Now I'm scared...
I really did not believe Sears would go down and have to close all of its stores any time soon (if ever), but after Toys R Us and now Bon-Ton... I don't know what to think anymore... I am actually genuinely scared right now that it is a realistic... — read more

The end....
More Sears will be announced as well as Kmart. Trolls will be shocked as to how many. I was.
77 Million sq. ft. of retail closed so far 2018...
Versus the previous record of 108 million in 2017. Folks, it's only April and 2018 is 2/3 of the way to 2017's total. 2018 will be WAAY worse and there's no light at the end of the tunnel for 2019 either, with so many retailer's bonds coming due... — read more
If SYW is so great.....

The lie that Kmart is not available to the majority of Americans
It's clearly not true! While we're on it, doesn't that apply to every retail store? There are regional chains that are very successful and not present to everyone in the United States, there are big national chains that aren't everywhere. If a town... — read more

Anyone remember that awesome Daryl Worley song "I found love in a Kmart store"
Man, that was the best! I wonder if radio stations would play it if requested? Free advertising for our beloved Kmart! That song needs to become the Kmart anthem because Kmart is a survivor and like all survivors, it is going to thrive. The Kmart... — read more

Kmart price comparison with Target and Walmart by category: Clothing
Please note that for some items like socks and briefs they are packaged in different quantities for each retailer (hmmm I wonder if that's to make price comparison difficult) so for briefs and socks the price will be adjusted per unit so the same... — read more
What is with all these silly-a-- 'pro kmart', 'Kmart is fine', or 'kmart should change this' posts?
Is someone off their meds or special needs? Kmart and Sears are DEAD....they are slowly liquidating and past the point of no return. They are not going to remodel stores and put bathrooms up front, or change the layout of their stores, or add more of... — read more

Price comparison of Kmart v Target and Walmart
I've asked over and over for examples of items that are sold at both stores to price compare and yet all those claiming over and over again that Kmart is more expensive refuse to give me a basket of goods to compare. Now, why do I think if I choose... — read more

My design for Kmart
I only stepped foot in Kmart once in my life. I had to go to the bathroom but the bathrooms were way in the back. I suggest Kmart redesigned their stores so their bathrooms are near the cash register’s and/or front door. If they re-designed their... — read more
Walmart started as a David and now it is a Goliath
Kmart could come back stronger than ever, never underestimate the power of price in the discount world. It is Kmart's biggest advantage at the present. Bigger ebacks have happened. In 1962 Woolworth and S.S. Kresge were Goliaths and people would have... — read more
To the employees from a customer

The lie that Kmart is not present in most of the country
This is simply not true! Then when proof was requested... a statement that it would be too difficult to determine if Kmart was 100+ miles from most people in the country, so basically the assertion that it was 100+ miles away from most people in the... — read more
The lie that Kmart is more expensive has been defeated
