[jaredski09]

hey thanks guys!

whoops, i guess i didn't really make it that clear... Zayre's had opened at the University Mall in the 1970's, and then they renovated Zayre's in 1988 (to connect to the new section of the University Mall). The picture I posted of Zayre's was when they re-opened as the new renovated Zayre's. Sorry for being confusing... haha

Can you add this to the locator and is the orange and brown check outs Zayre?

[gu4ever]

This location was originally a RICH'S department store that closed when they went out of business. AMES moved into this location and  opened a VERY impressive store unlike any I had every seen. It was very bright and spacious with some amazing graphics all over the store. This location had the traditional green and cream checkouts. Once the location closed all the fixtures were removed.
And the orange and brown checkouts are from a Zayre store, I remember them from the original Zayre location in North Nashua on 101A, that is now a Homegoods.
You also can spot those orange and brown checkouts live in the asset protection awareness video footage during the robery scene.

The store are from the Mass area, the first store opened was named building 19, the next store they opened was also a building 19 but they added the additional measure 1/8, 1/2 and so on. Their slogan was "Good Stuff Cheap"

This is the famous commercial from 1993. You will notice that Manchester, NH is listed. The original building 19 was in Mammoth Mills. This was later torn down and an Osco Drug was built on the site, now a Rite Aid.

The sell random and cheap things; for example, couches and fish. Somewhat like a Big Lots but more variety and less decorum.
