re: #179 Belafon

K-Mart didn’t succeed here ultimately. It had merged with Sears before the Randian dude took over and destroyed it all.

I remember K-Mart from back in the ’70s…gettin’ those Traxx tennis shoes and grabbing a ham sandwich on the way out when they still had a deli counter. And of course, the K-Mart I remember going to in Glendale, CA also had a restaurant in-store, too.

K-Mart (and Sears) were both in long-term decline by the time Fast Eddie Lampert took over. His Randian buffoonery just hastened their demise.
