Its regional nemesis, Bradlees, has plans for a Brooklyn store, but that unit will not open until 1994.
The Flushing store included some merchandising that seemed designed especially for a city store. The women’s department, for instance, featured gold lame and other evening style dresses–not common in most suburban Caldors.
I’ve read recently that finally something is going on at the old Caldor.
I’ve been looking all over on Flickr tonight to see if anybody ever had the chance to get inside of there when the store was still vacant. I haven’t found anything yet.
What are peoples memories of this store?

Video of the Woolworth’s store that was next door to Caldor.
Target, 2009 (I’m jeals of the gingerbread Target)
Wonderland Music, 1989
Macys, 1978 (its the 4th commercial–could the Texas Instruments watch commercial be the longest commercial for a watch ever? Also notice the Child World commercial)
Thanksgiving night commercials, 1989. Obligatory, “WE’LL DO IT LIVE!!” comment that one has to make when seeing Billo on Inside Edition. &ROADHOUSE
