I'm sorry to hear about K-Mart's problems, because they've been around forever! But as a lot of people have said, the merchandise quality was cheap, to put it mildly, and the stores looked as though they hadn't seen a mop in years. The last time I was in a K-Mart was about five years ago, and I remember wishing there was a Wal-Mart nearby (that was before I discovered Target, though). I just don't think they can compete with Wal-Mart and Target the way they're running things...it seems like K-Mart is just outdated, period, and they resist change. I don't like (gasp!) change any more than the next person, but if you're in the retail business, you've got to change with the market. Although, I did like their commercials that featured the Judds a couple years back...
