Both stores time has come and gone. We had a K Mark in town for years
and it was changed to a Sears Essentials for a few years and now back
to K Mart. It was never very good and seems to be sliding. I go
there maybe twice a year because it is not crowded and if they have a
brand name item I'll buy it. Seems like the quality of the goods
keeps going down too.
