Here is my collection of Bradlees bags at this point, they are all different from each other.
Also found these sealed items from decades ago with Bradlees stickers in my grandmas storage locker

I am about 5 or so years late, but here are some photos that I shot at the then-vacant Bradlees on Park Street in Hartford. This was during the construction of the new plaza, and the workers were very nice and they allowed me access to the interior of the store, I also peeled off and took home a door decal, "IN Welcome To Bradlees". Enjoy these photos, and a slimmer me.

I am surprsied the inside is modern. its a smaller store and I recall that store along w some others were in the brochusre as some items not available.

That stark-white wall on the one side leads me to believe that it was in the process of being subdivided. That's what our old Super Kmart looked like when Litehouse annexed the Garden Center area and Bargain Warehouse never bothered to do anything to the rest of the building when they moved in.

There must be a "temporal anomaly" around that area of Massachusetts.

I don't think that'll be found anytime soon.

Hazlet NJ still standing. I moved back to Jersey a year ago and drive past it all the time. I tried to upload the pics I took last year but it says the files are too large. But it looks the same from the last time I posted about it, just a bit more weathered.

[DefunctStoreKing]

what does the out sign look like on the door?

[patk]

 here it is! Hazlet NJ https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4352407,-74.1784451,68m/data google thinks its still open lol

[Amesguy2000]

Can you still see the inside of the Hazlet one?

I saw these Christmas dishes from Bradlees at Consignment Originals on Route 10 in Cheshire, Connecticut yesterday.

I found this in my local obituary section, this was Sandra Fallon an employee of the Keene, NH Bradlees store.
This location changed from Grants to Bradlees in 1976, so she was likely one of the original hires for this Bradlees store

I also came across this photo in a slideshow on northjersey.com

Here is an AP photo I found from the Boston Globe that shows a metal Bradlees cart

If Bradlees was still around would they make it?

Did bradlees have a flagship store?

Did bradlees have a flagship store?

Not sure if it was ever considered a flagship store, but Bradlees seemed pretty proud of their store in Manhattan:

Wouldn't surprise me if it was their largest store.

Found a photo of the Bradlees in Providence, Rhode Island

No the one in Yonkers was bigger. Manhattan was 143,000 square feet, while the one in Yonkers was 196,000. The one in Yonkers use to be a former Alexanders store.

Just like the two Caldor stores in the Bronx and the one in Flushing were former Alexander stores. The one Bronx in Bruckner Commons was 186,584 which is still a Kmart. The one in Flushing was 165,000.

Just a couple tags I took off of old Christmas Light set boxes that are being disposed of - some of the last of the "old style" ones we had.

Found a photo of the Bradlees in Providence, Rhode Island

The photo is from the Providence Journal; however, this Bradlees was the Somerset, MA location on rt. 6  Stop & Shop Plaza. The building itself is long gone now.

I was looking through a newspaper archive website and found an ad for the grand opening of the bradlees store in Providence, RI.
the ad is on page 6.
