This Virgin store in Paris closed its doors in 2013.

Kmart
The aisles of this closed Kmart are all but barren.
Sears
This display is only half the mannequin it used to be at this abandoned Sears store. Maybe its other half is busy picking up a Kenmore or a Frigidaire?
Tower Records

Bed Bath & Beyond
If you look closely enough at where the sign used to be, you can see this was once a Bed Bath & Beyond in Memphis, Tennessee.
