    I miss Kmart. Not 2000’s shitty Kmart but 1980’s Kmart.

    Ours had a deli you could buy clear plastic sleeves of sandwiches. Simpler times.

    I started (owned) and ran a small video store in a shopping plaza from 1987 to 1993. It was fun at 1st but working 7 days a week gets old and chains like Blockbusters and Hollywood opened cutting into my business. I saw the writing on the wall and got out before losing my shirt.

    Somebody already mentioned the K Mart blue light special. I miss those and Big Bear.

    Their slogan from 1997 is hilarious.
    - “All we did was listen”

    My personal favorite, “Give 'Em A Big Bear Hug!”
