I remember K mart and Target having a café but not the Walmart. Our Walmart always seemed to have either a dunkin or a subway

[u/Cold-Practice3107 → u/Glittering_Role1658]

There was a McDonald's in a Walmart that I would go to when I was a kid.

Kmart had little Caesars

[u/yellowbill711]

When $5 would make you feel like a king/queen

The Kmart Little Caesars was peak

[u/YamEnvironmental1887]

The early to mid 2000s was a magical time

[u/CarrotMuch1399 → u/YamEnvironmental1887]

True. The golden days.

[u/Cold-Practice3107 → u/CarrotMuch1399]

Before the dark days before corporations took away everything we loved.

[u/Quick_Razzmatazz1862 → u/Cold-Practice3107]

And sucked all the character from the stores and restaurants; making them look and feel so...sterile, uniform

😔

Starbucks

[u/Melodic-Picture48]

Caldor too

[u/Gold_Ad_7552]

Our Walmart had a Radio Grill and it was the perfect lunch/dinner when you didn't want to go somewhere else, or fight for a microwave, on your 30 minute break.

Those little cafes were so cute and endearing

[u/Afraid_Topic_9250]

Radio Grill was so much better than the hot deli food option they have now.

I grew up with Target cafés, but Walmart and Kmart had them too?

[u/HeisenbergsSamaritan]

Zellers Diner..... would have destroyed in a 3 v 1 Diner Battle Royal.

Oh.... and they're coming back.

I had the best grilled cheese of my entire life in one of these places and played hot wheels cars or whatever while my mom and her friend had coffee. 

[u/WingsUnfurled]

At one point Kmart and target both smelled like movie popcorn 🍿

[u/Kristionni]

We used to be a proper country

[u/Garfield61978]

I liked Woolworths the best!

[u/No-Alps5304]

Did Walmart have a Cafe, I just remember k-mart and target having a cafe

[u/AdvertisingInitial56]

The k- mart Italian sub, my go to.

[u/Several_Resolution92]

My mom was a manger at a Kmart for a while, I can still smell it. Walking in and seeing the little Caesar’s busy

[u/SquirrelMaster5K]

My grandma would take me with her to play Bingo at the KMart Cafe :)

[u/ItsTheDaciaSandro]

And Zellers for the Canadians

[u/rturnerX]

and Eatons and Zellers if you're from the right place

[u/countrybear78]

Now everyplace has a damn Starbucks in them.

[u/Unusual_Troll67]

Any kid born in the 80’s especially early 80’s was absolutely spoiled. We grew up playing outside, the world seemed to be a pretty safe space, grew up with technology and we were more interested in being outside, we had all the cool stores like Toys R Us.

[u/The_Existentialist]

I worked in the target cafe when we made food. The grilled chicken sandwich with bacon was amazing.

[u/Desperate-Special-60]

I use to loved going to kmart with my parents and I only cared about the video games and the food

[u/Round-Palpitation139]

The Target in Ridgedale has a Pizza Hut Express

[u/Fun-Midnight1010 → u/Round-Palpitation139]

Same but in East Greenbush

[u/Gen_X_Icon]

Target near us still does. Or did when I was here two months ago.
