I woke-up thinking about all of the department stores that many of us fondly remember while we were growing up.

These were the “go to” stores.

These were the stores that we purchased our back to school clothes from when we were children.

These vintage and now gone stores are where our parents purchased all of our Christmas presents.

From daily needs, such as food and paper products … to all essentials and frills … these were the ”go to”stores.

These stores must have been very important to us, because we still fondly remember them, despite the fact that most of them have been closed for decades.

For example, I have such incredibly fond memories about Two Guys.

Two Guys was our Family’s “go to” store. They seemed to have had just about everything … including the best piping hot soft pretzels that I’ve ever had … located just before you walked into the store.

I’ve always believed that as we grow older, we become more and more nostalgic about the department stores that we loved as children.

It also explains why the old television programs that we loved earlier in life still remain so popular today.

Immediately below, is a photo gallery and walk down memory lane of the many department stores that we loved in New Jersey that are no longer open.

I promise you that the memories will come flooding back for you and yours.

Here are the many great names in the department store business that are no longer with us.

BONUS: After the vintage department stores look back, we have obtained incredible photographs that have never been seen before from the original Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino … from before it opened in 1980.
