Bradlees After-Thanksgiving Commercial (1995)

youre right its on broad street, in the old manchester parkade.

you just triggered a memory of being in the electronics dept in '97 and the keyboard on display was demoing Wannabe by Spice Girls...haha what a strange memory.

I shopped at Bradlees for a decade as a kid, and still live in the same town. It's a Walmart now. It has been completely renovated on the inside and doesn't look the same whatsoever, but I can still perfectly picture where everything was. The last thing I ever got was a razor scooter shortly after Xmas of 2000 when they closed

As a kid my favorite thing about the store was the Lego aisle, this was actually back when Kmart, yes Kmart, was the big shit in town. But Bradlees always seemed to get the newest Legos first and I always recognized that as a kid. My least favorite departments were the hideously outdated videogames (only sold original GameBoy and Genesis in my town, all the way up to 2000)

The clothing dept was cool bc each section was separated by walls inside the store, with mirrors lining the walkways

Over the years I've collected three pictures of the Bradlees in my town (Keene NH btw) but they are all outside shots. One shot was actually taken from a helicopter in the early 80's and captures the entire east half of the town, all of which has changed dramatically, yet still remains recognizable in a strange way...

I wish there were pictures or even a video from the inside of that store though. I've always thought it was a shame that survalliance video was not available...would be a trip

Lol :D  Yea, they turned the one I live by into a Walmart too!
