Caldor at Tri-City Plaza in Vernon in spring 1999

This location at Tri-City Plaza opened in October 1976 which replaced W.T. Grant department store. This store closed when Caldor went out of business in 1999. This location was eventually occupied first by Ames (also went out of business three years later), Price Chopper supermarket and then (currently) ShopRite supermarket.

Zoomz was Rax's attempt to capitalize on the double drive-thru craze of the late 1980s. At least three locations were opened in the Columbus, Ohio area in 1988, selling hamburgers alongside roast beef. All locations closed by 1989.

This specific store was located at The Patio Shops, a shopping center in Columbus. While the building is long gone, you can still see the drive thru lanes in the parking lot today.
