Too bad. Often times the prices at KMart are better than at Walmart. The service at Kmart sure is a heck of a lot better. Maybe that is from employees working to keep their jobs.
The last time I was in Kmart I think there were more employees than customers in the store and the parking lot was empty. Sometimes I go there because it’s more convenient than dealing with the crowds at Wal-Mart.
Really? "...are going to be imminently shut down"?
And these people are demanding at least 15 US dollars per hour? For what? The danger of the imminency of shuttingdownerism? (Spelling Is Correct!)

It’s sister stores - SEARS, are not far behind. The current CEO has been a disaster (of course he will walk away with billion$$). When they started making most Craftsman hand tools in China I stopped shopping there.
It worked.
The closest KMart to me always smells like pee when you enter, not sure why but its always been like that..its in a mini mall along with a Trader Joes and CVS..havent been there in a while but when I have gone in its pretty empty
That hope and change isn’t working out too well isit?
Here’s the list of store closings! 78 are going this year.

I thought they already were shut down.
Sears is similarly hanging on by a thread.
If Sears reduced the cubic foot space of their stores by half, it may be easier to survive.
As the Democrats orchestrates.
Very interesting. We had 2 within a 10 mile drive from my house. One closed about 2 years ago. The other is still open. I shop there about once every 10 years. (I shop less than anyone I have ever known. For food, I shop.).
And probably 90% of the KMART dimwits vote Dem.
No sympathy from me you idiots.
They were one of the first big stores to go full bore on the LGBTWXY&Z agenda.
They better announce to the employees soon or they are going to be in a world of hurt with the Labor Dept notification rules/laws!

The Kmart near us is a very sad place. Its like the island of misfit toys after Santa told them to piss-off.
One of my early jobs many, many years ago was nightwatchman/janitor, locked in all night, pushing a broom, straightening up, swabbing decks and firing up the grill for 3AM lunch at a small town Kmart back east. Nice, decent folks. Worked with a part timer some nights, confess to watching a little extra TV on occasion, and got to know a lot of the customers and other employees from town and locally. Can’t say it was the best job I ever had, but it was the best I could get at the time and it was clean and decent. Not too many stores, or good entry level jobs, like this left.
I know the store here has already shut down. No loss, as far as I was concerned.
And the news source is Yahoo, which is worthless and up for sale. It is being bought by Verizon which sold its ground line business to Frontier. A fine mess....
Well ..... The closest K-Mart to me ..... Isn’t even close. I actually thought they were gone years ago!
I have a friend and sometimes business associate who sells a lot of product to Kmart. We spoke just this past week, and I asked him how they were on payment. He said excellent, but they were watching their aging list like a hawk regardless.
