The boycott plus other mismanagement mistakes brought the Blue Light Special to its knees.

Tacky stores and not focusing on market niche helped bring about their demise.

How about consistently dirty stores and crummy products for sale at crummy prices? How about stupid PC spokespeople like Robustly Abominable? How about surly employees who look at you like you are an alien from another planet when you ask for help?

That is why I shop at Wal-Mart before K-Mart, and why that great sucking sound you hear is the sound of K-mart going down the toilet. It's just a matter of time.

Agreed. Why do their stores look so...old and worn? I thought KMart was trying to renovate them?
