Ames is my childhood. Walmart killed it and now it's a Job Lot. Still at the end of the day.. How will it compete any better now?

What I really miss is K Mart. Right until the end those mofos had VHS tapes for sale.

Nostalgia will probably help out a bit.

I will forever miss the Kmart store in Braintree. It closed for good in January 2016: https://superkmart.blogspot.com/2010/08/braintree-ma-big-kmart.html

The KMart in my town was one of the last. It held out until just before COVID. It had just begun its going-out-of-business sale when COVID started to get big, so they just called it a day. I wonder how much stuff is still in there.

Thank you

Ames killed Zayre, though. That was my childhood.
