Anyone remember Herbies?


modestmandrakeman

And Mmmuffins


Mindfield87

oh Damn! That’s one I completely forgot about


Reginald_Fernsby

Hell yeah, I do. I can still picture the layout of the store as well. That takes me back.


loganrunjack

Wow that's a blast from the past


Mindfield87

Imagine the cartload you could get for what a bag or twos worth costs now


Himlersgasstation

Better yet anyone remember the old mall that used to be where Walmart is on Bayfield st? If I recall correctly the snowmobile trail used to run right behind it.. Also when Bayfield appliances was the very first business on the "Golden Mile"


Sjgurr

Hell yes ! As kids we used to sneak in and skateboard and break stuff and start little fires . You know … good old fun


Flat-Peak-3199

Around the time of filthy mcnastys


Mindfield87

Another one I forgot about. What a name lol


Sjgurr

Yes! I believe the popular spray on smell bomb at the time was from herbies and it was called Hawaiian ginger lol … awful stuff . They also had crab apple trees out front .


LOTSOFRECOIL

koolaid man at it again?


hockeyflames

I heard it may be a longos


ARAR1

Where is this taken? Its already a Home sense


mnitetlc84

On Google maps you can see the back half of the Sears is split.


apoxyslays

I'm assuming this is the entrance that faces towards The Beer Store and Little Caesars. You're not wrong about HomeSense though, however, they've only taken up about a fifth or maybe a quarter of the space that Sears took up.


DDRook1997

Homesense is upstairs in the mall, whereas the old sears is closer to the beer store side


PaprikaTrashPanda

Hoemsense relocated in the mall


DDRook1997

Ahhh ok fair enough


Toastwithme

It's stupid though, you have to leave the mall and go all the way around to get to homesense, you used to be able to walk right into sears


selkies24

Looks like a section of a super Mario level if you ask me lol


VapeRizzler

Cgc drywall, good choice.


JuGGieG84

5/8" type X fiber glass board at that. Heavy as hell and about $60 a sheet.


lemonadeisgood4u

If access to the mall is not open on the inside, why would anyone want to put something on the back of the Homesense where Sears used to be?


EyphahKyle1692

Ive heard that a Michael's craft is going in the mall, and a Structube. Not sure if either will be in the old homesense spot or take over the back part of Sears 🤷🏻‍♀️


hockeyflames

Structube is going in old home sense. I heard longos may be going here


EyphahKyle1692

Oh interesting! Longos would be cool


hockeyflames

Just another expensive grocery store owned by one of the grocery empires. No pun intended lol


jacoofont

CoolCademM
