I had some time on my hands this week, so I traveled to the Bordentown Bradlees to satisfy my curiosity. It did not disappoint. My Shop! bit.ly/SleeveM... DON'T CLICK ON THIS LINK: bit.ly/SleeveD...
I remember I went to a Two Guys in maybe Toms River when I was really young (I was born in 1976). I barely remember it. I miss Bradlees. I do remember that store.
On the side of the building was a former Empire Beauty School that only existed for a few years. Prior to that it was just used as storage for extra fixtures from Bradlees and still had some of the original fixtures and signage from Two Guys.
Back in the day and I used to work for Montgomery Wards on Detroit's Eastside between 1980-1985.If I remember correctly Jefferson Wards used to be part of Montgomery Wards and Mobil Oil Corporation used to be the parent Corporation for Montgomery Wards and Mobil Oil Corporation has spun off the Montgomery Wards Division years ago before Montgomery Wards went Out of Business years ago. 7:32
5:25 That was my thought so whoever property management passerby could tell if the heat weren't working (/danger of pipes freezing) without needing to go inside.
Not sure what the walled off doors were but at the end was a beauty school for a while - not a Blockbuster or restaurant. The faces on the wall were part of the beauty school's persona. I see someone already commented that it was Empire Beauty School a month ago. Yup, that's the one.
Good lord, a Polaroid camera for $159… no wonder Two Guys went out of business 😂😂😂 My two guys was in freehold on route 9 next to Bradlees where there is now a Wegmans. I think it was also a cost cutters at some point after two guys.
Great find also that Voranado sign that's inside the former Bradley's was the company that bought all the two guy's stores voranado quickly realized that the property was worth more than the two guy's buildings so the ceo of Vornado sold the buildings to Jefferson ward and Vornado became Vornado reality
