Kmart winding down

[twintubdexter]

When it comes to Sears and Kmart...

Just remember what the late Rona Barrett used to say..."just keep thinking those gooooooooood thoughts".

Yes, Rona

said that every morning after the Hollywood gossip segment, then Erma Bombeck came on with "if life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits?

Cheyenne K-Mart closing

Employees (including manager) found out in the local newspaper.

Our local Sears (worst Cl**t*r F**k in the State) will be kept open.

Which is stupid beyond words - everybody in town like the K-Mart, nobody patronizes this Sears.

Picked up quite a few good bargains, including a Chromebook I've always wanted to try. Saved a few hundred dollars, in all.

Sad, though - Lambert has a lot to answer for.

They just have no real direction...except that he wants it to be a "tech" company. But this story is being played out with other stores too...S/K have just been going downhill longer. I always thought they should have acquired or merged with a wholesale club like BJ's...put Sears and KMart under one roof....Sears would handle the tools, appliances, yard equipment, and automotive...the other side would be KMart with your traditional wholesale club stuff...perhaps offer smaller quantities as well to draw in more people. They could expand on their Shop Your Way by it being a membership fee to get in...just like the others. Would certainly have given them an edge.

It's too bad Super K's have gone by the wayside. They were my first "supercenter" experience and they had an outstanding product in the 90's and early 2000's. If anything they should combine Sears/KMart in rural areas where there is no competition. They would do very well.

Maybe I should apply to take over? haha

Joe,

your second to last post made my day!
Wanting to be a tech. company is the latest fad. Like all the .COM's that went belly up in 2000. Now every company has a .COM
Remember Y2K? It didn't happen until 2008.
