I am so sad; our KMart is closing and becoming a Sears
My husband and I met there in 1972. We both worked there. We still live in the neighborhood and don't go there often but tonight we both needed new jeans and I suggested we run up to 'our' KMart. We walked in and EVERYTHING was on sale. It looked like a big rummage sale. It was so sad. We got some great bargains. But damn, a Sears?

Even hubby seems kind of sad. This is a bummer. :cry:

4. Sears bought them two years ago
many K-Marts are being converted into "Sears Essentials".

3. I know the feeling--the KMart in my old neighborhood recently closed too.

So much nostalgia.

I dunno, there's just something about that old KMart that Wal-Mart could never duplicate. I just don't know what it is.
