Buying K-Mart was dumb. They should just jettison the name and try to rebuild Sears.

Buying K-Mart was dumb. Yup. One failing brand buying another failing brand just meant two failing brands.

Moving their premier tool lines to China while still charging Made In USA premium prices was an even bigger mistake especially since the Chinese tool quality was obviously worse. Also, it was K-Mart that bought Sears in an attempt to keep K-Mart afloat.

Buying K-Mart was dumb.You have that backwards. K-Mart bought Sears. At the time, a lot of folks thought it was a real estate play (as was K-Mart coming out of bankruptcy). There was some surprise that they tried to actually run it as a retail chain.

I was in a KMart a couple of weeks ago. The first time in ages. They’ve resurrected the blue light special.

It would appear the real estate has become more valuable than the brand name.
