All the Stores You Loved in the ’90s That No Longer Exist
R.I.P. Limited Too.

Remember ye olden days before internet shopping was a thing and you had to buy your JNCO jeans and Steve Madden sandals at the mall? It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the most ’90s of times. Tragically, most of the era’s best stores are out of business now, so we’re rounding ’em up in one list in the name of nostalgia.





Circuit City
Otherwise known as the place your dad would drag you to after school to buy extension cords when you just wanted to go home and watch Hey Arnold! and eat Lunchables.



KB Toys
What was a trip to the mall without forcing your mother into KB Toys and manipulating her into buying something (preferably Pogs) for you? A failure, that’s what.





Linens-N-Things
One of the great joys of life was going to Linens-n-Things so that your parents could buy linens and then begging them to buy you an expensive trapper keeper while you were there (which I guess is what they meant by “n-things”).































Sam Goody
Sam Goody was insanely successful...until it wasn’t. But during the store’s heyday, it was responsible for a whopping seven percent of all U.S. record sales.
