The familiar sights and sounds are still there: the scuffed and faded floor tiles, the relentless beige-on-beige color scheme, the toddlers' clothes and refrigerators and pretty much everything in between.

There's even a canned recording that begins, "Attention, Kmart shoppers" — except it's to remind folks about COVID-19 precautions, not to alert them to a flash sale over in ladies' lingerie like in the days of old.

Since its founding in 1962, Kmart's decline has been slow but steady, brought about by years of falling sales, changes in shopping habits and the looming shadows of Walmart, Target and Amazon

The ghost of Sam Walton killed off K-Mart way before Jeff Bezos was even a player in the game.

Last Kmart I was in about 6 years ago had devolved into a damn swap-meet. It was on its last legs and all the employees knew so they didn’t do shyt for upkeep or basic cleaning and just ran out the clock.
