Marshall Field and Company on State Street in Chicago. Although it's been decades since it closed, it was my favorite retail experience. I still use one of their big green shopping bags to hold ribbon and bows for wrapping gifts.

When I lived in NYC, I used to always go shopping for my clothes and shoes at Annie Sez. I used get name brand shoes and clothes at discount prices.

Woodward & Lothrop, a DC metro area department store that I loved.
So sad to see them go.

I miss Lord & Taylor too, we did not have one here in town but I visited them anytime I was near one. But one I really miss is Pier One, I loved their tableware and shopped there constantly for display items for the travel agency windows. Seeing it in person was much more fun than looking at it online.

Several stores I miss are:
Pier One, although we have a Kirklands in our area and they have similar things, Coldwater Creek, BonTon, KMart.

@Othereeeen I grew up on Long Island and I cannot tell you how often I still picture myself as a little girl -- looking in awe at the wall of dolls at Korvette's toy store. As long as I live -- it is something I will never forget.

Another vote for KMart. I loved to wander around all the different departments and got great jeans and other clothing there, along with household items.
I also miss a store we had called Linens & Things. It was a step up from BB&B, had great selections of household items. Long gone now, with nothing to really replace it.
In general, I miss all the stores that were like KMart (Ames, Bradlees, Grant's).
