Looks like it hasn't happened yet, but it could.

 

[dullard]

I haven't heard about it yet. Just yesterday Kmart said they wouldn't file... I'll keep looking though.

 

[jaybittle]

They haven't officially declared it, but they are thinking about it..

See USAToday link..

cheers,

[Dually]

I doubt it, they own lots of stores.

 

[StageLeft]

They suck .TARGET FOREVER!

 

[wQuay]

I hope so.

 

[Kanalua]

Wal*Mart, baby...

K-Mart is a suck!

 

[Hanpan]

YEah less competition and higher prices are good.


YEAH...


:disgust:

 

[Scarpozzi]

Kmart has 2100 stores and my job is sorta dependent on their livelyhood so PLEASE SHOP THERE...at least to bring their stock outta this slump....

 

[charliebrown]

That's going to be one hell of a closeout sale when they start to liquidate everything!

 

[NewCompGeek]

remember house to home? they went out after a short while
but the prices are still high after the sales that they are having

 

[wQuay]

<< YEah less competition and higher prices are good. >>



oh, Kmart is just so competitive :disgust:

 

[yakko]

Damn! That will leave just Target to shop at.

Me too. All this K-Mart bashing is suck.

 

[Ryan]

Good, they aren't that great anyway. Target is sooo much better

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

My highschool buddy works for PriceWaterhouseCoopers in Chicago and he had KMart as a client in Detroit (Troy). He knew they were doomed years ago. Their Management was shot to hell. Too many old timers with no new ideas. They blew it.

 

[Pocatello]

That would be too bad if true. K-Mart is a good place to buy affordable fishing tackles.

 

[PsychoAndy]

Target is better, i must admit but I don't like Wal Mart that much. Only thing it's good for is convienence. Besides, my KMart isnt THAT bad. They got some ok stuff, and the occasional soda deal

 

[amdskip]

K-mart would be better if the stores were clean and the floors weren't 20 different shades of white.

and the if the aisles weren't cluttered with stock and misplaced items.

 

[VBboy]

Kmart is pretty cheap. They have some low-quality stuff, but some of what they carry is not that bad...

Don't mess with Kmart, or yer messin' with me

 

[Dragon23]

One of there biggest problems is there waste. I have been hauling for them for over seven years and they waste money. They have what they call there NSC dept, where they ship there slow moving products out to other DC's. They will ship a 53ft trailer out with 3ft of frieght on it going to a DC in Florida. This is a daily accurence tell me that is not a waste of money, $1.10 a mile will add up fairly quicky. That is just a fraction of the problems they have. There always trying to fix what isn't broke instead of fixing what is.

 

[Burnt]

That's crazy.
