Eclipse Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Well, the other day, I saw that my local Kmart had a "Grand Opening" sign up. I had no clue it was closed at all! Well, my mom headed to the store today, and they have completely changed the store! It only sells clothes now. Gone are the toys, gone are the electronic sections, gone are the the huge amount of video games...JUST clothing. They even had a cafeteria there, with hot dogs, pretzels, pizza, and ICEE drinks...ALSO GONE! WHY!!? That was the only place I can think of that they sold them ICEE things there! BOOOO!! Well, anyways, I bet this change had to do with the fact Kmart was going bankrupt. They had to cut some costs...
Youth N Asia Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Only clothes? Yuck. Their clothes were always awful. I had Kmart clothes for a little while as a kid untill I just flat out refused to wear them.
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 They probably couldn't compete w/ the likes of 1-stop stores like Wal-Mart and Target, or electronics stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. Get rid of those parts of your business, and concentrate on what you think you can do best.

Actually, I would go to a store that only sold toilet paper and Icee's. They would call it "Sip N Wipe".
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 Wal-Mart has pretty much driven them out of business. That and K Mart always had shitty customer service.
Ripper Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 AND they used Rosie Odonnell and Penny Marshall as spokespersons, and seriously, how could they compete with the Walmart CGI smiley face of pure evil?

kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 Can't remember the last time I stepped in a KMart...
The Czech Republic Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 I went to a KMart in March 2001, looking for some white paint to paint my basement. It was baaaaaaaaad paint.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) I think the last thing I got in a K Mart was a cheap(But suprisingly good widescreen print) of The Chinese Connection for $5. Like I said, I was amazed at how good it looked. Edited March 28, 2004 by Masked Man of Mystery
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Random Guy: Honey, I'm going to sip & wipe. Want anything? Guys Wife: You gross bastard! How dare you ask that!!! Guy: What?! I'm going to get toilet paper and some ICEE. Guys Wife: No you aren't. You wanted to give me a piece of used toilet paper with your poop on it. Guy: No I wouldn't. Devil Version: Yes you would. Do it! Do it! Do it! Guy: Fine. But not now, I'm going to Sip & Wipe. Devil: Then do it now!! Guy: I mean the store. Devil: You Homo! (vanishes) Guy: Eh...(walks away)
Giuseppe Zangara Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 This news is even worse than BBCW's attempts at being funny.

DerangedHermit Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 The only good thing I've ever seen in K-Mart are the 1999-early 2002 WWF DVDs for $5. And Little Caesars sucks ay-USS.
