QuoteThis is my photo, I uploaded it to Flickr in October 2008. It is in Williamstown, NJ, not PA.  

My bad.

Jamesway took over many locations from Woolco, and they bought out an entire chain of stores called Weston's in the 1980s. They also took over one former J.W. Mays store. Other than that, the majority of Jamesway stores were built new.  

We had a Westons in Painted Post, NY that closed and became a Murphy Mart, then Ames.

Jamesway also took over certain Two Guys and King's stores.

Right, like how they took over the Two Guys store in Vineland, NJ, which is sadly now knocked down with a [huge surprise here] Wal-Mart Supercenter in its place.

This one in Dunmore, PA is a former W.T. Grant and later King's (which closed in 1984). The Jamesway closed with the rest of the chain in 1995, then became Big Lots in 1997.

Sounds cool! Have an address or other info?

The road that it would be on would be NYS Rt. 14 Between Watkins Glen and the Next town South of it, which on the map is Montour Falls. The store may have been a bit farther south than Montour Falls. I remember having to stop there at that parking lot of the Jamesway, probably to turn around.

I looked up ''Montour Falls Jamesway'' on Google and found that is no longer vacant. In fact, it has been a medical facility since 1999. It just looks vacant on the outside.

I like Wal-Mart but I thought it was totally unnecessary to build one within 5 miles of the existing Millville location as well as over 5 supermarkets. I wish the Jamesway/Rickel plaza stayed up at least a little while longer so I could've get pics of it.

videogamer75

There are some still-vacant Jamesways out west in PA, but that's too far for me to go.

patk

Here's another picture I took of the former Jamesway in Williamstown, NJ. Castleford Tailors has moved out, and the building is now vacant again.

does anyone have any old slogans of jamesway?

we care (80's?)

videogamer75

The full slogan was ''We care about you...the James-way'' there is even a commercial on YouTube where you can hear it.  Search up ''WCAU Commercials Jamesway'' in the search bar

videogamer75

According to an article I read online, Jamesway's former corporate headquarters in Secaucus, NJ is now owned by Major League Baseball and serves as a studio for The MLB Network.

Here is a site packed with over eight pages of old Jamesway pictures from back in 1978!! :tumble:

They probably did renovate it. I think the site said it was somewhere in New York. Also, there's a video on YouTube that shows the inside of the Somers Point, NJ Jamesway back in 1991.

They obviously weren't using those old NCR mechanical cash registers in more recent years :)

Sorry, I was thinking of something else. I don't know what happened to the one in Somers Point.
