Current Events > Chronicles of a Big K-Mart death

(+) Yeah! (+)

Fond memories go bye-bye as it seems all retail stores are going out of business except Wal-Mart of course.

No one is interested in seeing such stuff?

I worked in a kmart once. Good riddance to the rest of them.

That place is depressing. I only go to this K mart now because theres a Little C's in there lol
---

K-Mart is where I bought a lot of my video games in the NES and SNES era.

Also, I still remember the day I bought my PS1 there in 1996 along with NBA Jam Tournament Edition.

My local K-Mart went out of business twenty years ago.

i'm laughing at the idea of a place in the US being named after Dundalk

My K-Mart was part of a mall and the part where K-mart existed has been blocked off by a wall for 20 years now.

.

20 minutes? I ain't watching that. *watches entire thing* The last time I went to Kmart was to buy Mass Effect 2 back in 2011. It took me 10 minutes to find someone to unlock the case.

I don't remember ever buying anything at k-mart except last minute cheap gifts for kids and maybe like sunscreen or something >_>. I think I went there three times in my life.

I am interested in this video though.

Gone and soon to be gone staples of the late 20th century shopping experience.

Target

K-Mart

Sears

JC Penney

Radio Shack

Radio Shack used to be completely different and it was probably a much more exciting place than the cheap retailer of knock-off Chinese products it turned in to in at least the early 2000s.

I don't keep up with this stuff very much but are Sears and Target really on their way out?

I don't really think target is on its way out, always packed when I go there
---

Target is doing fine (at least the one near me which is Super Target) it still feels modern is is clean

K mart and Walmart both have what I call the "Ratchet effect".

No matter what you are wearing, how smart, nice and neatly dressed you are. The moment your foot enters Wal-mart.. You become ratchet. If you are white, you become white trash.
---

Target has lost a lot of their customers since allowing men access to women's restrooms and dressing rooms.

You going to make me tear the k and the b off this k mart

There was a K-mart in town that I shopped at occasionally, and it was actually a pretty nice place. It closed earlier this year, and I kind of miss it.

Yeah we decided to do a Walmart2Walmart transfer the other day for my brother in law who needed some cash at the last minute. I have a cold and I felt fine for the first few minutes but then my nose started running and I started feeling about as trashy as the people around me and it felt bad man.
I guess not as trashy as the guy behind me who had vomit or something on his shirt and smelled like cat litter/feces.

The most valuable game I ever bought at K-Mart was TMNT Turtles in Time for SNES.

It probably worth a hundred bucks today and I still have it.

The only good K-Mart has ever been for me was clearance video games and the only Little Caesars in town. Now they don't sell video games at all anymore and other Little Caesars are around so it's pointless to go.

The closest k mart to me is still nice. Where do you guys live? I go there when i need to buy socks underwear, towels, laundry detergent, etc.

I always feel dirty in Walmart, I never go there to begin with, but the very rare occasions.

The last VHS movie I bought at K-Mart was Jurassic Park when it was released on video in like 1994.
