Apparently they still have 8 locations open. 6 in southern Ohio, 1 in Kentucky, and 1 in Illinois. You still have a chance to see if they'll accept your coupons

I was looking at it a while back. Forget Amazon - Sears was selling food by mail in 1902! Dried food of course, like coffee, beans, and rice.
Rumor is Amazon wants to buy Sears for B&M locations.

Just went through the whole thread and as usual no one mentioned Bono's Pizza.
Great prices, good pizza. Unfortunately they closed right as I started at LSU.
Why am I the only one who remembers this place?

What the hell. Where was this at? There's a Gibson's in kerrville and I always thought it was just a local store.

Really miss having breakfast at The Bread Basket on Florida with my grandparents.
I think this place is the reason I'm partial to a good, small personal diner...that and dive bars.
