KMart is hurt by Wal-mart and had to redesign itself to compete. Kresge, not sure if they are still in business, I haven't shopped there in a long time. Remember Kat's, Woolworth's, Grandpa's, and many others that are now no longer in business. We do most of our shopping at Big Lots and Value City, deep discounts but beware the food items and other items that expire. Also shop at Dollar stores. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #128,117 by Nightowl 11/29/03 11:09:44 PM Reply	Re: Other stores Yep, I remember Grandpas, and Venture. Grandpas was one of my favorite stores. We mostly shop at Target and Kmart for the discount end. For odd things we'll hit the dollar stores, but not often, and rare occasions we'll check Big Lots. But that's just for general merchandise like toiletries, cleaners, etc. For good merchandise, like clothing as a general rule, we shop at the bigger department stores like Sears, J.C. Penneys, Famous and Dillards. Nightowl >8# "The difference between being immature and child-like is that one is what you are, and one is what you choose to be." Comment by Nightowl {O,O}
