Note how many of the stores are pluralized or made possessive in typical LI fashion.

Caldors (I think there was one in Westfield Sunrise Mall, I remember there being old Shopping carts with the Caldor label on them but I don't remember being in the actual store)
Busy Bee (There was one in one of the Massapequas; there was an Arcade in one too.. unless i'm mistaking it for another place)
Genovese (There was one in West Babylon/Babylon Village across from WB High School, it didn't close too long ago)
