Eclipse 0 Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I would go to a store that only sold toilet paper and Icee's. They would call it "Sip N Wipe". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted March 24, 2004 Wal-Mart has pretty much driven them out of business. That and K Mart always had shitty customer service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DerangedHermit 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
