Kmart is still alive!

There are exactly 9 Kmart stores remaining, and they are now owned by private equity.

Kmart was so 1970s-1990s. Blue Light Specials. A knock-off discount version of anything. Still don't know how it went under. Lack of an integrated inventory-financial system? Suddenly they couldn't sell anything.
