Pep Boys Saginaw




This business went up and OUT in no time flat. Just down the road from Sears Tire and Service and Firestone it was one of the largest full service Automotive places in town. Bigger than Discount Tire, Goodyear, and Firestone together. Maybe Saginaw wasn't ready for it, who knows. But if you look in the Meijers parking lot across the street you will now find ANOTHER big tire service business, "Bell" Tire and Service. Gee, who wants to re-occupy an empty building anyway, right? Good luck to Bell. The Pep boys building remains another VACANT building adding to Saginaw's "Ghosttown" image.

Dairy Queen Bay Road Saginaw


For years this was Dairy Queen. After closing just last year, another Japanese or Chinese place came in and later went out of business. Now another eye sore on Bay Road.

Chi Chi's Bay Road Saginaw


This business has been closed for some time (like years). It leaves a broken up parking lot, some poorly maintained landscape, and a BIG eye sore right across from the Saginaw Fashion Square mall. The only other business in that vicinity to close in the last decade was Harmony House, but that was soon replaced by Mens Warehouse. According to the signs recently posted, it appears there is in auction which means FINALLY something will be done with this nasty building.
