The Zayre in Middletown was a Warawick Shopper's World first, then was Zayre, then became Ames. Star Market was right next door. There was a connecting door on the inside between the two stores.
Warwick Shopper's World with the tall counter and jukebox. When I was young my girlfriend and I would walk down there after school, split a popcorn and a soda and I would play nothing but "Whole Lotta Love" every time! After that, we'd go to Adam's Drugstore next to Star Market and read the teen mags ... seems like heaven now.
I remember shopping at Zayre and Star Market. I won a contest at Star Market in the summer of 1979. I got to meet Jim Rice and Butch Hobson of the Boston Red Sox. My brother was so mad. The prize wasn't transferrable. I also remember the Hospital Trust Bank in that same shopping center.
My girlfriend worked at the Zayre store in Middletown and I briefly worked the Star market in the mid '80s. There was a pharmacy in this shopping center, does anyone recall the name? I know Zayre and Star are both defunct now. Is this shopping center even still there? I haven't been there in nearly 40 years!
I think the Strike Zone was in the Aquidnick lanes, by where Wendies and BJs is now not where Honme Depot is. Youre thinking of Hi-Way Bowl with The Ball n Pin which then became Oddballs and the Hall of Balls.sebastians was a night club in the same building.
