We used to have a chain called 'What Everyone Wants' split into subcategories of 'What Every Woman Wants', 'What Every Man Wants' etc. Known collectively as 'What Every's'

It was a department store selling cheap shitty clothes, homewares etc, and a bit of a Glasgow institution.

William Low was another favourite of mine. Supermarket with the fastest trolleys in town (very important if you're a bored seven year old)

There was Malcolm Campbell the fruiter and deli too, they always had free samples sitting out.

What stores do you remember that no longer exist?

Woolworth's is gone, right? My mom used to work there, and she signed us up for some kid's thing where on your birthday you could go in and get a big bag of jellybeans.

Eaton's
Woodward's
At least The Bay is still an active Canadian department store and has gotten better, but I was always an Eaton's girl. I miss it.
