    Is Your Local Sears or Kmart Closing?

    Published: Jan 5, 2018 · Updated: Jan 5, 2018 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    By Kevin Williams

    I have written on here a number of times that I have a "soft spot" for Kmart.  I used to do business with them, and it was exciting and fun and they carried some clout back in those days.  But, now?  Geez, they are a withering shell of their former selves.  Really sad.  I almost wish they'd just pull the plug on the whole thing instead of having to watch this once great chain die a slow, torturous death.

    The now shuttered Kmart in Hillsboro, Ohio

    The towns on the latest list of 100 plus closing reads like a tapestry of small-town America....geez, it just rips the fabric out of some of these towns.  Sayre, PA is losing their Kmart? Horrible....Bloomington, Indiana?  I've been to that one, how many college kids made  last minute dashes into that store to furnish their dorms?  SIGH, now it'll all just be memories....here is the latest list of closings:

    Kevin Williams - The Amish Editor Amish Cook Column

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
