Bradlees final days tv commercial

A tv commercial for the final days of the Bradlees going out of business sale. Remember when you could go to Bradlees, Caldor, or Ames when Walmart inevitably failed to have what you wanted?

I loved working for bradlees, my store was the one in west caldwell.nj. Back in 1986-87, i got most of my high school buddies to leave they other jobs so they could come work with me there, it was a blast. Site and sound was one of my dept. and loved the sunday sale with castro oil which we only had like one pallet and by 12:00 it was sold out. It was one of the nicest job i had, back in the days.

@kcjunior3 I almost forgot about the "Sight and Sound" department. I bought my tape recorder there

I worked at Bradlees from 1995 to 1997. I loved shopping there, but as far as working there, the pay was questionable. That said, Bradlees should be remembered for being a good place to shop. I wonder if they've done anything with the Hazlet, NJ location yet.

I use to love shopping there. You might have had to pay more, but they would usually have what you went there for.

Ten years later there are still a handful of untouched Bradlees that just sit there vacant with the logos on them in everything...in New Jersey I believe...the Bradlees in my town became a Walmart a few years after it closed in 2001...I still fully remember what the store looked like on the inside, and I found a great aerial shot from the mid-80's at a car dealership as well that showed the old road sign as well as half the rest of the town looking wayyy different

The bradlees near me in CT have been taken over. The one is Stratford was torn down and a BJs built there. The one in shelton is a bed bath and beyond. In trumbull the Caldor was turned into a khols. I too can still remember where things were placed in those stores when I go to them

@RetroVideoFan oh the comercial aired during the final days ill say late-February to early-March

[RetroVideoFan]

@VampireWeekend34 I actually meant the commercial when it first aired, but thanks anyway for the information.

[VampireWeekend34]

@RetroVideoFan nope i remember i was like 14 years old when this store closed I was standing beside the Woodbridge,NJ store when at around 10:30 P.M. the last store closed on March 15,2001

@ALAKA777 Yeah, I know. I went past there 2 weeks ago during my visit to Jersey. I'm wondering if they'll ever do anything with that property. I had heard WalMart was supposed to go there, but now I'm hearing the property is still for sale/lease.

AllisonTheSNLGuru and jcjh20 (and anyone else who it may concern): Could you PLEASE help me pin down when that other grocery store (opposite the Pathmark) closed? Could it have been A&P and later ShopRite? Because A&P left South Jersey in 1982 (except for Super Fresh). Or perhaps this store moved to the Super Fresh (now closed) in Pleasantville which recently closed? Then ShopRite took over the old one and later closed?
