teh cocuh was falling apart and i think over time people will stop going to wall mart so far this year they haveent done so well so i think they might be on the way to a sl;ow death there most likey gonna end up like kmart but i avoid wal mart as much as possble i go to Target Kohls JC Penny Macys Filenes Nordstrom Bloomingdales and many stores that dont start with teh name wal mart home depot or Sears
but any way back to caldor this store is locted in NYC from what i know it still might be there it was a fomer Alaxzanders

CALDOR SHOPPING CART SIGHTING! I saw an old Caldor shopping cart at the Dollar Tree in Norwichtown Mall. Caldor used to be located next to the store. Dollar Tree uses the shopping cart for stocking purposes. They have a couple more in their stock room, I saw them when they had the door propped open. They dont use those carts for customers since they are so wide. They have special mini shopping carts at the Dollar Tree for their customers.

Wow, man. I thought I was the only person that remembered those. Wasn't it New England Brickmaster, though?
"When Midas wanted to beauticize, they called us. When Caldor, the store with everything, wanted one thing more, they called us..."
I also remember Caldor being mentioned at the end of certain product commercials. Like Chia Pet,... at the end of the commercial, they'd say "available at Bradlees, Zayre and Caldor" or something like that and show the stores' logos on the screen.

I worked at the Caldor in Salem, MA from about 1990-1992. Definitely a lot of happy memories.
I was a cashier for a while and then worked in the "Electronics" department (which is what we called it in my day - before there was such a thing as "Sight & Sound").
I wish I took more pictures when I worked there. But I might be able to find some memorabilia to scan and post here - an old paystub, my old nametag, maybe an old raincheck slip.
I also wish I made a tape of the Caldor song ("your everyday discount store..."). Although I got really sick of hearing it over and over and over again while I was working there, I'd love to hear it again.

There was a Caldor store in West Babylon NY- now a frickin stuffty National Wholesale Liquidators, it closed when the chain closed. Freeport NY is now a BJ's, Deer Park is now a Kohl's. Coram NY- was a United Artists Movie Theatre, and then closed down because of a shooting or a stabbing or something nice like that that reflects the area. It now sits vacant & overgrown... and graffiti everywhere.

NEW STEW?S IN NEWINGTON Stew Leonard?s First Location in the Hartford Area Slated to Open in Early 2007 NORWALK, Conn., February 3, 2006 ? Farm fresh milk, locally-grown produce, custom-cut beef, just-caught fish, bread baked from scratch and gourmet prepared meals, combined with costumed characters and world-class customer service, are moving into the Hartford, Conn. area in the form of a new Stew Leonard?s fresh foods market.
The location of the new Stew Leonard?s store is the 112,800 square foot former Caldor?s store, located at 3475 Berlin Turnpike, in Newington, Connecticut, approximately 10 miles outside the state?s capital. The family owned food store is slated to open in early 2007, after making $15 million dollars in improvements, including:
? Building an in-store from scratch bakery and state of the art kitchens ? Installing a specialty cheese aging room and prepared foods area with indoor seating ? A caf? complete with coffee roasted right in front of the customer ? Ice cream parlor serving freshly made soft-serve ice cream.
?We?ve always wanted to open a store in the Hartford area, but were never able to find a suitable location until recently, when this property became available,? said Stew Leonard, President and CEO of Stew Leonard?s.
Named the ?Best Supermarket in New England? by Yankee Magazine, what distinguishes Stew Leonard?s is its focus on fresh food. Unlike traditional grocery stores that sell an average of 50,000 items, Stew Leonard?s store carries only 2,000 items, of which 80 percent are fresh ? that is brought in daily or prepared from scratch in the store. The milk arrives fresh daily straight from Stew Leonard?s dairy farm in Ellington, Connecticut, so customers can buy milk that has gone from farm to shelf in as little as six hours. The store is nicknamed the ?Disneyland of dairy stores? because of its country-fair atmosphere, with costumed characters and animated entertainment throughout the store that keep children entertained while parents shop. Stew Leonard?s legion of loyal shoppers is largely due to the stores? passionate approach to customer service: ?Rule #1 -- The Customer is Always Right?; Rule #2 ? If the Customer is Ever Wrong, Re-Read Rule #1.? This principle is so essential to the foundation of the company that it is etched in a three-ton granite rock at each store?s entrance.
Since Stew Leonard founded the store in 1969, the company has remained family owned and operated, with Stew Leonard, Jr. as President and CEO, alongside his sisters Jill Leonard Tavello and Beth Leonard Hollis who help with the day-to-day operations, and brother Tom who is a partner in the business. The family?s cousins, Tom and Dan Arthur, run the Yonkers and Danbury stores, respectively, with Dan Arthur taking the helm of the Newington store when it opens.
Stew Leonard?s has been recognized as one of FORTUNE magazine?s ?100 Best Companies to Work for? for the last five consecutive years, and currently employees 2,000 team members, with 88 percent of the management team being promoted from within the company. During the renovation of the Newington site, Stew Leonard?s will employ 200 people from various construction trades. Once opened, the store will employ 400 team members, with 65 percent of the positions being full-time. In addition, Stew Leonard?s will become an integral part of the community, donating food and money to locally based charities and organizations, holding family fun events and providing volunteer and service opportunities for Team Members.
The Newington store will be Stew Leonard?s third store in Connecticut. The other store locations are Norwalk and Danbury, Conn. and Yonkers, NY. with additional stores planned in Orange, Conn. and East Farmingdale, N.Y. Stew Leonard?s will lease the Newington building from the owner, American National Insurance Company out of Galveston, Texas, who is represented by Realm Realty of Houston, Texas. Representing Stew Leonard?s in the negotiation was Jeffrey L. Nable of SCA Commercial Real Estate in Westport, Connecticut.
?When I was a student at University of Connecticut I used to drive by this site on my way to the agricultural school. It is so amazing to me that 50 years later, we are opening a food store here,? said founder Stew Leonard, Sr.
Stew Leonard's began as a small dairy store founded in Norwalk, Conn. in 1969 with just seven employees. Today, Stew Leonard's is still family-owned and operated, but has grown to become a nearly $300 million dollar business with 2,000 employees. In addition to the original store in Norwalk, Conn., Stew Leonard's has stores in Danbury, Conn. and Yonkers, NY., with additional stores planned in East Farmingdale, N.Y and Orange, Connecticut.

Stew Leonard's Trying Turnpike February 4, 2006 By MARYELLEN FILLO, Courant Staff Writer NEWINGTON -- Stew Leonard's, the family-friendly retail food store known for its fresh milk and produce and its country-fair type atmosphere, is coming to the Berlin Turnpike.
The Norwalk-based company announced Friday that it has signed a lease to open a new store in the former Caldor building at 3475 Berlin Turnpike.
ADVERTISEMENT
"We can't wait," said Stew Leonard Jr., who heads the supermarket chain, which has been recognized as the "Disneyland of Dairy Stores."
"All you have to do is drive up and down the turnpike, and every great retailer you know of is there," Leonard said about Newington. "It's a real destination area, and the community has a lot of appeal."
Plans for the 113,000-square-foot facility include an in-store scratch bakery, a specialty cheese-aging room and a prepared-foods area with indoor seating, a cafe with coffee roasted in front of the customer and an ice cream parlor serving freshly made soft-serve ice cream.
The chain, which has stores in Danbury, Norwalk and Yonkers, N.Y., is considered a distinctive, niche food store that offers fresh meats, baked goods, dairy products and produce by buying from area farms and dairies, and limiting its inventory to ensure quick turnover. Listed in the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records for having the world's fastest-moving stock, and Ripley's Believe It Or Not for the world's largest sales of orange juice, it racks up $100 million in sales each year from about 100,000 customers a week.
Stew Leonard's is known for its entertainment accoutrements, including audio-animatronics that roam the aisles, and staff who dress as milk cartons, fish, vegetables or barnyard animals to greet customers at the front door. The store has been touted in such publications as Fortune, Sylvia Porter's Personal Finance, New York, The New York Times, Successful Meetings, and Tom Peters' "A Passion for Excellence."
Leonard said he expects to hire about 400 employees, and the store could open in early 2007.
The building, constructed in 1994 for Caldor, was vacated several years later when Caldor closed. It has been vacant since. It is owned by American National Insurance Co.
Town officials were ecstatic Friday, calling Stew Leonard's the right kind of addition to the turnpike that will benefit the tax rolls and the community.
"Stew Leonard's is well-known for the altruistic work it does in its communities," said Mayor Rodney Mortensen. "Our planning and zoning office is ready to provide the one-stop help the company will need to get an application in front of our planning and zoning commission. I am so impressed by the business's operation. It is totally customer-oriented and a good addition to town."
Officials said they hope to have an application for site plan changes to the planning and zoning commission in the next few weeks.
The arrival of the renowned store is not the first time the town has grabbed the retail spotlight.
In 2002, Krispy Kreme, the acclaimed doughnut maker, broke ground for its first New England store on the Berlin Turnpike. Politicians, residents and a brass band were there to celebrate the occasion. For months, Newington police were so overwhelmed with traffic that they sought help from Berlin, Farmington, New Britain and Rocky Hill. Later, neighbors caught shop employees baking doughnuts for other retail outlets, in violation of Krispy Kreme's zoning permit, and the store closed last year.
The Leonards' family business dates to 1924, when Charles Leonard began bottling milk. His son, Stew Leonard Sr., took over the operation and founded the first store in 1969. The chain has other openings planned in East Farmingdale, N.Y.,and Orange, but zoning approval for the store in Orange is being appealed.
"We had a nice talk Thursday about our lives on a dairy farm," said Mortensen, who owns an ice cream shop and restaurant that will be within a mile of the new store. Mortensen said he and Leonard shared stories about their own experiences growing up in a farming family.
"This is actually a little nostalgic for me," said Stew Leonard Jr., who recalled that his father took the Berlin Turnpike to the agricultural school at the University of Connecticut. A graduate of the Westminster School in Simsbury, Stew Leonard Jr. said he also has fond memories of the Hartford area.
Leonard sees only success for the new store, saying it will easily hold its own despite the recent proliferation of niche supermarkets in the area, including the discount gourmet Trader Joe's at Corbins Corner in West Hartford and the more chic Whole Foods in West Hartford Center.
"I think we have our own niche," he said, "and none of those stores can offer the fresh milk or produce that we do."

Wow!! Stew Leonard's in Newington? That'll kill the two A&P Foodmarts in Berlin and Newington. Oh by the way, Anyone in Newington -- is the old Office Max (near Shaw's) still empty?

As mentioned by Caldor 1999, I too was curious as to the whereabouts of Carl and Dorothy. I did some research, and here is what I came up with. The Bennetts set up trust funds in their name, a charity and a cancer center at Stamford Univ. I obtained a charity address for Carl, still living in CT. I found no mention of Dorothy, perhaps she is deceased. Carl Bennett 28 Windrose Way Greenwich, CT 06830-7232

Here's a couple shots of the Schenectady Caldor (Later Ames) on Route 7 in the Crosstown Plaza.
Half is now a fitness center, the other half will be (Sunday) a Price Rite (Shop Rite owned Aldi-style store moving from the other end of the plaza for a larger space).

The Caldor on Highland Ave in Salem, MA was turned into a Target. I am unsure if it was demolished, but I believe it to be altered slightly, as it still has the same layout, double doors, etc. This was a late 70's rainbow store, never updated. It was very dark and dirty throughout the 80's and 90's. When it closed, the whole plaza died. It has made a comeback, but without Caldor, I rarely go there. It also had cool orange carts with the rainbow, which I haven't seen elsewhere. In the sping I'm going into the swamp behind the plaza to see if I can find one. Does anyone have any info on this location or that style shopping cart?

I went to that target 2 years ago and it did not look like the caldor got demolished. Teh target has the same shape as the caldor building, but the target was smaller than most targets and I heard the caldor became Kmart for 2 yeras. I saw a pictgure of the kmart in salem mass on the SAlem news thing, but I did not get the picture then. IT looked like the caldors of the 1990s. when did you last go to this caldor. I went to the one in methuen mass yeras ago and the Caldor had the 70s orange Caldor lettering but had no rainbow, the store was dark and dingy and dirty.

I was last in the Salem, MA location around 96-97. The rainbows were inside, between the double doors, and inside as well. It looked VERY much like the early 80's pics posted on this forum. I know the exterior was retouched slightly, but the entrance is nearly identical. Unfortunately, I had moved away before the closing, and I never saw it vacant. As for it being a K-mart, I have also seen references to it online. I can neither deny nor confirm this myself. There were other locations nearby(Danvers and Saugus). I feel it may have left due to Wal-mart moving into the Rich's a few blocks away. Target is doing a great business there, which is good, because the Wal-mart is in poor shape, crowded and dirty. I wouldn't be surprised if they vacate that location.

Just came back from the Caldor in Newington, CT yesterday which will soon be destroyed (in early 2007, I believe). I came back to the plaza and hour later to see a police cruiser camping the lot. I took my pictures and took off after circling the building numerous times. I'm pretty sure someone from the nearby Toys "R" Us ordered a cruiser to patrol the area for suspicious people :)

I pass by Newington frequently and I find it hard to pass by Caldor without taking some new pictures. If I'm to understand, this is the last year we'll see one of the remaining Caldor buildings in the state.
Here's the other Newington Fair sign you'll see if you go down that road to the left side of the Caldor building and at the end of the street.

Here are updates on any remaining Caldor stores in Connecticut.
Caldor Store, Bristol, CT. Now a Price Chopper Caldor Store, New Britain, CT. Now a Wal-Mart Caldor Store, Southington, CT. Now a Wal-Mart (this is the Wal-Mart I worked at and also was my first job. This former Caldor site is still called "Caldor Village" but it doesn't say that anywhere in the plaza anymore. This store looked like the one in West Hartford and had a music store on the far left end of the store. It was never renovated from the "rainbow" look before demolition).

Caldor1999, did you ever go to school? If you did, then I am clueless to why you are completely illiterate. You can't even spell the store names correctly.

There is nothing wrong witht he way Caldor 1999 posts, the rest of us seem to understand just fine. He's also one of our biggest supporters and contributors. As we've told other anonymous users in the past, you should at least register before you start bashing people for anything.

I did some rummaging through my house of some things we still have around the house once purchased at Caldor sometime in the mid 90's. I managed to find a few boxes and things with Caldor stickers on them! This came off of a fake Christmas tree I still use around Christmas time! I love my Caldor tree! http://www.amesfanclub.com/forum/images/smilies_old/bouncing.gif :bounce:

Here is a full list of the Albany area Caldor locations and what has become of them. d_fife, this may answer some questions for you. Thank Billy Gr for some of the Albany-Central Ave location info.
Albany - Central Avenue - Opened in the 70's. Older location with orange lettered logo. Closed 1998.

Albany - Central Avenue - Opened in the 70's. Older location with orange lettered logo. Closed 1998. Became a Grand Union SuperSave supermarket for about a year(at one point, grand opening and going out of business signs were on the building at the same time). Now a Home Depot.

East Greenbush(?) - Routes 9 and 20. I'm not really sure if this was in fact a Caldor or not, but it does have some Caldor styling. If it was one, it most likely had the plain orange logo. It later became Ames, and the Ames location closed in 2002. Location now vacant as far as I know.

Well, it was never always an Ames, so it must have been something else beforehand. And judging by the building style, it looks like an earlier Caldor store. I don't know what else it could've been. It wasn't always an Ames though.

I can't believe how hard it is to track down the rainbow logo for Caldor. All the Caldor stores that used to be around me had the rainbow design and I'm surprised how few high quality logos exist. Does anyone have any artifacts from Caldor like bags or anything? Any good pictures of the rainbow design?
Here's something I found searching Google which I cropped from some document.

Just to note - the Albany one was (more or less) demolished and rebuilt as the Grand Union, which of course was then demolished when Home Depot built.
As for the Rensselaer (East Greenbush) store, it WAS always Ames, in this case always not being a long time. The rest of the plaza (from the ShopRite end to what was then Rite Aid) was constructed first, with the Ames (and space for 1 smaller store) being added a couple years later - they probably opened in the late 80's (give or take). I don't know why it has a Caldor style - maybe just a copy (since there aren't that many Ames - at least aorund here - that were built from scratch) if they didn't have their own building "style".
Another thought is that maybe Caldor had thought about building there at one point and chagned their minds (since it seems strange that the Ames portion was built after the rest of the plaza).

I've always thought it was strange that it followed that design too. Maybe it was the kind of situation down in Poughkeepsie with the unopened Grand Union. What about the Glenmont store? Was that built from scratch? I can't think of anything that used to be in there before Ames. Oh, and I also edited my above post with the location listings.

ames in glenmont was built from scratch, about 3 weeks ago I saw them doing work on it.
now back to caldor. did you know they were going to open one in new bedford mass when they opened the 6 stores in 1996, but they backed out for some reason and why did they back out of new bedford. but 3 years ago I saw the building in new bedford where they were going to put it and Ames opened where Caldor would have opened and the Ames there looked like a caldor building. I still want to know why they had a short life in the syracuse and rochester ny markets and I heard they were considering buffalo, if they made it to buffalo I wonder if they would have pulled out of there too. I bet buffalo would be a distribution issue because Buffalo is so far into new york. I bet caldor if they were in buffalo would have (though I never been to buffalo, but have heard of the area and researched it) gone to cheektowaga, towanda and a few other places maybe. I like caldor's 90s look, silver with the red logo. that is sleeker. northamtpon massa nd burlington mass were that way though they were built in the 1970s. Caldor only had 60 stores by 1980. and expanded into new jersey, rhode island, new hampshire, pennsylvania in the 1980s, but never had any in maine or vermont (well of course vermont).

I'm going back to Newington this evening after Toys "R" Us closes at 6PM to get some shots of the Caldor and plaza completely void of people. I'm working on a Newington photo album so check back soon! Just a reminder, there have no plans on the beginning of Stew Leonard's yet so if you live around here come check it out before they get rid of Connecticut's last empty Caldor.

Last Ames info in the Caldor post - yes, that whole plaza in Glenmont was new - I'd guess that it was built all at once, but not sure there - of course the Grand Union and CVS moved there from the Kmart plaza across the street - the Kmart plaza also had a flea mkt for a time in an outbuilding that was a garage style in the corner of the plaza (they moved there from the former Grant's in the plaza with Hannaford in East Greenbush (at 9&20 & 4).

Again, because of the auto dealers being built in portions of the old store, the space seemed smaller than it would have normally been. The words used to describe this place would be "dark, creepy, and full of cars". It's currently used as a used car warehouse(a title held by the old Hills/Ames up until last year. The old Ames remains vacant).

Swung by the vacant Caldor in Newington again today at noon and noticed more fencing around the building's front and a little on to the nearby hill (which will prove well for pictures when destruction begins). Today, unlike other days, I was spotted by a nearby property owner who didn't like me being on the otherside of the fence...

In just five days, they extended fencing all the way to scrub brush by the hill. Still, one can access the work site which I did (but is probably considered illegal at this point). Notice my car waiting for me on the legal side...

I was in Newington on Thursday and caught a glimpse myself low and behold I didn't have my camera on me (a first). I was going to swing by today but it was pouring outside. I'll get around there tomorrow morning or afternoon since tomorrow will be a break from the endless rain we've been having this week.

Got up to the rainy Berlin today happily to find it was only drizzling in Newington enough for me to score a set of shots of Caldor's identity-stripping progress.

Some points of interest. Note the trailer and the red barn-door tarp over the west-side doors.

The beloved "Caldor" logo is still up but now covered by this temporary tarp. Caldor1999 should be proud to own that "R" piece now :)

Pieces of Caldor are finally coming down. It's still unclear as to whether Stew's will total this building or just rebrand it. More updates coming as they develop!

I found myself with some free time and the inspiration to recreate the beloved "rainbow" logo for Caldor. About two hours logged total, I've made something to decorate my room with in commemoration of the finest retail logo ever!

I think it could be this: At our Sears store, the inventory manager can get data about the % of items that were scanned or entered by hand on the register. They want the employees to scan everything to avoid mistakes.

QuoteOriginally posted by d_fife what is now the former caldor in waterbury CT and the store was 82,000 sq.ft.
I went there a few months back looking for the former Caldor (after seeing the old picture on this forum) knowing it was transformed into a brand-new Bernie's. First time I went there I thought I was in the wrong area but I soon realized it wasn't there anymore.
I also went down the road a bit looking to see what became of the Naugatuck Valley Mall only to find the entire area has been revitalized.

Dude, you should've seen that area of Watebury a few years ago. It was hilarious! They had that brand new shopping center where the Naugatuck Valley Mall was and the shopping center across the street was a mostly vacant run down wreck. Plus at that time KMART Plaza was mostly burned out no thanks to the old Bernies.

Remodeled? They completely demolished the former Caldor of Queen Street in Southington. The Southington Caldor looked like the one you saw in West Hartford. Wal-Mart wasted no time acquiring that former "Caldor Village" property and building a Wal-Mart from scratch.
That plaza also had a Namco pool store, which was relocated down in the Queen Bee Plaza across the street and the Super Foodmart which has been a liquor store for years now.
That Wal-Mart opened in 2000 and was my first job, I worked there from Q4 2003 to Q1 2004.

Yes, that's most of New Britain for ya (run down). That was my childhood Caldor. It looked like the Southington and West Hartford stores all former "Star's" buildings acquired by Caldor in the 1970s and were unrenovated until the very end (rainbow-era stores). That Wal-Mart smells bad, attracts trashy crowds and is located next to an old plaza that hasn't seen change in a long time.

That store's facade has remained the same for many decades. Dare I say it's unchanged from the early 1980s. I remember it as a Caldor but not as a Kmart (even though it was for a few years post Caldor's closings).

I agree. that wal-mart was also small.
now back to caldor. how many CT stores had the rainbow era. 5 yrs ago I went to the ames in stoneham mass and the back of hte store had the rainbow labelscar. I never went to a rainbow caldor: I went to the oens in methuen (IT HAD ORANGE LETTERING AND inside was dark and orange), bedford nh, northampton mass, framingham mass, burlington mass.
Man caldor had a lot in CT. being in new britain, southington, west hartford and bristol and avon which are not very far from each other and in vernon and manchester. and a lot where in eastern New york ,like them being in peekskill and yorktown which are not far apart and had one in mohapac which is not far from yorktown like 30 minutes and had one in bedford hills. I heard they started in portchester and that must be why they have so many stores in the CT And eastern NY market. (THE POST ABOVE WAS THE first topic that has reached 1,000 posts)

The Connecticut "Caldor rainbow" stores I remember are the ones we visited a lot when I was a kid. Namely; Southington, New Britain, and West Hartford (which I actually never visited as a kid probably because that area of town is horrible and out of the way). We also frequented Avon, Newington stores but both were newer, cleaner stores which were updated to the 1990's designs (and in better areas). We went to Manchester store a few times and it looked like the one in Waterbury (and Stoneham) sans the "rainbow".
One grand reason why Caldor locations were heavy in Connecticut is probably because it originated in Norwalk, Connecticut. Another reason why you won't find many vacant stores is because Caldor was notorious for finding prime areas in high traffic locations most of which Wal-Mart had been eyeing for a long time. It would seem Kohl's also snatched many properties as well.

Yesturday I was down at Center Point Plaza in Warminster Pa. with my digital camera and took some pictures of the old Caldor/Ames/Burlington. It was a Caldor 1975-1999, Ames 2000-2002 and Burlington Coat Factory 2003-2005. I worked there when it was Caldor in the early ninties for about a year and a half. The buildng was a beige color when it was Caldor and Ames. Burlington painted it the way it is now.

This one wasn't nearly as trashy as the stores in Southington and New Britain. This was one of the stone pillar looking stores but I never remember this one having the rainbow. Today, it sits in the back of a vacant The Pie Plate restaurant which has probably been there before Caldor.

Can we maybe get some location details on that Philadelphia location? Also, is that road pilon still up there?! So how many Caldor stores are vacant in the state of New Jersey now?
As for the Caldor in Newington, Connecticut: there have been no real developments in about a month. The building is an absolute skeletan now. It would seem their plan is to simply keep the old skeletal structure up and build the Stew's right on the former site.
Here's what I don't get. Why do some 1980's Caldor stores use that weird orange lettering and not the rainbow that was used all the way from the later 1970s to (generally the early 90s) the day they croaked? I'm pretty sure the rainbow was used all the way through the later 1970s~1980s.
The legendary rainbow logo I created rather primitively on MS Paint...

QuoteOriginally posted by XISMZERO Can we maybe get some location details on that Philadelphia location? Also, is that road pilon still up there?! So how many Caldor stores are vacant in the state of New Jersey now?
As for the Caldor in Newington, Connecticut: there have been no real developments in about a month. The building is an absolute skeletan now. It would seem their plan is to simply keep the old skeletal structure up and build the Stew's right on the former site.
Here's what I don't get. Why do some 1980's Caldor stores use that weird orange lettering and not the rainbow that was used all the way from the later 1970s to (generally the early 90s) the day they croaked? I'm pretty sure the rainbow was used all the way through the later 1970s~1980s.
The legendary rainbow logo I created rather primitively on MS Paint...
jersey has a handfull of locations ny has one on long island all i know about that caldor is that its near woodbrige nj which is near PA the sign is sitll up i believe i wish someone could go there lol

Here's an aerial view courtesy of Google Maps of a vacant Caldor & Pergament Express plaza in East Patchogue (Long Island), New York. This store is located on the Montauk Highway/Sillis Road (101) junction and appears to be vacant to this day.
Thanks to Caldor1999 and who ever took pictures of it a few pages back. I might be going sometime this week seeing as my brother lives ten minutes away...

Yes, you're correct. I just took a slew (about 90) of pictures of the almost completely vacant Caldor/Pergament Express plaza in East Patchogue while here in Holbrook, NY just yesterday. I'm not at my home computer right now nor do I have my transfer cable (it's actually being overhauled at the moment) but when I'm back up and running in a couple days expect all the pictures to be up and viewable to you all.
So far, there's three confirmed vacancies in New York: East Patchogue, Flushing (Queens), and Middletown. I hope to visit the last two real soon.
Anyway, the plaza is a real hole... possibly one of the worst I've ever seen.

A elderly woman told me this Caldor has been vacant for 11 years. After looking at the sign (much less the building), I wasn't in doubt.

The sign still stands in the former Caldor and Pergament Express plaza. Both chains went belly up in 1999, which is when I believe they both shuttered.

Here's a view of the plaza where the sign is located (across the street). Some employees from Eckerd (the remaining, lone tenant in the long dead plaza) told me that a Lowe's (Hardware) store is slated for this lot. I doubt this is happening anytime soon...

Looking at the site in the aerial images on Google Earth, the site seems large enough for a Lowes. They would probably demolish the whole plaza and just build the Lowes as a free standing store. There is definately enough room for that.

There is a Goodwill Store in the Plaza next to the Price Chopper Supermarket I work at in Southington, CT. Today sitting behind the Goodwill Store was a Caldor Trailer. Unfortuantely since I don't bring my digital camera to work I was unable to get a picture of this relic. Previously the Goodwill Store was an Eblen's and The Price Chopper was a Big KMART. The Caldor (a rainbow one) was about a 1/4 mile further down Route 10 where Walmart is today. (On the opposite side of the street from where KMART was).

East Patchogue, Long Island / New York. This area is one of Long Island's more impoverished, ravaged areas. As you can see, this building has had many years of abuse.
Here's the side of the facade.

East Patchogue, Long Island / New York. Signature "Please Ring Bell" sign. Don't know when this store was built but my guess is mid 1970's. Closure? Not too sure, guessing mid-late 1990's when they started closing down stores, before the chain closed for good.

Wow! That picture of the Catonsville store is a real find for me as I grew up in that area and the store was part of the shopping center where I had my first job. Does anyone have any info about when the store first opened and how long the building has been there? (It looks as though it is still standing.)
:o :huh: :question:

Caldor - Middletown update.
Still all the same. Nothing at all different whatsoever. The plaza is more of a wreck now though. Auto Zone has moved, so the only thing in there now is a dentist office in the interior portion.

To tell you the truth XISMZERO, there aren't many dead malls left in this area. Dutchess Mall is gone, the old Orange Plaza is gone. There's a dead mall/plaza in Monticello, but that's about it. As for old abandoned plazas, you may be able to find a few around. I'm glad you liked the pictures.

Here's a glimpse of the former Caldor at the Auburn Mall in Auburn Mass. It's became a Filene's Men's Store (since Macy's) and the building was reportedly demolished. I remember seeing this original orange-lettering Caldor off I-90 when I was a child during my many trips to Boston.

That former Caldor store in Groton, CT you're thinking of is actually now a "Pfizer King's Heights Facility" which is essentially used for a "drug safety technology center". Someone on my website mentioned another former Caldor in Groton, said it was part of some "dead 70's plaza". I'm hoping he'll respond.
You can see a picture of what was a Caldor shopping center, now owned by Pfizer taken from this (http://www.town.groton.ct.us/town_gov/Annual%20Report%202002.pdf) very .PDF.

A few things. The tip off about the Groton, CT Caldor plaza e-mailed me back and says the other half of the plaza is still original while the other half was renovated into the Pfizer Facility. He didn't know that it had been redone. HOWEVER, he will be emailing me back soon with a photo of the other half his mother claims was part of the former Caldor.
Also. I finally got off (or right back on) my lazy butt and put my latest photos of the Caldor in East Patchogue, NY which I revisited in December 2006. The album is viewable on Yahoo. Go check it out!

That picture of the Groton Pfizer building may not be accurate. It doesn't look like that at all from the highway The plaza if you stood at the entrance was a Caldor on the left with one or two small stores in the middle and a supermarket on the other end. It still looks like that. I think the picture from the town report is mis-captioned. I will check this out next week to be sure and post pictures. This was the only Caldor in Groton.

Yes, the building is still there. Took some pics this morning. First, my idea that the Groton Town report picture was mis-captioned was incorrect. That picture shows the portion of the plaza that housed the supermarket. The Caldor building itself is totally intact. The whole plaza is fenced off so walking up to the building means hopping a fence in a very visible, high traffic area. Also spotted one security camera as well. You can take pics from the hotel next next that overlooks the property for rooftop and loading dock pictures and from the back of the bowling alley. You could also go hiking behind the building to get pics of the back of the building which I didn't do. The soda machines are still in front of the building! The lobby out doors are papered over. The old bank building (CBT?) remains on the property as well.

I was guessing the same thing but also entertained the possibility this one might've even had very different/earlier signage. I've also found it closed in the 1996 wave of closings; the first wave after Chapter 11 declaration.
Also, It appears many "orange-letter" Caldor stores took over Woolco in the early 80's. This was, to my knowledge, not a Woolco. It's an oldie, and it remains a mystery.

it kida looks a bit like this caldor which open in 1974 i dont know if this location closed in 1996 i doubt it in 1996 clador clsed most of its up state new york stores they did close some in 1998 but that was there DC stores
but your can see it has the same resecblance to the caldor you were at they have the same entrance and this caldor had the orange logo on the outside the mall entrance had teh rainbow logo but see how simaler they are i think this might have been a styal caldor used in the mid 70's

That's a good observation. However, that Caldor opened in 1974 as a Forbes & Wallace, when they went out of business a couple years later, Caldor anchored it. I'm not too sure if they added that sloped facade, but it does very much resemble the Groton store. You could be onto something here, and you're probably right about the Groton Caldor; probably had orange lettering and had it all the way up until it's death.

The Caldor trailer which was parked in the Price Chopper parking lot in Southington since November is gone! When did the get rid of it? I'm not sure. I could've sworn it was there yesterday. This morning XISMZERO picked me up at the abandoned Shaw's so we could go to the library to do some research. As we were approaching Price Chopper he asked me if the Caldor Trailer was still there. I said to him as far as I know it is. Then as we were going by he says to me where is it? I respond Holy Cow they must've finally got rid of it.

As we were approaching Price Chopper he asked me if the Caldor Trailer was still there. I said to him as far as I know it is. Then as we were going by he says to me where is it? I respond Holy Cow they must've finally got rid of it.

It's in Flushing, Queens on Roosevelt Ave. Like most of Queens, it's in a very dilapidated, dangerous area. Wal-Mart surveyed the building and almost built a store here, but they declined (or maybe the city did). Anyway, it's logo is visible off of the nearby train station.

Hi, Caldor1999. I wanted to let you know the status of 2 of the stores that were listed and their current status. I was lucky enough to see the former shopping center that housed the Catonsville store in 2005. (It used to be a great local shopping center complete with a Musicland and Pantry Pride where I spent alot of money in the 60's and even worked my first job in 1970.) Sometime in the past few years, the entire plaza was razed and the Caldor (along with everything else including the outdoor skating rink) is now history. In its place now lies a brand center with a Costco and one of the office supply stores. You'd have had to live in the area to even know that it was ever there.
The store that used to be part of Golden Ring Mall is long gone as that mall was also razed and turned into some other type of shopping center. (If you happen to see the artice on deadmalls.com, you'll see the odd history that the mall had in it's heydays of the 70's and early 80's.)

I found this searching the web for old retail pics, judging by the songs on the list I'd say it's from around 1980. I can fondly remember the Caldor record department, they had a counter in the center and they would usually have lists like this available. I even rember the toy department having its own counter and register at one time. I'll have to look for the source of this image.

Here's a former, age-old former Caldor in Manchester, CT on the Tolland Turnpike. You can tell it was one because of the brick pillars on each side of entrance way.
It's had a long rebranded recent history; became Ames (as we all know), then an "Outlet Marketplace" now something called a "VF Outlet" which stands for Vanity Fair Outlet. I remember peeking inside when it was vacant as an Ames.

The former Caldor in Greenwich was two-floors and is actually in a smaller neighboring town, Riverside. SiteRide also leads one to believe it's been subdivided into a World's Gym and Walgreens.
The former Caldor in Stamford, a town over, was also two-levels! It's now a Burlington Coat Factory.

so, i was looking on the us patent office website for info on caldor. What i found out is that the word mark is dead. It was cancelled as of 5/2003. Does that mean that it is free for someone to come along and reapply for the trademark and then start using it again? I mean, I don't know anything about this stuff, but I'm thinking it is conceivable that someone could actually open a store and name it Caldor. At least, that's my interpretation of what I saw on the site. It's an interesting thought

Post by: arnoldziffel on November 28, 2007, 08:47:48 PM
Let's assume that all the patents and trademarks that were owned by Caldor were available to be used today. You have the money, and the ability to open a new discount store and build it into a mighty chain of 400+ stores. Which Caldor logo and slogans would you resurrect and put into use today? Would you use the Caldor Rainbow or would you go for the red and white logo that caldor screamed into the 90's with? What slogan would you use? For me, I'd probably go with "caldor, your everyday discount store." I actually have a recording of the old caldor song with that slogan in it. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it. But I know it's somewhere in my house. Does anyone happen to have that online?

I am a newly registered member of these forums. I am a long time reader though. I finally decided to register and post. Anyway, as i said in an earlier post, I have a tape of the caldor theme music from the early 90's. My brother worked there and he copied it from the music on hold or in-store sound system. I am going to post the 1st verse as I remember it. i will post what i can remember from the 2nd verse, if anyone knows the rest, please post it. also feel free to correct me if i am wrong with any of them
We're working hard at Caldor, Every day and every way. much more than your looking for at caldor every day!
We give you low-low prices [i am drawing a blank on the rest of the verse, i knew it, but for some reason it escapes me now]
3rd verse (i think)
then the song ended with the line:
"At caldor, your everyday discount store"

Thank you for the Caldor store list. I learned a lot. Was the furniture mart part of Caldor or a leased department? I am most familiar with the Hamden, CT Caldor, having gone to it from 1979 to when all the remaning stores closed. It was interesting that Kohl's was announced as a replacement when the store was still open. That Caldor had a reddish brick/rainbow/columns design since I started going there up to 1995, when a major remodel was done on the exterior (gray paint, new entrance, red/white sign). (I heard that it previously looked like the Manchester store in the 1966 photo shown in a earlier post). However the inside of the store had 4 different looks during that period (rainbow to brownish to different colored walls to white/red/gray). I never remember a furniture mart there. When did they close? The Hamden Caldor also featured a pharmacy (not many Caldors had them) and for a few years a clearance center which was a separate store next door.
I have a correction to make on the store list: the Branford Wal-Mart was never a Caldor. Instead, the Branford Caldor was located at the Branhaven Plaza, West Main St., and is now a Kohl's.

Thanks for the correction. I couldn't find next to anything on the Branford store. I do know there's a plaza across the street from Wal-Mart in Branford that had some supermarket (JM Fields?) that recently burned down.

I took a ride down to Caldor-East Patchogue the other night. It's Official, there are 2 signs on the corner of the property stating that Lowe's is coming soon. I took a pic, but it was night, and they didnt come out well. There is 1 store open in the center currently. It's a Rite-Aid (formerly Eckerds, formerly Genovese Drug Stores) The rite aid is having a store closing sale. So, I would say the demo will probably start in February. Funny thing, the vision center next to Caldor still has stuff inside. Racks and maybe some signs. Hopefully I will have time to take pics before It's wrecked. Actually, maybe Xismero already took pics of the vision center. Next to the vision center is where the Pergament Express was for a year or 2. But before pergament, King Kullen had a store there. I wonder if lowes will be the single occupant there or if they will have another store in the center. the parking lot is pretty big, so there is room.

Post by: XISMZERO on December 15, 2007, 08:45:09 PM
Lowe's will be taking the entire lot.
When I was there when it was an Eckerd; my brother and I were questioned by the staffers on a smoke break who thought it was odd of me to be taking pictures of the lot. What they didn't realize is that vacant Caldor stores are very rare. I've got two photo sets of the plaza and yes, that eyeglass place is vacant and has probably been there since the 70s (and has the signage to show). I can't believe it's still pending demolition - I was there last December 2006 and thought it only had a few months left.
Additionally, that Caldor was once a Grants (believe it became Caldor in '76 when Grants went belly up and Caldor purchased many of their properties) and the Eckerd was originally a Genovese Drugs (an old, defunct pharmacy chain with stores in the Northeast).

did it go straight from grants to caldor? I thought Woolco was after grants but before caldor. But, that location i am not sure of. I can ask a friend i know who lives down there. Also, eckards bought out all the genovese stores. The property has been graffiti'd up since your pics i think. I might head down there today. I have to go christmas shopping, so maybe i will take a few shots.

Vacant Caldor/Bradlees found in HAMILTON, NJ.
It was used by Bradlees for a year after Caldor closed (hence the red stripes)! It's could be still vacant.

It was used by Bradlees shortly after Caldor closed. It appears as a location on their store locator in 2000.

Wow, Dan excellent find! Why do you think it's going to be knocked down soon? Was there a realtor sign hinting at what it might become? I want to go see it myself.
Also, this Caldor was a Woolco.
I found it on Google Maps; it's just south of Camden near the Jersey Pike on Moore St & Mantua Pike / Rt. 45.
Don't be so worried about taking pictures. I've taken a ton and in many different settings vacant and alive. I have never had any trouble with police in that instance. Most of the time, they may question you, but won't do anything beyond that.

Hey Guys... I'm not sure if anybody is interested, but I work at a party store (party stop) across the street from a former caldor in Brookfield, CT now kohls. When Caldor went out our store purchased a large amount of fixtures including the large top part of the carousel fixture that many newer caldors featured in their front lobbies. As to my best knowlege our store owner is still trying to sell it to make space. This thing is huge. If anybody is interested I could get more information from my manager.

The Stamford, CT Caldor was unique among the chain for being in the middle of a downtown area and having a built-in parking garage. Also, the pharmacy was set off from the rest of the store, and had its own entrance on the side of the building.
The store was remodeled in the early 90s, updating the color scheme to the newer red and gray and adding a Nathan's snack bar.
The elevator connecting all four floors (two levels of shopping, two levels of parking) was dark, rusty and often out of order.
The Greenwich (Riverside) Caldor was actually closer to my home, but it was small and understocked, so we usually avoided it.

Caldor in Clifton Park, NY used to have a Caldor rainbow sign on the front of the mall. It was on the malls structure at the main entrance. The sign where the entrance was, was no where near the Caldor in the mall. What is interesting about it is that Caldor's didn't go in until 1984 or 85. I thought by that time the rainbow was done away with. That sign was up for a long time until a Boscovs sign replaced it.

Also, that road sign in Northampton gives us a good idea of what some of the signs looked like -- I just saw the Northampton store, now a Walmart, a couple weeks back.

yea i know i always get that one mixed up with the one by the south hills mall but yea im guessing they used that style on a few of there stores and it seems that the orange lettering was used in the early 80's as well and the Northampton store has the frist logo on the road sign i hope i can find more pictures soon maby even try to find ones of caldors that were around me

Right, exactly...that's why I never came across them. Really a shame, as it looks like they were quite a nice chain.

Those are some great videos. I wish more people had had the sense to do those types of things. That was seriously jawdropping that those videos even existed
I'm in the same boat as you. I always lived in New Hampshire and Vermont so I always went to Ames, Bradlees, and Rich's, my only memory of Caldor's is the Torrington, CT one when I'd visit my grandparents.

What do you mean by "still standing"? Do you mean that no alteration whatsoever was done to the building? For me "still standing" would mean that most of the building was not torn down.

Wow. That long already? Not wanting to look back through 54 pages of postings, can we start posting how long our local Caldor was empty before something else moved in?
Southington, CT - Southington was a Rainbow Style Caldor right up until the end. Walmart opened in April 2000. Walmart is now under-going a massive remodel.
Bristol, CT was empty until October 99 when BIG KMART opened. BIG KMART closed in March 02 (along with the BIG MART in Southington). Both the Bristol Caldor and Southington Big Kmart are now Price Chopper Supermarkets.
New Britain, CT was a Rainbow Style Caldor right up to the end and was empty until 2003? when Walmart moved from a larger location on Slater Road. Walmart will be closing its doors for good on August 31.

The Caldor in Bedford, NH was torn down in 2003 to make way for a Stop & Shop. Part of the original shopping center still stands today. The Home Goods store moved it's entrance and windows from the front "facing the road" to the right facing Stop & Shop. This Caldor had the best exterior with huge arches on the front of the building. Those arches once housed the J.M. Fields letters. Caldors spent some money on renovations including moving the main entrance from the left of the arches to directly beneath them with a large windowed lobby.

The former Caldor in Newington, (a newer 90s style Caldor which opened in 1994) given much publicity on this site, is of course now Stew Leonards. It opened in May, 2007. The Caldor was vacant from 1999-2006 until a complete gutting of the store took place to make way for Stew's. SL now shares space with Sleepy's who occupied unused space on the southwest corner of the building earlier this year.
In the same plaza, Newington Fair, which was just about dead two years ago, is now thriving with a new Sam's Club built from the ground up and opened a few weeks ago. LA Fitness opened in the same plaza as well and Toys 'r' Us remains where it has been since 1996. This plaza surely lives up to it's name these days.
The Caldor in Rocky Hill (a rainbow store) became Wal-Mart shortly after Caldor closed. The Caldor in West Hartford/Elmwood (another rainbow store) became Ames very shortly after Caldor closed. Then Ames closed in 2002 and the building sat to deteriorate until it was revitilized in 2008 and became Price Rite that Spring.

They sure are. The only reason I didn't mention those 3 with mine is I was too tired to remember them. Once I got some sleep I remember those 3 later on. The one in Avon became Walmart too. The Avon and Rocky Hill Walmarts got remodeled last year.

Some more history updates
PA Caldor locations
Caldor Store, Fairless Hills, PA -- now Big Lots (from Live Maps)
MD Caldor locations Caldor Store, (Golden Ring Mall) Baltimore, MD---------now a wal mart/home depot wards still vacant though -- as was said earlier, the entire Golden Ring Mall complex was demolished, and I think even Monkey Wards was demolished
Caldor Store, (Reistertown Road Plaza) Baltimore, MD-----------Possbley still vacant -- became Ames, then National Wholesale Liquidators...not sure what it is now
Caldor Store, Catonsville, MD-----------------------Possbley still vacant -- apparently gone and replaced according to a previous post. Incidentally, that Caldor was a replacement store for another Caldor (two stories with the rainbow logo) just down the street (that was demolished ages ago and replaced with a Lowes). This "more recent" store was a Korvettes in a previous life (to my knowledge), and became a Kmart after Caldor went under. Kmart closed this location due to poor sales, and (I think) a very high incidence of shoplifting.
Caldor Store, Ellicott City, MD-----------------------Now Home Depot -- old Caldor was demolished
DE Caldor Locations Caldor Store, Newark, DE -----------------------Now A Bj's ... incidentally was originally a Kmart. They moved out and moved up the road when Bradlee's vacated another building.
Caldor Store (Price's Corner), Wilmington, DE---------------- possibly Kohls .... nope, Walmart. Kmart was first to take over after Caldor bailed, that store didn't last long.
Caldor Store ((Miller Road Commons), Wilmington, DE---possbley still vacant ... Home Depot now. Became an Ames and a dollar store after Caldor bailed.

I actually used to live in Northampton, MA, so I recognize a lot of the spots shown in this video, and the little kid's grandmother and uncle are brilliant. This video showcases the family's trip to the Northampton Caldor (now a Wal-Mart) back in the fall of 1990. It's a real gem. Enjoy!

Caldor colors were red, grey, black and white. Although the black was mainly in the carts and baskets.... The Bedford, NH store was renovated in the 90's with those colors.

VERY nice picture, being from the NH and working in that area for awhile I immediately noticed the Hilltop Steakhouse giant cactus sign just south of the former Caldor on the left side of route 1.

I believe prior to that the Shaw's/Star was a Purity Supreme supermarket. This particular Caldor was the one I most frequented when i was a kid. Also in that strip on the far right was a weird men's clothing store that I don't think I ever set foot in and maybe on other small store, all since absorbed by the Target.

i wonder if they redid the inside cause caldor wouldn't normally slap a new logo on a store without fixing it up my caldor was old but they redid the entire store and put up a new logo the outside was kinda old though cant believe Wal(sprawl)mart snatched it up so fast kinda sad the sight could have been used for something much better

I know Caldor went out 11 yeras ago, but what really killed it (Well it went bankrupt but why didnt they get out). I heard through google news that 30 years ago they were going to build one in Nashua, , I never found out why but it fell through!

probably was too costly they were gonna open up another store in VA in the mid 90's but it would have drained them so they backed out im sure they did the same with that

I am sure competition, overspending and falling sales are what contributed to their downfall.

yah probably but I still wonder why the Nashua store FELL THROUGH. and what do you think was the last straw? I Also heard that their creditors wouldn't agree to a liquidation plan and why was that?
Title: Re: Caldor
Post by: amesman on March 25, 2010, 11:10:03 PM
Store proposals fall through for a number of reasons. Community opposition, corporate decisions, zoning laws, a number of things.
I am sure the final straw was falling sales due to strict competition and not being able to make up their losses. And I wouldn't know why they couldn't come to agreements in the bankruptcy proceedings. These things just happen I guess.

but what do you think made NAshua's fall through, I mean it looked like it was on its way to being built and this was 30 years ago.
are you surprised Caldor never made it?

I don't know the exact reasoning behind it. Like I said, that happens for a number of reasons. I wouldn't have any way of knowing.
And looking back, no I am not surprised Caldor didn't make it. They had a lot of corporate/money related problems towards the end. That and competition from Wal-Mart and other big box stores put the nail in the coffin so to speak.

Yeah. I'm in there quite often, was just in there today, and most of the interior has been changed -- but the customer service desk looks quite 80s/90s-ish and doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the store. Could be wrong.

An interesting coincidence happened within the past week, having to do with Caldor.
For some odd reason, I had a strange dream that I was working inside an 80s Caldor store. It was unusually detailed and rational for a dream, but I really didn't think much of it.
Last week I went to Charleston (capitol city of WV), for their weekly flee market, and noticed that the indoor portion provided shopping carts for customers. They were Caldor carts, brown with the orange logo. I thought that was really strange. Since, to my knowledge, there were no Caldor stores in or near WV.

The only stores in the Philadelphia area that used the front awing design with the sloped section over the doorway wasn't Caldor, but Lit Brothers in Plymouth Meeting, PA and Voorhees, NJ. I wionder if both Caldor and City Stores (owners of Lit Brothers) used the same building designers.

Baltimore, Maryland - Severna Park Mall - Transformation of Woolco to Caldor in early 1983/School shopping September 1983 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/CorporateA/more/sept1983baltimorecaldor3.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/CorporateA/more/sept1983baltimorecaldor2.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/CorporateA/more/sept1983baltimorecaldor.jpg)
Here is the entrance facing out showing more of the mall in Baltimore, Maryland - Severna Park Mall - June 1983 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/CorporateA/tyler/1983_Baltimore_Caldor.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/CorporateA/tyler/1983_Baltimore_Caldor2.jpg)
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severna_Park_Mall Severna Park Mall opened as a small, local mall in 1975; originally, its anchor stores included Grant City and Giant Foods.[citation needed] The Grant City store was short-lived, with Woolco taking its place after one year; after Woolco's closure in 1982, this space was occupied by Caldor.[citation needed]
However, as with most smaller regional malls, Severna Park started to decline. Caldor closed in September 1989 after failing to reach a lease agreement with the mall's management, re-opened in October 1991, but closed for good when the entire chain liquidated in 1999. After being mainly an empty mall in the 1990s, Severna Park was largely demolished; only the former Caldor building remained, with Kohl's moving into this building shortly afterward. The rest of the mall was replaced with a strip mall known as Severna Park Marketplace, which featured a new Giant supermarket, as well as several big box tenants

Oh, you mean Autumnfest parade line up rest room central? :) :) One benefit to having the rest rooms in the lobby area.
The Caldor in Bristol, CT had their restrooms in the lobby. When KMART gutted the building after Caldor closed they put the restrooms in the middle of the far right wall. When Price Chopper gutted the building they moved them again and now they're in the food court at the left side of the store. If Price Chopper had left the restrooms where KMART put them they would be in the middle of the Diary Department.

Anyone want to buy a Caldor Building? The one in New Britain, Connecticut is still empty 4 years after Walmart closed due to an overwhelming amount of employee theft. It can be yours for the low low price of $2.9 Million. It also includes a free-standing vacant bank. The Caldor/Walmart Building is approximately 84,000 Square Feet and the vacant bank is around 2,400 Square Feet. The property is reportedly 9 acres and is a mile or 2 from I-84 Exit 37.

I am surprised that Wal*Mart even moved into this former Caldor Store to begin with. In my area Wal*Mart demolished this former Clarkin's Carousel, Gold Circle, Hills, & Ames Department Store building just to build a new store. It broke my heart to see Wal*Mart have this building demolished in my area. It was the #1 former Gold Circle Department Store and the #1 former Hills Department Store that my mother took me to shop at while growing up as a little boy back in the 1980's/90's while at the same time was my all time favorite store to shop at with my mother as well as my local Kmart Store.

Walmart had no choice to move into the old Caldor. In 1997 Walmart opened in the former Price Club building on Slater Road in New Britain. When Caldor on Farmington Avenue closed after Caldor closed all its stores Walmart bought the lease and was using the store for a warehouse and had numerous trailers kept on the property. People who lived in the Farmington Avenue area complained to the city that the property wasn't being kept up, etc, etc, etc. Lucian Pawlak who was Mayor of New Britain at the time gave Walmart an ultimatum - open a store in the Caldor Building or sell it. Walmart didn't want to sell it and risk the possibility of a competitor moving into it. In 03 or 04 Walmart moved from the 115,000 Square Foot Price Club Building to the tiny 84,000 Square Foot Caldor Building. I really believe if Walmart had remained on Slater Road it would still be open today. The Shrink wasn't as high there. Plus they would've been able to put in a large grocery section. Not being allowed to put in a larger grocery section and no room to expand the building were the other 2 reasons they closed in 2009. The city of New Britain forbade them from putting in a grocery section because they have an ordinance that 2 grocery stores can not be located side by side. In an adjacent, separately owned plaza there was an Adam's Superfood Store, which is now Aldis. That ordinance is also probably another reason they can't sell the building besides the high taxes in New Britain. A lot of people would like Shoprite to open a supermarket there (or the former Shaw's Supermarket on West Main Street). Today the old Price Club Building on Slater Road is owned by Webster Bank a bank based out of Waterbury, Connecticut and uses it for some sort of corporate training center complete with a company cafeteria.

Yes and til the day that Caldor closed it sported the look seen in the picture of the Caldor on the previous page.

It was. I liked them better than Bradlee's. One of the Caldor's problems was they couldn't decided what type of store they wanted to be. Sometimes they were a lower-class store. Sometimes they were higher-class. Sometimes they sold some frozen food. Sometimes they didn't.

Thanks, I knew that was a Hudson River bridge but I don't know them well. It seems other parts of the movie might be shot in Harrison as they show a school with a "Harrison College" sign. I think they added the sign for the movie and it may well be Harrison High School.

What's weird is that even though a number of former Caldor (and Bradlees) stores already became Walmart 10-13 years ago, Walmart just now is building a store on the former Caldor/Bradlees site in Trenton NJ, along with the former ShopRite and Drug Emporium stores next door. Also, the former Drug Emporium in Norristown PA (in a way a Trenton suburb) is in the process of becoming a Staples, even though what used to be the Drug Emporium in nearby Malvern PA already became a Staples back in 2004. The Norristown site was a "Horsatack" equestrian supply store for a number of years in between though.

Hey MikeRa, I would really appreciate if either you, EddieJ1984, or MBZ321 (all of whom live in the Northeast Philly area) could take a better picture of this store at Franklin Mills for me: http://mowheela.typepad.com/photos/stores/franklin-mills.html
Also, it might be illegal (though not really for any good reason at all) but I would really like to see an interior photo or two of this store. Someone told me it was HUGE for a state store and this was not that long ago. But I'm never up around Franklin Mills so I would appreciate photos to give me an idea of the true size.

After a 5 or 6 year run as a Walmart, the former Caldor in New Britain, Connecticut remains 100% empty 4 1/2 years after Walmart called it quits in that location. The entire property which also includes a former free-standing bank branch is for sale for $2.9 million.
The former Caldor in Waterbury is 2/3's vacant. Not too long ago it was completely full. It was divided into a Jump Zone (an indoor bounce house), Bernie's, and Planet Fitness. Bernie's closed in 2010 when the whole chain went under. And Jump Zone closed last spring.

The Home Depot is now on the site of the former Caldor in Parkville, Maryland. It kills me that Home Depot decided to move the main entrance to the building to the opposite end from the Caldor entrance, but continue to use the Caldor entrance as a secondary entrance. They should have at least gotten rid of the Caldor facade (still instantly recognizable) to make the building look finished after the renovations. I guess part of the decision not to use the Caldor entrance had to do with the fact that the Home Depot name is too long to fit the Caldor facade without shrinking the letters too much?

There were seven stores with this general design: 25 (New Britain), 26 (Derby), 27 (Saugus), 28 (Southington), 29 (West Hartford), 30 (Ramapo), and 31 (Nanuet). All were opened between late 1972 and early 1974.

I don't believe any of the stores here in the Albany area had pharmacies either. We did have at least one with Nathan's, though.
Actually, looking closer at the picture, is it possible that the pharmacy is a separate store? There looks to be some kind of name to the left of the word pharmacy, plus the awning with what look like doors under it, which make it look like another store.

Waterbury CT looks like this was taken shortly after it closed seeing as how the lights are still on (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e232/CharmedOne9805/10294435_1406653946277600_6197985297862295592_n_zps376ce0ef.jpg) (http://s40.photobucket.com/user/CharmedOne9805/media/10294435_1406653946277600_6197985297862295592_n_zps376ce0ef.jpg.html)

4 years ago this Caldor in Waterbury ^ was 100% occupied. Today it's only 1/3 occupied. In 2010 it was Jump Zone, a relocated Bernie's (previously they were in KMART Plaza where Modell's is now), and Planet Fitness. Bernie's closed all their locations by March 2010. Jump Zone closed early in 2013.

Looks like perhaps at one point it was a combination of offices and warehouse for them (maybe in the earlier days when the company would have been smaller and needed less space overall)? Only because that looks a lot like a loading dock with what would have been overhead doors at one point.

An interesting question was posed on the Facebook page for "Dead and Dying Retail": apparently there were 16 Caldor stores that later became Kmarts. These are the ones I have found references to:
Catonsville, MD Bristol, CT West Orange, NJ Yorktown Heights, NY Wilmington, DE Pelham Manor, NY Bridgehampton, NY Glen Oaks, NY Mahopac, NY Middle Village, NY White Plains, NY Brighton, MA Salem, MA Lawrence, NY
That leaves two more, likely in the northeastern US...anyone have a clue as to where they may be?

Not sure, but I can tell you that the one in Bristol, Connecticut only last 3 1/2 years as KMART! They opened during the Summer of 1999 and closed in early 2003. They opened as Price Chopper in January 2004.

The other two were in the Philadelphia area, one within the city limits at 101 E. Olney Ave, and the other in Wyncote at 1000 Easton Rd. Both closed in 2002; the Olney store is now a Conway, and the Wyncote store is a Walmart.

Pfizer sold the Caldor Plaza in Groton CT, over to EB. Once that happened, the plaza dropped security; So got to explore the old Caldor plaza, and it is frozen in time (except for the newly remodeled Shoprite); Very little change the inside walkway; A lot of the same things on the outside, including some nifty surprises in the back. Been to the plaza now about 7 times (In the last couple weeks) to grab pictures of it, and so has Nicholas of Caldor Rainbow. Pictures are on his flickr, and I'll be sure to upload all of mine.
Yesterday, I noticed a change; EB started construction on the inside; So doors were open; Began taking pictures of the outside until I was actually invited inside by one of the workers, just for a sneak peak. Made the mistake of taking pictures on the inside because I was then approached by construction management, asking what I was doing, and that its EB property and that I need to delete only the inside pictures, I can keep the outside. Let me tell you, the inside was a bit odd, just think of a Warehouse that contains elements of an aged Caldor!
Title: Re: Caldor
Post by: Whoser on August 05, 2015, 05:44:39 PM
EB is a Electric Boat over in Groton, all confidential with them. Although, there wasn't very much going on inside except for just some construction! Oddly enough the manager was actually understanding when I explained to him.
Man, first time I got on to that plaza a few weeks back it was such a rush! Taking pictures of everything! (Including the Former Outparcel Bank); and just had to tell Nick of Caldor Rainbow about it!

They want to turn the old Shaw's in New Britain into some kind of storage facility. >:( - A different type of storage facility than the one just down the street from the old Shaw's.
As for the Chung Property in Plainville I hear a Goodwill Store is going to be part of the new development. :(

Is there a list somewhere of Caldor locations that are still vacant?
I know in Waterbury, CT the old Caldor is vacant except for a 25,000 Square Foot Planet Fitness. Bernie's relocated to this plaza and remains vacant since that chain's demise in 2010. There was also a Jump Zone next to Bernie's and they closed in 2013 and 2014.
In New Britain, CT Caldor became Walmart in 02 or 03 and they closed in 09. They're going to become a storage facility.
In Derby, CT Walmart in the former Caldor closed in 2016.

May also be that (in many places) there are no vacant stores left, having been such a long time that they've either been re-occupied or removed for other things.
That would be the case for any I can think of here in the (greater) Albany NY area - several demolished and replaced by other stores, a couple others re-occupied by another store (or stores). Also for a couple I know of elsewhere (Poughkeepsie NY and one in Woodbridge NJ, both demolished and replaced by supermarkets).
There are probably a handful more vacant stores when it comes to Ames only due to some of their locations being in smaller towns (where nothing else is interested in going) and being a couple years later, but even those are getting to be a limited number.

Do you think locations I mentioned such as New Britain, Derby, and Waterbury count as being vacant Caldor locations since the Walmart's that were located in New Britain and Derby and the Bernie's/Jump Zone in Waterbury have since closed?
18 years this year for Caldor. 17 years this year for Bradlees. 15 years this year for Ames.
It's crazy it's been so long. Being a guy in his 30s I remember these closings well. Caldor and Bradlees were both in my hometown growing up. Ames was in the town where I live now. They close the year before. I wanted Bradlees to be my first job. I applied there 2 weeks before I turned 16 and never heard from them, so when they closed you bet I did a happy dance. I applied at Bradlees even though I preferred Caldor because Bradlees was closer and I didn't have a license. That way my parents wouldn't have to travel as far.

The last 2 were in Middletown NY not too sure if there is any of it still left and there was one in Queens that became an asian mall. Closest you will get to seeing a closed one if the 3 Kmarts near me closed. All of them were former caldors and still retain most of the look to this day.

Nothing much to add here. My nearest Caldor, and the only one I ever went to, was located at the Swansea Mall in Swansea, MA. It became a Wal-Mart and when the Wal-Mart moved out and had a stand-alone location built behind the mall, the former Caldor portion was demolished some time around 2014, I believe. The mall itself closed in the spring of 2019.
The only thing I have left of a Caldor is an animatronic angel Christmas tree topper that belongs to my parents and still works today. They still have the original box with the price tag that I think has it priced at $39.99. I'm not sure exactly when the purchase was made but I'm guessing some time between 1986-89 No sooner or later than that. So, its nice to still have a little piece of Caldor history and an old piece of technology that still works as well today as it did when it was new.
Title: Caldor auto center

I found this newspaper proving that caldor had an auto center at one point:

Here's the newspaper: https://www.newspapers.com/image/?clipping_id=19587402&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjgwMTM1ODM3LCJpYXQiOjE1ODc5MjgzNDcsImV4cCI6MTU4ODAxNDc0N30.BTqQ_pYLe8z0DMsLA-NCMbuIc9-WhRxV8w_Zux_8tqs
Interesting. If you do Google mapping for 400 Old Neighborhood Road, Kingston, NY 12401 you can see the plaza. The Caldor was the building straight back from the road (shown as Burlington when the map was done). The Staples/JoAnn I have heard was a Waldbaum's store (pre A&P ownership). I think the building to the left is small shops, but there was for many years a Midas in the front (now a grassy/overgrown area, just behind the Bank of America), so that may have been where it was as a freestanding building, or perhaps it was attached in one of the spots that is now storefront (Dollar Tree on one end or the red awning to the left of Burlington)?
I only remember seeing it later on, so wherever it was they had gotten out of that in their later years (90's).
Also to wonder if it was from the store being something else (though this was quite far back, so maybe not), like our Ames in Hudson had an auto area that may have been from it's time as Barkers (the Kings in between didn't use it, and Ames eventually leased it to a local person to run - now it's a Planet Fitness) as I don't know that there was anything prior to that chain in there.

Cool I didn't know barkers had auto centers

Caldor is referenced in James Rolfe's "Cinemassacre Video" YouTube videos as being located at the Voorhees Memorial Shopping Center. The Caldor in the video looks like a former Child World store...

Looks like the Kingston Caldor has a new tenant after Burlington Coat Factory left.
Sort of surprising that they didn't have a store in that area already, but a good thing to fill the space.
Edit - I see they are only taking about 1/2 the space - maybe someone can convince Ocean State to go into the rest and make Kingston the bargains zone (given that Ollie's is, or at least it was, just across the road behind Walmart)?

As sterile and as dull as Big Lots is, that is a rather dumb proposal. The whole thing is the retail equivalent of musical chairs: Barnes & Nobles moving to a former Olive Garden in the mall, Burlington moving out of the Caldor and into the old B&N - it's rather hilarious. Though I do wonder if there are other major vacancies for Dirty Ol' Job Lot to move into...

Did Caldor have gas stations?
I read 2 claims about a Caldor gas station in the past
Did any store even have gas stations?
If they did which stores had them?

I also found a newspaper ad for a Caldor "Clearance Center" In Paramus, NJ
https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/497118723/
I'm not sure if this is like a Caldor outlet store or just a discounted section / Aisle inside of Caldor
The store in Paramus was an original Caldor store. I dont know if it downgraded to a "clearance center" or if that was added to the store as a later addition

Good question, though it seems it would make sense that it was a totally separate store that they would use for clearing out items from other places.
Thinking it would be logical in that area, given it is a large retail area (thus a large volume of people to check it out and pick up whatever they wanted to get rid of) and its proximity to NYC and the amount of people that tend to go there to shop from the city (some of whom may not have been close to other Caldor locations and thus not seen the items in their "regular" settings).

My local Caldor in Hamden, CT had a clearance center in the late 1990s in a former supermarket space next to it.

Saugus, MA (building originally started out as GEM)
Paramus, NJ (Store closed in '99, Pharmacy closed in '93, prescriptions transfered to CVS)
Kingston, NY (Store closed in '99, Unknown when the pharmacy closed)
Poughkeepsie, NY (Store opened in '73, Pharmacy closed in '78)
Peekskill, NY (Advertised as of 1977)
Bedford Hills, NY (Advertised as of 1977)
Yorktown Heights, NY (Advertised as of 1977)
Norwalk, CT [Main Ave] (Advertised as of 1987)
[Edit] Hamden, CT (Unknown when Pharmacy closed)
Caldor Clearance Centers:
Hamden, CT (Opened in a separate building next to a regular Caldor store, same store as the Pharmacy)
Paramus, NJ (Unknown if in a separate building, same store as the Pharmacy)
Caldor Auto Centers:
Peekskill, NY (Advertised as of 1972, same store as the pharmacy)
Bedford Hills, NY (Advertised as of 1972, same store as the pharmacy)
Northampton, MA (Store opened 1966)
Kingston, NY (same store as pharmacy)
Caldor Gas Stations: ???? (Heard 1 or 2 claims about it in passing, unknown / unconfirmed if true)
I don't remember a Caldor having a pharmacy (or an auto center), so perhaps all of those NY Pharmacies closed around the same time as the one that is listed?
The auto part could make sense in Kingston - there was for quite some time a Midas in a building on that same property, so it is possible that was originally the Caldor auto space and that it wasn't attached to the main store (as other chains often did both ways - Sears locally had separate ones, Wards had both in different spots, the Kmart ones and apparently Barkers had them attached that I know of).

I was searching for some old Caldor commercials on YouTube and I found this video from 1998 where Big Bird (yes, from Sesame Street) gets lost inside of a 90's era Caldor, though its branded as "ABCD Mart"
https://youtu.be/xsO10VF6sqA
It has a lot of good, high quality, interior footage of a 90's era Caldor
It was a direct to video episode of Sesame Street, filmed inside of a Caldor store, for some reason

Good question - can't say we ever got any of them in this area, but then again it kind of makes sense that they wouldn't have a whole lot of them, so probably would stick to the larger areas and consolidate items from other stores there. Particularly back at that point, as there were fewer other things to do with items - no online option, fewer of the stores that focused specifically on close outs and such. Perhaps, the chains just found it easier to do this than having a small section of clearance items at each location like you see now in many Target or Walmart stores (either a particular aisle or with Target at the ends of various aisles).

During the pandemic and lockdowns, I was bored, since I was furlough for 4 months and create the Caldor store list.
I worked with a ton of former candor employees, from their Facebook groups and read a ton of article from newspaper archives. Those former Caldor employees were a great help.
