S&R Department Store Kingston closing down - Clearance sale starts Wednesday!

Things were never the same again in that town after the Cocamo closed down...

Yeah it's quite sad that they are closing.

Just wondering what kind of clearance sale they are having? Is it a % off store wide?

Too lazy to look up something 3 posts before yours?

RIP S&R! You've earned your rest.

I worked across the street at Sir Gawain and would go to S&R for drinks, gum, and candy almost every shift. It was a great place.

Was in there today...nothing would be a deal to an rfder. 10-15%, 20% off shoes, but that isn't a real deal.

But it was busy, never seen that many people in line at the cashes. Some empty section of shelves here and there. there won't be anything worth buying left by the time it comes to having to get rid of it at high discount. 20% off their shoe prices is nothing, but lots of people were looking.

the faygo pop machine was the best part, cheapest cold drink downtown.

Not too lazy, but I totally missed that post for some reason.

However I am too lazy to head down there to find out myself!

That elevator with the attendant is one of my earliest memories, along with the creepy underground parking. I was kinda cool to go back there in my later years at Queens. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. So who's gonna get that scale that tells your fortune and restore it?

I've been to S&R multiple times for Halloween materials/costume. This place and Phase Two. Good times

Kingston (and Queen's) will never be the same

So sad. I grew up in Kingston and S&R has always been a part of my life, now as a unique shopping experience when we go back for visits.

The great independants left are all closing. Sad state of the world.

Blame it on our bad city council. I can't believe how poorly run Kingston is 'sigh'. Body Shop closed down on Princess I like walking there during lunch. Oh well I usually shop at Rio Can anyway!! I'll go to S & R on Monday to see what's on sale but doubt anything good. I rather they pave Brock St before gutting up downtown Princess St.

another queen's alum here...

gonna miss S&R... from the creepy, haunted house feeling, to the uneven floors, and the elevator man.... It always felt like I was going back in time somehow (but into bizarro land!) when I strolled through.

Thanks for the memories...

Yet another Queen's alum...

Nothing to say in regards to S&R, but I fell the need to say hi. Gotta love that Queen's pride! LOL

...haha, shall I start the Oil Thigh???
