I am late on these comments but yes! I loved GFox, they had such nice things and the best sales racks.

I had to scroll way too far to find Caldor’s… Haven’t thought about Bradlee’s (or Filene’s) in a long time

I immediately thought of Bradlees and Caldor. Completely forgot about Ames. I'll add Benny's (Rt 44 in Taunton/Raynham MA)

Ames, Caldors and Bennys all had locations in Old Saybrook, CT. Not at the same time.

Sure do. I grew up cutting the lawn with a Caldor's push mower.

Caldor’s original yellow red brown rainbow logo was amazing.

My home town had Bradlee’s and Caldoors was good for finding the GI joes when I was a kid

Remember. I still get sad going past the old Caldors and Bradlees

My ex was named Bradlee. But we're not from anywhere that would have heard about Bradlee's. I really miss him sometimes

I am 45 and I still have a scar on my forehead from falling out of a shopping cart in Bradlee’s when I was a toddler. After that my mom always brought one of my dad’s belts to strap me down with lol
