Seas/K-Mart to close 100-125 stores

*Guitar_Raph* · 12-28-2011, 05:28 AM

After over 125 years. Sears along with K-Mart will shut down 100-125 stores across the USA.

There are only 4 K-Marts left in Texas; Abilene, Kileen, Longview & Lufkin.

Remember going through the big & Chritmas catalogs when you were a kid? My brother threathen to get me ladies lingerie, especially an 18-hour bra (LOL). I always liked the musical instruments offered & got my first acoustic guitar for Chrisrmas a long tim ago.

Looks like there's no more than your life anymore, @ Sears. And as Dustin Hoffman quoted on Rain Man, "K-Mart sucks."

Yeah, I heard they were doing this in Chicago, but I didn't know they were doing this elsewhere. I think it's because of lack of sales.

That Sears in Ellicott City, MD I've only ever been in one time just because I was thinking, "What? I thought Sears were only found in malls!" As it turned out, there was once a small mall on US 40 where that closing Sears is located. And honestly, people can just drive 10 minutes to the next closest one from there. It's hard to believe that for most of the 20th century, Sears was the nation's largest retailer. I've left a couple comments on flickr's catalog images on the TMNT sections. Despite efforts to move online, it's prices either can't compete with competitors or simply have low quality for what you'll pay for. I feel that Wal-Mart really ate into KMart, and Target/Macy's/Home Depot/Lowe's (since there are so many of those around now) really ate into Sears. I realized this about 15 years ago in fact that Sears/Kmart's best days were behind them.
