Here are 10 scans of retro advertisements from beyond the dead mall graveyard out of a 1987 issue of Euclid Square News.
Stride Rite
Mothers may trust Stride Rite but kids are certain to hate their mothers when they are forced to wear these ridiculous shoes.
Flowerama
If a flower is worth a thousand words, you can say I love you four thousand times with a dozen roses for 18.95…What a great deal!
Docktor Pet Centers
“If you still have fleas you need to see us”…lol
Luv
Why did these ever go out of style? Seems like everybody’s grandad had one of these on the side of his Lay Z Boy recliner to keep all of the remotes in order.
Hough Bakeries
I felt somewhat uncultured when I had to Google “canapes”…after seeing what they are I don’t feel so bad, they look gross.
My Fair Lady
Nothing screams high fashion like “Sweat Separates”.
The Gallery
Gift shopping would have definitely been an art at “The Gallery” if this Waterford crystal is the most exciting thing they have going for them. I really had to think about the SALE catch phrase on this ad for a while and I’m still not sure I get it.
Karmelkorn
This is actually a really good coupon, both the Karmelkorn and CheeseKorn were really good from what I can remember, not sure I would pass out Popkorn balls at Halloween though. After a Google search I was pleasantly surprised to find Karmelkorn is still in business.
Taco Bell
A Mall food court staple even though Euclid Square Mall didn’t have a traditional food court. Taco Bell is actually pretty tasty in a pinch but I have to question the quality of the steak…But seriously, can you guys just bring back those Cinnamon Crispas already!
CPI Photo Finish
The coolest thing I remember about the mall one hour photo places was that your photos would go by individually on a conveyer type machine as they were printed, and you could stand at the storefront window and watch. It was also nice that “Double Prints” were always included.
Be like yourself or be different with one of these Euclid Square Mall shirts from Untitled Colours.
