Sears to close 100-120 stores after poor holiday sales

[paul_376]

I remember as a young kid, we used to go to the Kmart off Loop 12 in Oak Cliff.. I used to run around looking for the blue light special, and when I found them, I yelled at my mom, ACA AMA ACA VENTE!

Does anyone want to take a road trip to Killeen with me to go to a K-Mart?

You are a brave man if you step foot in there....I haven't been in that one in over 10 years....It is way to scary for this chick.....hell, I even avoid the Walmart in Killeen and Copperas Cove. For that matter, I go to Marble Falls to the Lowes and Home Depot there just because the service is 100 x's better......

But it's Sears! They are an american icon we can't let them go under! I think the government should step in and help them out.

They're not going under, they're downsizing.

What ? You are crazy why are you scared of the walmart in killeen ? And Cove too ? You have to be kidding me. Hell go to the walmart in arlington on cooper if you want to see a freak show.

Why

because it is thug central....the mall is another place that I avoid at all costs. 15-20 teenage thugs "hangin'" out is not my idea of fun....they won't move over when you are walking, they actually aim for you....just to see if you will budge. Hell, they shut our Putt Putt down because of a gang shooting.....yeah...I would rather go an hour out of my way than join up with the pita kids in Killeen/Copperas Cove

It isn't the freak show...and no, I wouldn't go to either of those.....I will drive to Austin or Marble Falls....the service is better, the prices are better...(no military "tax"..)......

Whether they are weak ass military brats or not....I prefer avoiding them....And the Cove Walmart is about as bad in customer service as those in Killeen/Harker Heights. and Cove is not a hick town....maybe at one time, but it isn't anymore...half assed maybe....Now Lampasas....that is a hick town.....I should know, that is where I went to HS.

I only go there for tools

I hope they don't close the one in Plano off 75. I go in there with fists full of busted sockets and ratchets with marks from breaker bars on them and they replace them all for me with no questions.

No Texas stores? That's surprising. Our Sears is a dump, it smells weird, and there are never more than two customers in it.
