I worked for Stienbachs in 1970's - 1980's originally in Asbury Park as a clerk, elevator operator (remember those), maintance, and supervisor. I also worked at Red Bank, Bricktown, and Seaview Square Mall. If any of my old friends run across this site and want to say "hi", hit me at rwcarr@hotmail.com Thanks again! This site is awesome.

Or else, why does it align with the old building, side entrance and all? And is that bump on top of the Target an old skylight, by ANY chance?

That Howland's clothed me well as a child, but my mother insisted on calling it by its previous name...Genung's maybe? Not sure if that's right or that's another renamed store I'm thinking of. Good to see Benny's is still there, if there's a nuclear war Benny's and roaches will be the only survivors. Ratel, I used to go to Waterfall with my mother all the time in the ’70’s and ’80’s.

In 1997 I worked for Steinbach in Waterford, CT before the store was remodeled. My former husband was in the Navy and we were transferred before any of the remodel was begun. I only heard about rumors of another company purchasing the name and stores. Obviously, management didn't want to discuss it. I would like to mention that the building in Waterfall Shopping Plaza was so run-down and decrepit and the Steinbach was only the one downstairs floor then. We actually had so much stock we stored a bunch of children's clothing up in the attic space on retail racks. It was so hot up there in the summer and just plain creepy. The entire site needed a lot of money dumped into it to bring it up-to-date. Most of the upstairs offices were empty. Mainly the customers were of the older generation who had lived in the Waterford/New London area for years-when the area was still safe, clean and pleasant. There were rumors of the new company planning to install an escalator. We all thought it was a bunch of nonsense. I'm shocked to see in the pictures the escalator was actually installed! Thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute. I had no idea Steinbach was all over the place. Amazing!

Really nice old fashioned department store. They had them things that went ding dong to signal the sales staff. I remember running up and down the big staircase too. They don't make them like that no more. My mom used to take me shopping in the Asbury Park store when I was a kid. Really nice old fashioned department store.

I remember shopping at Howland's in the Methuen Mall (MA) back in the late 70's and early 80's during my toddlerhood and childhood! My mom LOVED that store, and I remember when it went out of business. After it went out of business, we discovered Steinbach (probably something was sent to Howland's cardholders stating that they could use their cards at Steinbach and listed locations) in Concord, NH. I remember we went to that first plaza location; it was a really nice store, and my parents bought me a very expensive winter coat and charged it on their Howland's card. Steinbach never sent them a bill, so I got the coat free! Later, they moved to a mall, and again, it was a nice store. I haven't been to Concord since 1997, and have learned from your site that they're out of business... so sad :( Thank you all for remembering Howland’s/Steinbach!
