10 Companies We Lost In The Last Decade

Most of these stores had one thing in common:
They didn’t realize the potential of the internet

[Kram_Snilloc]

Moral of the story.


If you make a business, put it online

[TheMedicatedArtist]

Blockbuster laughed at Netflix’s offer of a partnership in the 2000s; hindsight is a beautiful thing.

[Movie_Games]

ToysRUs hurts the most. Even in my 30's I would go in and feel like a kid and buy an action figure or something.

[boyaintright]

Losing Toys-R-Us and Blockbuster feels like I lost old childhood friends.

[RandomGuy-itgp]

R.I.P every company that died except that Toys R Us is reborn.

[lakshmikuch]

the payless store has such a distinct smell and I still remember it even though its been years since I've been to one

[thebestnoodle]

Dude I used to get ALL my shoes in Payless, every year my mom would even let me choose whatever shoes I wanted and she couldn’t say no, damn I really miss that store

[kenshinhimura]

The only 3 companies I see coming back later are
1. Blockbuster
2. Toys R us
3. Payless shoe store

Here's the summary :

10. Payless - 63 Years Old

8. Borders - 40 Years old

7. Sports Authority - 88 years old

6. charmingCHARLIE - 14 years old

4. A&P - 156 years old

3. WOW air - 8 years old

2. Henri Bendel - 124 years old

1. Toys 'R' Us - 71 years old

Hey, I just saved you 10 minutes. 😆

[alorations]

I didn’t even know Gymboree went out of business I hated going there as a kid but I’m sad it’s gone

[airbornez]

I used to spend a whole day playing with all the toys in toyrus without buying even 1 of them 😂

[catethefruitypebble]

someday in like 70 years there is going to be a “the rise and fall of Amazon”video

[anxietina_]

Toys R Us and Borders are still here in SouthEast Asia

[moved]

why is the whole comment section saying
toysrus: closes
canada: (insert overused joke)

[HayaMikaChan]

I miss Payless so much. I have such a large shoe size (Womens 13-14) and Payless made it easy for me to just go to the section with my size and see what they had vs. looking around, finding something I love only to find out they don't make my size. I know shopping online is a thing, but I just can't do online shoe shopping. I need to see how it fits and feels and shopping online just isn't reliable.

I wish Payless would come back to stores... I miss it so much...

[sprinkles]

Who else only knew
Blockbuster
Toys r us
Payless shoe store

[getnaenaed]

asian ToysRUs: “allow us to introduce our self”

[coreyafk]

Even giants can fall when they don't innovate with the times.
