It's very sad that the old stores are closing.

I remember learning some girls in my high school class would buy K-Mart clothes and sew Ganto's labels on them.

(Ganto's was considered haut couture at the time.)

I still feel nostalgic at times for the old Kmart cafe - way, way in the past.

"My" K-Mart had a Radio Shack store next to it, and a Toys-R-Us across the street.  But now . . .

K-Mart closed in Canada back in the late 1990s.
At least we still have Toys R Us.

Online shopping and the covid pandemic are killing businesses. It's yet another new normal we just have to get used to.

I remember the old K-Mart commercials with Penny Marshall and Rosie O'Donnell
