My K-Mart is now a Ghost store - they closed it last year.
There was a Kmart about 30m from my house. It closed a few years back. Its ‘associates’ were stealing them blind. Repeated attempts to remedy the situation weren’t met with much success because the local constabulary was the same demographic as the associates.
Now we just have Tarjay and WallofChinamart. I despise both. I really hate the mall anymore, even the strip malls.
Kmarts have been trashy experiences for a long time. I visited one in El Paso in the mid 90’s that I literally had to kick aside merchandise off the floor to walk in the womens department. Yeah, I’m gonna buy that stuff.
