Does anyone remember this store??

It was called R3 Sons Fun Emporium in Rockport, MA which my family goes there every year for a week in August and I vividly remember going to this store many times as a kid and being sad when it just disappeared like everywhere in like 2016ish. It was a store where they sold like random silly gag gifts and unique toys. There is NO info or pictures of it ANYWHERE online the only thing I have to prove it was not a fever dream is a picture of the window display from back in 2014 that I took on my 3DS. Does anyone have pictures of the inside of this store or a video of yourself going into it back in the day because I really want to see this store again

1991 Thalhimers Commercial (Fur Close-Out)

Thalhimers was an upscale department store chain based in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1842. In 1990, it was acquired by the May company, which converted all Thalhimers stores to their Hecht’s brand by the end of 1992. (Hecht’s itself was bought out by the parent company of Macy’s in 2005, and most remaining former Thalhimers stores are now Macy’s.) Here’s an ad during that transition period, where the fur departments in two stores in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia are closing.

Phar-Mor “Power Buying” ad (1987)

I remember Phar-Mor coming and going very quickly in my area in a short amount of time, but was too young to know what was going on behind the scenes when it happened.

Sears at Kmart? Yes.

A lot of people are confused on whether there is any Kmarts left in the USA. Yes. Technically only 1 full size store is still open and fully operational- because the Miami location sold its lease to AtHome and move to the tiny garden center area.
