This location had the same fate as the Olentangy location, but after Hills closed down, it became something else. I have no idea whats taking Hills place now.

Gold Circle/Caldor/Ben & Jerrys
To me, this location is notable for my WEMOCO teacher working at this Gold Circle as an electrician back in the 80s! After Gold Circle was Caldor, Ben and JErrys, and then was remade into a storage unit.

Had closed in 1996, and was later rebult into a movie theater which is currently known as Regal Cinemas (First Started as Hoyts)

Since shut down, it was remodeld in favor of the Walmart Connection center and a Subway. Since then, Caldor road was renamed to Walmart way to fit their "PERFECT" bill.

A fun place to be back in the kid days of the 90s. Too bad they closed in 2000. Later, the Greece Learning centre came into place and it still stands today!

Became the Department of Motor vehicles circa. mid 80s, later became Circuit City in 1998 and closed in 2009.

GameStorm
7/8/1995
Game Storm, Rochester's finest gaming store, is going out of business.
Everything must go! They carry CD-I, 3DO (Import and Domestic), SNES,
Genesis, 32X, Sega CD, and Turbo Duo accessories, units and games. They
have new and used games and systems at really low prices. Game Storm
accepts COD or any major Credit Card. They will ship directly to your
home. They are located at Greece Ridge Center Mall, Rochester, New York.
You can call them at 716-225-2800. Thy are open 10:00a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Monday through Saturday. Sundays 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.
I stopped in today and I saw some Japanese titles for 3DO. I think they
had a few copies of Dr. Hauzer cheaply. They had other Jap titles too
but I didn't see which ones. Call them today! The mall is making them leave very soon.
They had tons of SNES titles new and used, and very cheap! I also saw an
8-bit adaptor for the SNES. Not sure if it was sold yet. Call them at
716-225-2800. Ask Matt, the store owner, to give you a good deal. Offer
your fair price if you want, they may not refuse it!

Shut down in favor of HoneGoods.

Tuxedo Shop and former Game Station.
Best guess for these twin bildings is that they were taken down around 2005/2006. Probably having to do with the poor reconstruction of the Ridge Road. Before Gamestation came to this location, it used to be a Glass factory outlet. Don't know when that closed.

Dexter Shoes/GameStation
This was once a place to simpy enter and buy JUST SHOES! Was later shut down and later became a GameStation, which probably didn't last very long. This place was rebuilt in favor of Charisma Jewlers, who moved from ACROSS ZE STREET, because of how SMALL IT WAS!
