Cornet was a small department store similar to a TG&Y or a Sprouse-Reitz. I don't know if there are even any more around anymore!

[tokensafari]

No one knows. I can't remember what they looked like! Does anyone have any idea?

[Caldor1999]

my guess is that they were  red with the Hills Logo on them:question:

Thats nice post a thread about it can we get to shopping carts please?


what about those Hills carts?:huh:

No need to be rude. I was answering a question asked here. If I am not wanted to answer questions, I can certainly leave the boards.

Below is a picture of a Harts buggy. I got the little plastic clear thing that says Harts. This buggy is sooooo old!

[tokensafari]

and then here is a picture of a Big Bear Stores buggy!

I spotted an Old Navy cart down the street from where I work. This is interesting, because Old Navy is at least 10 miles from where I work! I walked down and pushed it into the hallway of my building. Several people had fun pushing it into different rooms, and we even gave someone a shopping cart ride. :insane: I finally pushed it back outside, though, because the people working on Monday would not likely have a sense of humor about a stray shopping cart in the hall.

Spotted a MacFrugal's cart today:

[storehistoryguy]

I spotted a Jamesway cart outside and Eckerd with a bunch of Eckerd carts. :o

[AmesNewington]

Ames carts are at the Ocean State Job Lot in Berlin CT. I'm guessing these Ames carts are either from the Newington, Middletown, or Meriden Ames.

I also tracked down some Clover carts at a small Asian shop I went to a few times. Also at a dollar store I know, they had carts with stickers on them that said Ames. They were red carts. So I peeled off the Ames sticker on one of them and it said Hills underneth. :)

Yes. These ones were all red. Not like Bradlees carts though. They were also red, but darker.


OMG YOU'VE FOUND OUT WHAT THE HILLS CARTS LOOKED LIKE!!!!!!!!

Shopping cart sighting at Building19 in Nashua. Carts from Home Quarters and Caldor  :roll:

[XDeSuEhTX]

Right when Ames first went out, I saw their carts in a few places. Like at Big Lots across the road, I even saw them a little ways down the road at Kroger. Some had been pushed off over the bank and turned over. But even today, I still them inside Magic Mart where the stockers use them to haul things in and out from the back.

[store215]

was at a flea market today and spotted a bunch of green Jamesway carts, some Bradlees baskets in a pet store, and an old Nichols cart (not interesting...just said Nichols on a yellow handlebar on a metal cart). They also had some giant orange carts, but the names were all blured out...anyone may know what store used these? Jamesway maybe?

I didn't spot any Clover carts like I did last time I went though :(


There was also some big black carts like Caldor's but they said "Snyders" on them...I'm guessing they are from a local market or something.

And there were many "Ames" look-a-like green carts, but the handle bars all said "Value Time" or something like that on them.

The Big Kmart store in Salem NH has:

1- "Super Kmart" carts,
2- "Super Kmart centers" carts
3- Regular Kmart carts (like the picture)
4- red carts with a Kmart logo over the real store logo.

It's really funny but sad at the same time... seeing how Kmart can't have standards and closed Super Kmarts

(probably sent "Super Kmart" carts at the Salem store because they had the very old 1980's carts !!)

At my local Trust Worthy hardware store, they've got 2 old True Value carts, a Superx Drugs (who are they?) cart, and all Do it Center handbaskets. I spotted a really cool blue cart one time. Its name was similar to Plato's Closet, but I forget what it was.:cool:

[Anonymous]

Update! I visited hancock Fabrics otday, and saw some treasures! I saw regular hancock carts, but also ones exactly like them, except the print was silver, not gold, and read "Fabric Warehouse". I sneaked in the stockroom to use their restroom, and guess what I saw? 3 old Kroger carts and......(drum rolling)........
A BIG BEAR CART! I've never seen another!

[tokensafari]

I have wondered what happened to the big bear carts... there were so many... it's like they have disappeared off the face of the earth!

[Anonymous]

Well, the only Big Bear I've ever seen, and yes it is vacant, is in Hurricane, WV. If you go to the store locator and go to the pictures of the Hurricane, WV Ames, it is actually in the same plaza as the Big Bear. Maybe Marden's can help.:insane:

Here's the miscellaneous Shopping Cart Sightings album I've compiled. There are tons of Bradlees carts in my area as you'll see...

If you want to see more carts I've encountered, check out my other albums in my signature which feature (mostly) Ames carts from former Ames sites. Enjoy!

[ameskmart1]

Fred Meyer cart

UPDATE!! I was at Big Lots yesterday, and I saw a HomeGoods cart (there used to be one next to it, which is now a Gabriel bros. I was pushing a cart that was an Odd Lots-only cart! I also saw some Big Lots/Odd Lots handbaskets. Also, I saw some mystery carts which were ames green, and had the same design as Ames had on their red carts! Why they're not Ames: Our ames closed 15 years ago! But the pinnacle of the trip: I saw some black carts with orange handles. I saw stripes on the side under the Big Lots! sticker. Someone pulled down the inside sticker, revealing:
YOU ARE OUR #1 PRIORITY. THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT............
VENTURE!
I slapped myself, literally! Also had a fleet of Targets. My Goodwill uses old Meijer carts, with the old logo.

[tokensafari]

i spotted a G.C. Murphy's cart. A first for me!
