If you had to be trapped in a store overnight due to a blizzard, what store...

[NightWatcher]

For comfort, I'd pick the walk in humidor at Total Wine. Oh and the beer selection....

A good case could be made for Bed Bath and Beyond too.

[RobinA]

1. Wegman's

Almost everything I could want.

[meow2u3]

32. I second that

Just about everything I need at a surprisingly low price, especially for staples.

[Agschmid]

46. Third.

[Liberalynn]

53. they would be my second choice after Barnes & Noble.

[hlthe2b]

2. Any store with a mattress department!

(and hopefully a food court)...

The former is also my choice for tornado warnings, but only if mattresses are downstairs in the back of the store.

[LiberalEsto]

3. Godiva Chocolate nt

[Xyzse]

9. Great Answer...

I think we can be friends.

[TBF]

4. Macy's -

they have furniture, candy, and at least moderately clean restrooms.

[Boom Sound 416]

10. I'll second that.

Everything one needs and a bed

[femmocrat]

25. That was my first thought, too!

[Phentex]

5. bookstore...

with coffee and chocolate. I'd be fine!

[TheMightyFavog]

6. Fleet Farm.

Hell, Fleet farm would be the best store to take refuge in in case of Zombie apocalypse. From the merchandise in your average Fleet Farm, one could build an amphibious escape vehicle with complete with gunports, chainsaw ports, heated seats, and cupholders. Not to mention that you'd also have enough food to last a while while building said vehicle.

[hedgehog]

11. But can man live on beef jerky alone?

[irisblue]

51. given that the Walking Dead is set in Georgia...

that would be a good place, and what does 2 inches of snow do to walkers? do they freeze? slow way way down? do limbs really freeze and snap off?

[siligut]

54. The cold weather preserves them

[sarge43]

7. The Littleton Book Store, Littleton NH

Coffee bar, snacks, comfy chairs and two floors of booooooks.

[sharp_stick]

8. Is that anywhere near the candy shop?

I haven't been to Littleton in about 10 year but I remember some fantastic fudge that would go really well with books and coffee.

[sarge43]

12. I don't recall any candy shop, but my go-to is strictly the diner and the book store

They do have excellent fudge at the coffee bar and remember we're trapped by the blizzard. We'll just have to make do.

[grasswire]

43. that diner is great

Maybe you can answer a question that's been on my mind for about fifteen years since I was last in Littleton. I recall an ice cream shack or building that wasn't on the main drag, but somewhere nearby. It had the best ice cream I've ever tasted. Does that ring a bell? Some kind of a family place. Window service.

[sarge43]

49. It's gone. A lot of the busnesses around here have a Mayfly life span :( n/t

[Rambis]

13. The Pub store

[geardaddy]

22. +1

[Iggo]

14. Sears.

[GoCubsGo]

15. Ikea

They have beds and a restaurant with hot food. Even better if they had a liquor store or wine shop next door. Got to have something to go with that smoked salmon.

[NightWatcher]

16. have you had the cinnamon rolls?

and with all your free time you could cuss at the klformakastrep when you couldnt get the hex key to work

[GoCubsGo]

26. Nope. Never ate in their restaurant.

I have had items from their grocery section, however. Mmmmm....lingonberry preserves...

[Renew Deal]

27. Meatballs, Ice Cream, and Chocolate

[csziggy]

39. Yes!

[bamademo]

17. Costco, TV's, wine, food, clothing, mattresses, blankets.

Everything you need is there including gas if you can finally drive.

[Renew Deal]

28. And. Lifetime supply of each.

[In_The_Wind]

29. Or BJ's if there's no Costco nearby.

[frwrfpos]

18. a beer distributor

[Sweet Freedom]

19. That actually happened to me.

During the blizzard of 77 in Buffalo, I was trapped at a Friendly Ice Cream Parlor.

[NightWatcher]

23. ice cream parlor, the one place you wouldn't want.

[Sweet Freedom]

24. Fortunately, they had hot food, too

And I was 8, so it was awesome

[kwassa]

20. Trader Joe's

the ones that sell beer and wine along with the gourmet goodies. I spend too much time there as it is.

[RebelOne]

21. A liquor store definitely. n/t

[OrwellwasRight]

30. How about the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Like the kids in this book?


But if I have to pick a store, then, I go with Macy's, since it is about the only full service department store left. As a kid, I would have picked The Broadway -- great store!

[pipi_k]

31. Doesn't

make a lot of difference to me as long as there's a bathroom.

And some food.

[Codeine]

33. A comic book store that carries boardgames.

And preferably one that comes equipped with a weather control machine that allows me to keep the blizzard going for a long, long time. And has an attached vegan restaurant.

That seems an unlikely business model, however.

[jmowreader]

34. This is a "you wouldn't have to pay for the things you ate" thread, correct?

I'd want to be trapped in a Fred Meyer...they have a grocery department with a good wine and beer assortment, an Entertainment department that sells tvs, and a furniture department.

[KatyaR]

35. A yarn store!

If it got too cold, you could just put all the yarn into a big pile and then crawl inside it.

Hopefully there'd be a liquor store and a restaurant next door....

[Shrek]

36. Snowmobile store n/t

[NightWatcher]

37. Thread Win ^^^^^^

[adirondacker]

44. LMAO! Ski Doo! nt

[kentauros]

38. Cost Plus World Market

Food and furniture, including beer and wine, though I'd probably be drinking the various root and ginger beers instead

http://www.worldmarket.com/

[grasswire]

45. oh I love world market

So colorful! And they have that great Japanese fruit candy.

[kentauros]

48. And those Dutch honey-waffle cookies

[Packerowner740]

40. Costco, SAMs club type store

Mattresses and pillows...check
Lots of food and drink....check
Food for my animals.......check
Lots of entertainment.....check

[MadrasT]

41. Barnes & Noble or Ikea.

[Liberalynn]

52. i agree with barnes and Noble

They even have a coffee and snack bar. Books and treats what could be better?

[magical thyme]

42. there's a nice little bookstore in Damariscotta, Maine

with very comfy overstuffed chairs, a cafe with great sandwiches, hot cocoa and various coffees, and chocolate deserts. Oh, and books.

Works for me.

[Brother Buzz]

47. One stop shopping for me

[Inkfreak]

50. One of Colorados newest pot shops. (nt)
