Also, the Fremont store is also closing its doors permanently for the same reason, which is of course, in my opinion, dismal Christmas 2015 and early 2016 sales.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421557629423614617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-55490919489560343462014-08-19T10:13:01.418-04:002014-08-19T10:13:01.418-04:00Eddie Lampert: Hedge funders first, Kmarts and SEA...Eddie Lampert: Hedge funders first, Kmarts and SEARS stores lastRaul Sanchez-Alvaradonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-34256583836424791292013-09-02T15:51:09.061-04:002013-09-02T15:51:09.061-04:00I loved Super K, and I miss them.I loved Super K, and I miss them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-65682114589894915322012-10-22T13:37:51.211-04:002012-10-22T13:37:51.211-04:00Good by Big "K"!Good by Big "K"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-29216906167563068662011-10-08T17:24:40.509-04:002011-10-08T17:24:40.509-04:00Here's what I saw on BusinessWeek (a comment):...Here's what I saw on BusinessWeek (a comment):<br /><br />We've just seen what hedge funds have done to banks and insurance companies. How is no one realizing that Lampert has hedged his bet here and that he and his cohorts will make money if Sears loses? In this current retail scenario, it will hurt consumer confidence now more than ever if Sears and Kmart are empty shells. Lampert's lack of investment and poor retail management has contributed to double-digit sales declines in both Sears and Kmart for the last three years. What happens when the revolving line of credit he has against SHLD expires in February of 2010? My guess is that there is a liquidation; and Lampert makes money in the long-term by moving any of the valuable brands over to KCD IP prior to the bankruptcy and leaves Sears Holdings with nothing of value. Wake up people! This guy is contributing to an already catastrophic retail environment. He is driving Sears and Kmart into the ground and will make money by putting a company out of business. He's the anti-Warren Buffett.<br /><br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />THIS IS HAPPENING. Lampert and his goons are killing the stores and outsourcing the best brands.Pseudo3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848368606946150471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-53729769323659749902011-09-09T21:21:20.816-04:002011-09-09T21:21:20.816-04:00BAD NEWS; Walmart is reopening layaways in all the...BAD NEWS; Walmart is reopening layaways in all their stores by november.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-53360774847877077802011-09-01T12:41:43.833-04:002011-09-01T12:41:43.833-04:00Here's the problem.

They managed the grocery store like a kmart, no help and being non- competitve. when the cost of groceries are a big part of consumers budget, why on earth would you shop at a store like the kmart supercenter, where the prices are MSRP. Only cherry pickers shop at kmart. Lets face it, incompetent people at the top, who know nothing about the grocery business, who pretended they did. There's more turnover in the corporate grocery division than in a stack of pancakes. They just should have left it alone when Dave Marsico was in charge ( even though he had the personality of a lemon ), at least he knew how the business should have been run and how competitive it had to be. Oh well, at least most grocery stores know the business and thats where the people shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-17852600735066370032011-08-22T05:28:16.587-04:002011-08-22T05:28:16.587-04:00They should have managed those businesses well.

Surprisingly, these stores seem to be very busy at times, even though all three are within a mile of a Walmart. Also, Kmart Supercenter ads still come in the paper. The store in Lorain has made many improvements since a Walmart Supercenter opened very close by last year. There used to be five Super Kmarts,but the Medina and Fremont stores were converted to Big Kmarts. The remaining stores I know of are in Lorain, Brooklyn, and Mentor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927373923616557120.post-81571517687767211492011-05-19T23:42:01.268-04:002011-05-19T23:42:01.268-04:00/shrug
