Is the Kmart in Hollywood Florida saved from closing? They have added some new merchandise. There are no Halloween or Christmas items yet. Does that mean anything.

Two Things I Heard About Kmart....

Wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this. First is what I hear is that the rest of the "top" Kmarts are going to be converted into smaller Sears stores instead. Second, I heard that the Guam store being bought out by the Aussies was a false... — read more

Coming out of bankruptcy and doing the exact same thing

I can't believe this has been allowed. How can a company get away with letting stores degrade for over a decade only to close them in waves, then come out of bankruptcy and begin the process all over again. Can anyone name one single thing that... — read more

Most disgraceful going out of business sale ever!

Eddie ought to be ashamed of the way he has conducted the closing down of Kmart. Suppliers, associates, and customers deserved much better. If you can't make the stores look decent then you have no business being open to the public and exposing... — read more

The liquidator is in for a nasty surprise at our store

Kmart stores with cafes?

Are there any Kmart stores left (either just announced for closure or "go forward") with an operational K Cafe or Little Caesars? I haven't seen one in years, but I think they might still exist somewhere.

Kmart could have been saved in the early 2000s

When Kmart came out of bankruptcy the first time, they could have become a success. They had profits, a customer base, and the cash and financial resources to build new stores. Eddie is either a failed retailer or a cheat. Either he deliberately... — read more
