Purely transactional now… in Aus KMart has done the same thing… good luck finding any variety or brands there, it’s just one cheap brand that they own that does one type of everything… it’s so disposable and crap and boring

Kmart in the states in the 90s was amazing, had a little concession area with hot dogs and popcorn and icees

One of my fondest memories as a kid is sitting in a booth at our local Kmart, just talking with my dad as we enjoyed our Icees/soda. Now that store is just a vacant building with boards over the windows...

That’s a great memory to have, thanks for sharing :) The one in my town is all boarded up too.

Aw, that's a shame- although I think there's still some stores elsewhere (like Guam). So maybe there's still similar memories being made?
