But K-Mart bought Sears. Double albatross. K-Mart was always a
discounter but maybe 10 or so years ago they seemed to carry cheaper,
lower quality merchandise.
The biggest problem with K-Mart stores around here was they never
had stock on the shelves.

Same problem with Target for the short time they were here. The
shelves were half empty, and their prices were nowhere near what the
prices were in US stores. Not only that, but they didn't even PRETEND
to carry half of the products Canadians used to cross the border to
buy at Target stores.

They could have had a large portion of Walmart's lunch, along with
quite a few other stores if they had done it right - - -
