K-mart. In their glory days, they had their own brand of clothes and I didn't care when I heard she's wears Kmart clothes awh. then about 20 years down the line, they started with the janitor problems than couldn't afford other business issues.  lastly it look like it was a ghetto store and I was sad. this store was before Walmart and after (Big-N-Little and this store was a huge store had everything from furniture to the pets and a candy center). I loved walking through that store.

Unfortunately there have been lots of stores that have closed.  K-Mart closed, but before they closed most of stock came from Sears.  Toys R Us and Baby R Us closed and they had such good buys sometimes.  So many stores now is half stocked and you can't find what you want.
