The original K-Mart store (sometimes called Krap-Mart or K-Fart nowadays) was opened in Garden City, Michigan in 1962. That icon of Americana is in the process of closing down with an everything-must-go sale currently under way.
Retailing is getting rough in a brick-and-mortar environment. There is still open speculation that the whole chain may close down in the not-to-distant future. That would be a shame. There is a large, older K-Mart not far from my house and it makes a handy reference point for giving folks directions. That being said, it would make one hell of an indoor go-kart track.
