Bradlees
Bradlees was a chain of discount department stores which operated primarily in the Northeastern United States.
The first store was opened in New London, Connecticut in 1958.
The company was acquired by grocery chain Stop & Shop in 1961. Stop & Shop would own the chain until 1992.
Bradlees had successfully exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1999 only to go bankrupt again and close its doors in 2000. At the time of its liquidation, there were 105 Bradlees stores in seven states. Many of its former store locations were purchased by Wal-Mart.
Bradlees was also the site of many former "Two Guys" department store locations. Two Guys was the Walmart Supercenter of its day which reigned popular throughout New York and New Jersey in the 1960's and 70s.
