Valentine's in Euclid 1946: Beachland Deprt, Bluem's, Wildwood Floral, Foy Drug, Gornik's

In February 1946, Valentine’s Day arrived in Euclid, Ohio with a sense of renewed optimism. World War II had ended just months earlier, and local businesses were once again turning their attention to romance, celebration, and the simple joys of everyday life. Newspaper ads from that season offer a fascinating glimpse into how love was marketed in a city finding its footing in the postwar world.

From neighborhood jewelers and florists to candy shops and department stores, Euclid merchants filled the pages with heartfelt promises, modest luxuries, and practical gifts meant to say “I love you” without excess. These Valentine’s Day advertisements capture more than sales pitches - they reflect the values, styles, and emotions of a community eager to embrace normalcy and affection after years of sacrifice. Let’s step back to 1946 and explore how love was advertised in Euclid during this unforgettable moment in history.

Rise and Fall of Euclid Super Kmart 1200 Babbitt Rd

It's the Spring of 1995, and Euclid, Ohio already has a K-Mart. The one on Euclid avenue, up on the hill. The old Euclid Clarkin's. In January of 1995, Twin Valu shuttered it's hypermarket at 1200 Babbitt road, leaving almost 400 people without jobs.

Since then, the 180,000 square foot retail giant has sat vacant. City officials toy with the idea of rezoning the commercial property back to industrial use. Before Twin Valu erected it's warehouse like superstore, Addressograph Multigraph Company, a newly merged entity, opened it's plant on the site in 1932. AM International remained here until 1978, relocating to Los Angeles. The plant stayed open until October 1982.

Until it was formally announced in October 1980 that a 100,000+ sq. ft. Kmart would be moving in. 26100 Euclid Avenue became the 134th or 102nd Ohio Kmart, and had an opening date of November, 1980.
