- Abandoned Payless Shoe Source (I Got Inside). 100 Subscriber Special. I was doing another typical video of an abandoned place when I was surprised by the front door opening in my hand when I checked. I was hesitant but decided to go inside for a quick look around.
I've closed a few of them, and yeah... they're pretty unexciting.
Anything that's salvageable, (including the endcap/back side rack mirrors) tends to be absorbed by other stores.
Payless filed for bankruptcy, but not to close. It was to renegotiate leases on older/struggling stores between April and August. In the end, they closed around 400, I think. Many others were renegotiated and didn't close.
Those are not padlocks. They are key boxes for realtors. There is usually a combination that opens the box for access to keys that open the building for the realtor to show the property to prospective buyers.
chipmaster56 Ahh, I see. I wondered what their purpose was. Thanks for letting me know!
chipmaster56 I wonder if it be nifty to turn one of these old buildings into homeless homes you know fix em up or better yet for your own personal use turn it into your home😉
WallieB26 Hey watch it with those locks things they could have alarms attach to em.

@@gordenwood7853 the rent on a commercial building is way more than a house you'd pay triple what you would if you'd just rent a house or apartment
Lol wow I can't believe that door was just wide-open like that. But I know exactly how you felt when you pulled it and it came right open in your hand 😂
That Nate Guy On RUclips It was such an incredible feeling when that happened. I was originally not going to go in especially after I watched your video where you stated about getting in trouble later by getting a subpoena in the mail. I figured if I state why I'm inside, hopefully I'll be okay. I was nervous but it was rewarding when I finally walked in. I left it exactly the way I found it. I actually had to cut video because of some cussing because I was excited. Haha
LOL!
There's a Payless in Arnold that closed a few months ago. www.google.com/maps/@38.4388427,-90.3755888,3a,30y,0.71h,93.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sz6ZODKe45AIjdmJZQrqdFA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656. I can remember how shocked I was to see it closing! But I'll film it soon!

I went to the abandoned Ames in Barre, Vermont back in 2009 (logos and street signs were still intact at that time) and when I stood in front of the automatic doors, they opened. I believe the building was just about to be prepped for either a demolition or remodel though which would explain why the doors were operating. It was pretty crazy though. I had taken a few photos and videos but haven't been able to get into the hard drive I have it all saved on in years
I absolutely love your urban exploration videos. You're so real and refreshingly respectful to the buildings you film. Any tips for a new urban explorer?
Cool video. I love the videos when you get inside!
Those padlocks on the handles are actually key storage boxes the realtor uses when they have properties for sale. They put in a combo and the keys for the house or building are inside. They do this so they can show interested clients the porperty.
3:37 how did you get in
Great job! I too can't believe you got inside! I agree with what you said,
If anyone gets inside an abandoned building, just film, no taking or touching
Stuff. I see nothing wrong with looking in cabinets and drawers, there isn't
Anything in there, by seeing you videos. I know you woulden't ake anything,
But curiousity is peaked in an empty building.
This was one of the first vids I watched with Wallie… 5 years ago! I used to drive past this location before it closed. Daaaamn!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
The padlocks have keys in them for realtors to show the property.
I can't remember exactly when it closed, but it was pretty recent. I've wanted to get into the abandoned JCPenney across the street for years now, I used to shop there as a kid. The UHaul building was an abandoned Montgomery Ward for years as well. I was happy to see it finally getting used, but it was bittersweet because I was hoping to get in there before it got torn down or occupied.
They could put a blockbuster there!
I hesitate to ask but wonder what you found so exciting about this closed store. They are so mundane on the interior. I should know, I was a manager with them for 25 years. Notice that the back end caps are missing. They were mirrored and very heavy, and likely removed to be used in other stores.
I miss payless. So sad. That. They closed 😭😭😭😭
I worked for Payless in the 70s! Probably going down the tubes because we had thefts daily! Finding old stinky shoes in the new boxes. New shoes gone. And they treated their employees crappy too!
Can't believe you got inside. Just wow!!
Dude love your videos it's great seeing another local person doing this I'm originally from Butler PA now live in ford city PA my luck with abandoned videos didn't work very well so I have done a mix i haven't uploaded in a while I just mainly watch now but anyway thanks for the videos
Goes to show "always try the front door" as you just never know your luck...
Awesome that you got inside.. more so that you didn't get caught! I enjoyed..
I remember that logo. Good memories....
I love this video
Hi Wallie, Payless was great in its day but now there is so much competition and on line shopping. RIP Payless.
Linda Goreham where I'm at payless is still huge. Idk.
It still exists where I live but no one goes there. Idk about other places but the one near me just sells bad fakes of name brand shoes.
Those Are Not Pad locks On The Door Handles They Are key Combination Boxes . There Are keys Inside For Realtors To Get Inside The Store.
Awesome video man. Love your videos. keep'em coming! 😁
jeremymalatt317 Definitely! As long as I can keep filming, I'll keep bringing you guys videos!
WallieB26 Awesome man, sounds good
That was cool as hell man. There's always an extra thrill when you're able to get inside. Nice find.
EndlessReprieve Agreed. And thanks man!
Those are key safes,locked inside are the door keys for realty agents to access the inside to show prospects or contractors to gain access when needed.🔑A careless someone forgot to lock the door or forgot the combination to put the key back in keysafe hanging on door so just left it open for agent.💼The company filed for bankruptcy so liquidators most likely left door open after tagging store fixtures.That place an easier sell for either retail or office use guessing leaving it up to buyer to fix leak around HVAC vent in front otherwise place in pretty good shape.👌
It closed only a week or two before you showed up.
Austin That explains why it was so clean inside and out. Thanks for the info!
I used to go past it all the time going to the baseball field down the road
Very rarely will the front door be unlocked in an abandoned. Even more rarely will said place happen to be in near mint condition.
This was some pretty cool footage.
Seriously though, I don't see the point in putting locks strictly on the door handles aside from pure intimidation.
Tempo Quill I agree. I could easily see those locks being a deterrent. I think someone just forgot to lock the door when they were walking out of the place. I just hope my video hasn't been seem by the wrong crowd which would give them the idea of vandalizing the place. That's not why I explored it. I just explored it out of curiosity and to help feed my hobby of urban exploration.
You should be just fine. I don't think vandals would actively search for the Payless explored in the video, even if they were within the vicinity. It also helps if the surrounding area has a low crime rate.
Tempo Quill Not sure about the crime rate but from what I've always known it's been okay there.
Oh. Okay.
I used to live in Pennsylvania. And I have been to Lower Burrell. Nice enough place. Never heard anything really bad. The last time I was there I believe I drove past a Montgomery Ward that had closed. It was about 2003
I used to go to that exact payless shoesource
they closed down because of 2 employees, strange behavior, sniffing shoes these guys were
Do know when it closed or just how it closed
That's really interesting that they still have the decks and benches
Good job.
I know where this Payless is at ! I'm familiar with the area.I can't believe payless went out of business ! They had excellent priced shoes for every budget ! 5 $ for a pair of tennis shoes,15 $ for a pair of high heels.I bought a good many pairs of shoes at Payless.
hi wallieb26 I love your vids you are so amazing at what you do keep up the good work:)
Thats awesome!! I live 5mins from here..
I am sure the last Realtor that showed it forgot to lock it before they put the key back in the lockbox
Easy entry is always a bonus, Likes. Your video
Payless shoes were always uncomfortable. At least the ones I bought. I had a pair of sneakers with a hidden platform that hurt like hell. They looked nice on the outside, but your feet would feel like you were on a march after a few minutes. I had a pair of lug soled Mary Janes that came out in the late 90s? Maybe 2000. They had a buckle. They looked nice, but were a pain to wear even though they were my size. I probably have an old pair lurking somewhere in a garage. Cheap shoes that never lived up to their promise.
You should do abandond houses&other abandond buildings like abandond theaters
I miss this store
Should save the converse for me! They'd last longer with me than there and I'd love to give them a home
I'd better get in there to do a full in depth review of that restroom!
The GearShots DO IT! Do it while you can. LOL It was really clean in there!
Make sure that toilet flushes
Lower Burrell PA is where my Nana and Pap live!
I like when people explore abandond places
Lol like the some really had to piss that was funny to me
nathan crawford Lol. I love saying silly things like that.
I literally live 10 minutes away from there. 😁
going back to school shopping in the early 2000s that's the only store my mother would take me and my sisters to. I loved the store because School shoes were the only thing I would get.
Those "padlocks" contain a key so the real estate can open the building
I like your videos and that you film just to document and not steal or vandalize
Payless was NOT the place to be getting shoes in the 80's!😂😂 My brother and I had all the "Imitation" shoes😂😂
Y'All should come out to San Antonio, Tx there are some abandoned buildings and also there is an abandoned arby's restaurant in New Braunfels, Tx
I haven't seen a payless shoes open since 2017. Their sneakers were usually crap but their dress shoes weren't bad at all. Got some good deals there in the past.
1:04 had me geekin lmao, and pad locks are the lock boxes with the keys inside
I guess they had to close because Al Bundy insulted one too many Fat Ladies HA HA
Hey, Awesome Video Dude, Enjoyed, Thnx :)
Criminal Trespass, nice job and you even caught it on film.
Ah, stop being a moral idiot.
I’m sorry your stepson didn’t succeed in burning down your house.
You ever poop your pants? At Midnight?
3:44 a intro reference
Those padlocks on the door are realtor lock box which has a key inside for the entrance
Those locks hold the keys to the building
Wonder if Amazon put it out of business, so many sources for cheap shoes online. No need to even go shopping at a brick and mortar place.
Before I started watching this video right now I got a covid19 commercial
Love the videos 👨 keep them coming
According to the Payless website, it was scheduled to close back in April.
bookem0984 Are all the Payless shoe stores gone? I remember one in Warminster, PA. Used to have a K-Bee Toy store in the same strip mall.
@@samanthab1923 yes
The locks on the door are for real estate agents. They actually contain the building key,
Mister Hat I realized that from another comment on a different video. I was wondering. Now I know! Thanks for letting me know. I had no clue.
WallieB26 the will open it’s because the logo is on the signage when it’s closed so forget about that
That's the cleanest Abadoned store I evee seen with the door left unlock surprisingly vandals haven't gotten to the store with spray paint & graffiti
The power actually could have been off, those exit signs actually have an internal battery inside to keep them lit in case of an emergency where there is a power outage, youd always be able to find the exits, usually they are LEDs so they could stay lit up without power from the building for months or even years before the battery inside craps out. But I cant believe that someone forgot to lock the door back 😂🤦♂️🤷♂️
6:13 that rack is for the audio system in the store.
Hey, man. The stores are going out!
New fan of yours. Keep up the great work man! If you’re ever in the cleveland area, check out the old balley total fitness on Brookpark rd.
Or the old diy Home Warehouse in warren, Ohio that still has signage up!
we have so many stores of Payless Shoe Source in kuwait totally cool place
So thats where they all went ehh...Id love to see some vids of westen stores in that part of the world. That would be intresting
Lucky man to get in the abandoned store
Those things on the door handles have the keys in them.
The padlocks are realtor locks, if you had the combination you will find the keys to th he building inside it
Keep em coming wallie
Those are for the keys to the door.
Why no loading dock???? That's the thing I can't wrap my head around. Did the new merchandise just come in through the front door??? Would be rather hard to roll pallets around on that carpet through the front door. Even going thru the back door with a handtruck would be a major PITA, can you imagine trying to lug a stacked handtruck with shoe boxes up 5-6 steps.
I'm guessing all deliveries were via hand truck thru the front door. Still doesn't make sense to me.
The combo keys are for showings during real estate
I Love This Channel.
I got my shoes from payless. I never knew they were doing so bad.
Exit signs have a battery backup for when there is a power outage at night.
Them padlocks has a key in them.
Those two pad locks are the spare keys
Lock box that has a key for the doors
The blue lockbox is a Supra real-estate box. any agent in good standing with the MLS/Realtor assn can open it with their cell phone. the other one is a generic lock box, don't know whose.
Wallie, those padlocks are for realtors
great video
The padlock on the front door has the key in it, all you have to do is get the code
it looks like emergancy power on "switched off at breakers
, i am goign say those signs on battery power, since they should be emergancy lights on scattered on
Battery power for four months? There's not a bank of batteries in the back...
Tony Thatcher most emergency lights have a 90 minute battery power
I like your videos, I just found your channel by chance, but be careful, either someone will see you go in and call police or there might be a silent alarm, I watch lots of haunted buildings, do you ever worry one of these places could be haunted? I would be.
Awesome video very nice channel so I subscribe to your Channel
I worked for payless my store closed also looks like my store in Whitehall pa
Barbara Robb Whitehall pa? That store isn't closed. I work at Payless in Lehigh valley and Whitehall is still up. Trexlertown closed.
Those padlocks on the door are actually lockboxs for the keys to the front door
Hoping you find a pair of xj900 lol!
It would be cool to get the signs of places like this that close. Probably would get arrested trying to take the sign down though😁
I lived in Alabama and most of the Payless shoe stores closed around me.
I had been in a Payless shoe source when it was open
I do not see any no trespassing sighing anywhere. You're good. I liked it. Kinda boring one though
But thanks!
Awesome video
the padlocks have a door key in it for the realtors
My abandoned one got turned into a dream dentist
