Blockbuster.

Loved their movie pass. I watched probably 100 movies the summer I had that.

You have got to be from North Louisiana, when I was reading this I thought of everyone of these stores. You brought back some great memories. Thank you

Gibson's.

Father interviewed with them and some upstart out of NW Arkansas. Chose poorly and we moved every 2 years to a different store.

Toss up between TG&Y and K&B, but it's hard not to go with K&B. I still refer to things as being "KB Purple."

Service Merchandise. As a kid, that anticipation of waiting for your box to come out of the warehouse and roll down the conveyor was awesome. Bought my first Gameboy from there.
