I had a friend who would often comment that "I wear the pants in my house, just ask my wife ... she let's me"
TG&Y, Woolworth's, Western Auto, Blockbuster Video, Vickers Petroleum Service Stations, and Montgomery Ward to name a few.

Woolco was part of Woolworth's; we had both of them where I grew up. I'd plum forgotten about "Monkey Ward;" it's where I bought my first gun.
It was a popular place with my family. There was a large monkey wards in town. From clothes to auto parts 
I let google inform me of places that weren't here any more to make certain that they were truly closed. I mentioned the Vickers station. In my home town of Haysville Ks there was a Vickers and that is where my father bought gas and had small repairs performed. Google had a nice write up about the station that belongs to the city now. I didn't know and I lived there 19 years... here is a link if you are bored

I had a monkey ward credit card right out of high school. Also gone are the Western Auto, Woolworths, (remember the long food counter with round top bar stools), Sears, and KMart.

Kmart, Blockbuster video, Phoenix concert hall in town, Walden's Bookstore in the mall.
K-Mart, Woolworths/Woolco, Sears, Western Auto, Blockbuster, Shakey's pizza, along with all of the full service gas stations.
The Shakey's in my area went away a long time ago now. However, I've seen advertising for Shakey's on the baseball plex this summer. I think it might have been a Dodgers game. I hated to see them go... they made a good pie. Pizza Hut originally started here in Wichita Ks. They pretty much hurt or shut down the other parlors. When I was a kid it was Sears and Roebuck. I'm pretty sure that a tag on my baseball glove still reflects that time. Google says there were eight remaining Sears in 2024. Not owned by Sears but retaining the name. I loved their catalog as a child. To dream about some of the toys and to sneak a peak at the women's lingerie.

Yes they are back.
