My son told me Saturday that the KMart store here is going out of business. He said the one in Craig, where we used to live, is already shut down. I didn't shop there all that often but at times they did have some good deals.
A couple of years ago I did wonder how they were able to stay open and now they aren't. Is a Kmart store around you closing their doors too?

I grew up with Kmart just around the corner from my parents' house, but they closed down many, many years ago. Targets and Walmarts literally took over the area . . . the next Kmart was and still is a good half hour away. Apparently it's not closing, but I did read that there would be at least 3 closures in CA, just not local to us.

Walmart made a huge change for me. It was closer to where I lived so that is where I went. @JoiletJake posted a link below if you want to read it. I was never crazy about Target. I don't know why, just wasn't.

@bunnybon7 I know that a lot of the Sears stores are going out of business.

@velvet53 We did not lose the local KMart's that I am aware of. It is sad when businesses close. That means several people are losing their jobs as well.

@velvet53 Yes they are hard to find and it seems really hard to keep as well.

@Shellyann36 Yes they are. I just hope something happens to make things better in the US.

Ours in upstate NY went out of business a few years ago. When i visited my sister we always went there before going camping, they had great stuff. The last visit there we bought new folding chairs for camping... I don't think they have ever been in Canada or at leas not in my area.

@PainsOnSlate I am not sure how I feel about him. I just hope he isn't messing with us.

@velvet53 The US is going to see a lot more of this in the next 4 years , It appears his logo is just the opposite of make the US Better...

Ours did too. I was surprised that it did. Sears also closed down here.

Unfortunately yes - our Kmart closed a couple years ago. It's too bad because I liked their shoes and store-brand jeans.
