tubby_mcgee 701 Posted December 9, 2020 Sam Goode Piggly Wiggly (grocery - probably regional, none of you have heard of). I think it might still be a name, but not grocery anymore. Red Owl (grocery - probably regional, none of you have heard of) Montgomery Ward KB Toys (and of course Toys R Us)--if I was going to check for a Nintendo game (8 bit) these are the two places I'd look.

Shakey's Pizza was founded in Sacramento, California, on April 30, 1954, by Sherwood "Shakey" Johnson and Ed Plummer. Johnson's nickname resulted from nerve damage following a bout of malaria suffered during World War II. it was the first franchise pizza chain in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakey's_Pizza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
