I didn’t know there were any K-Marts still open, much less four. Well, make that three now. A K-Mart in New Jersey is shutting down on April 16. I wasn’t in Lincoln when that one closed. But I was visiting family in Grand Island when that store was closing down. I found a heated blanket at a decent price, but even at “going out of business” prices, there weren’t any real deals. I think that’s part of the reason there are only three left; they didn’t have good prices any more. And even though they tried to create a more upscale image with stuff from Martha Stewart and other celebrities, they couldn’t escape the low quality stigma that I remember them having even when I was a kid.
One of the last three is also in New Jersey. Then Bridgehampton on Long Island in New York and Miami, Florida. Yes, home of speedboats, celebrity hangouts, sandy white beaches, and K-Mart……. Welcome to Miami.
