@4meAndyou Kmart was big everywhere. The last time I was in Key West they still had one there.

@BrewCityBarfly They also had the Kenmore appliance brand too.

@Musicman Those were great brands. Still using my old Craftsman push mower, tools, and have fond memories of my Kenmore fridge, oven, washer, and dryer. I loved my old Kenmore electric stove, it had the best simmer. The fridge was still going strong after 20+ years and moving into the basement of the (then) new place. Wonder if the dude that bought it is still using it.

@BrewCityBarfly Sears definitely had some great brands. Their stuff seemed to hold up well too. You had confidence in them.

@Musicman Yeah so sad. It was a great store. 😥

@Lilymoon It's a shame they couldn't find an investor or a buyer.

@Musicman I know... end of an era. I almost cried when they closed.

@EarthGirl Yes they did. I was absolutely shocked they went under.

@Casheyane I didn't know that.

I want the K-Mart I remembered as kid. Not the Big K when they were dying


This was a typical K-Mart we used to shop at we I was kid

@HumanEarth It is nostalgic NOW but when it was around, it was as much an embarrassment as walmart is today. Basically synonymous with low quality junk.

I always thought people were just saying that when I was a kid but one day I saw this commercial.
It shows the CEO walking one of the stores and talking about revamping the place because people want to be proud of where they shop.

I thought, "Ahh so it IS a problem."

@Punches Truth be told Walmart, Target, K-Mart, Woolworths, Gimbel's, Goldmann's, Benjamin Franklin, and countless others stores all carried the same stuff.

They had were all known discount stores. So of course your going to get what you pay for at them kind of stores

Gimbel's & Goldmann's them two were geared more between the lower and upper middle class incomes. But did carry some crappy junk to for the poor to buy when they would shop for the holidays

@cherokeepatti Good morning 🌞

@Musicman Good morning
