Howdy all,

I was browsing through some old posts on the Zayre board and I came across this post regarding some leftover Zayre signage at the Walmart in Brockton, NY

Well, I logged onto Google Maps to see if the signs were still out there, and sure enough they are! Walmart moved out of the property, which is now owned by a hardware store named Runnings, but as of July 2018 the Zayre-styled Enter/Exit signs are still there. Check it out for yourself!

There was a Zayre store in Terre Haute, IN that for one reason or another never became Ames after they acquired Zayre.

Its kinda funny in an ironic way because the building that used to be Zayre was eventually turned into a Hills discount store, which later did, in fact, become Ames after that acquisition went through.

The Hudson store (Which started as a Barkers then became Kings then Ames) also had (still has, actually) an auto center area - not sure if Barkers used it at one point or when, when Kings was there it wasn't used but for storage, after Ames took over it was still empty for a while then was leased out to a local person to run.

Perhaps the Carmel one was the same (maybe
Barkers->Kings->Ames)??

hymm idk if barkers had auto centers but if it did then i would say it was a barkers that got a rentvation or m,aby it was always a ames that just happend to have a auto center in it

The Ames store on Brewster Ave in Caramel did in fact start out as a Barkers, which was later a King's, than an Ames.

There were two Zayre stores near me in Pittsburgh.  One was in the Great Southern Shopping Center in Bridgeville.  That space is now shared between a combined TJ Maxx/Homegoods store and a beer distributor.  The other was on the third level of the now-demolished Parkway Center Mall.  Ames apparently had no interest in keeping that space after the merger.  It ended up being divided between CompUSA and Syms Mens Clothing. When both of those bit the dust the mall sealed-off the third level entirely and became a two-level mall.

Old photos of the Elm Street Zayre in Manchester NH (now the snhu arena, urban renewal) crazy that they tried a foods concept I didn't know that, also the store next to Zayre was at that time a state of the art supermarket later bought out a few times and now is essentially Hannafords (ferrettis-alexanders-shop&save-hannafords)
