I wonder if Sears Holdings is now on the cusp of becoming a real retailer once again now that the chain has been downsized. First stabilization then growth? Go into Kmart and there are real products, real promotions, real zeal. It seems that Kmart is having some much needed life and branding injected into it. The fact is that Kmart is not Walmart or Target, it's Kmart and there is reason to visit a Kmart because they have products that you just don't find elsewhere. They also serve a lot of communities that aren't served by others.

The key for Kmart's success is to "serve a lot of communities that aren't served by others." Well said and true.
