The Kmart half a mile from me is still in business ... across the street from a Walmart. The Kmart was one of the 1960s stores with acres and acres of parking. I rode my bicycle(s) there frequently as a kid. I suspect strongly that the store bought and paid for its land many years ago, and needs only to bring in enough money to pay its current bills while sitting on land that is worth more than that of Walmart. In other words, it stands proudly in resolute opposition to Big Box stores who sell crap and rush customers out the door. It is a staring match to see which will leave the neighborhood first.
Sure, the Kmart is a Wayback Machine to the 1970s, but the LGBT staffers are kookie fun, far more helpful and intelligent than they probably need to be for such a job. They enjoy their work, and chat with everyone (mostly anti-Walmart customers) who visits. The prices are better than Walmart, so, for basic needs, it is my go-to store.
