Sears & K-mart just went out of business here. Hannaford too.

My kids are still sad over the loss of ToysRus. I am too. 
I'm still sad that Woolworth's is gone. Used to find everything in there from my school uniform to random bits and pieces at low prices! Also; ToysrUs, Maplin, BHS, Blockbuster, Barratts, Comet and Barkers of Kensington (was our local department store when we lived in central London).

Woolworth's is still in Australia, if you ever go there.
I hope we don't lose our Sears. I need to get a new fridge and stove and I want to buy them at Sears when I can save enough money.
I'm sad about Toys R Us too. We used to have so much fun going through that huge catalog that came in the mail every year when we were kids.My kids are still sad over the loss of ToysRus. I am too.
Sears made a huge mistake in picking up Kmart. It just sped up the decline IMO. I'm sad about the demise of Sears but couldn't care less about Kmart. The one by us is nasty. Always dirty, nothing is where it belongs and lots of damaged merchandise. Like I've said, I'm really surprised that they haven't let it go yet. I haven't been there in years. People who have been there have told me that nothing has changed since I've been there last. Their prices are no better than WM or Target either.
Yeah, I think the only people who missed K-Mart around here were shoplifters. They were all dirty and shabby and the employees didn't care. I didn't even bother to hit the clearance sales when they closed because I knew there wouldn't be anything good.
I do like Shopko and a lot of those are closing. They have stuff most big box stores don't have, although their prices aren't anything special.

LOL! I liked K-mart. Sometimes they had nice clothes and shoes. I like cheap stuff.

Yeah, Sears was great for appliances and electronics. I got my treadmill there years ago. They had nice clothing too.
Blockbuster and ToyRUs. I saw a headline that Sears was looking into opening up home stores. I was at work so I couldn't take time to read it. A lot of people like their appliances maybe they are going to hang on to that part of it.
Hey Denice I'm sorry this isn't about the topic but as a staff member I know you would have an answer but I was wondering if I could contribute articles to this site because I have a love for both writing and cats and would love the opportunity to write some. Is that even possible for a normal member like me? Thanks for your time
DH and I used to go to Kmart after Halloween to look for clearance decorations. They rarely had anything good.
