RadioShack

Every strip mall had one: RadioShack, where you flashed your Battery of the Month club card for a free Enercell and got asked for your phone number just to buy batteries. Drawers of components, Realistic-brand gadgets, RC cars, police scanners, and staff who actually knew electronics. "You've got questions. We've got answers."

TCBY

"The Country's Best Yogurt," the strip-mall frozen-yogurt counter that sold the '90s on "all of the pleasure, none of the guilt" and grew from one Little Rock shop in 1981 to nearly 3,000 stores. The initials originally stood for something else.
