They've been there for over a month now, it was reported in some other thread...Brad wrote:I just drove down Maple Street and there are guys out with the store closing signs for the Kmart at 132nd and W. Maple Rd. in Eagle run.
I did a search and didn't see it. Find it and I will merge it.Coyote wrote:They've been there for over a month now, it was reported in some other thread...Brad wrote:I just drove down Maple Street and there are guys out with the store closing signs for the Kmart at 132nd and W.

You reported it in the No Frills thread back in September.Coyote wrote:They've been there for over a month now, it was reported in some other thread...Brad wrote:I just drove down Maple Street and there are guys out with the store closing signs for the Kmart at 132nd and W. Maple Rd. in Eagle run.
I would think that they would at least stay open for the holiday season!bbinks wrote:I think their closing date is next week. I'll ask a source and get a definite date.
December 7th is the tentative last day. Store took its last merchandise delivery the last week of October.
Thank god. That place is a mess. I would love to see that end of the building plus the old convenience store leveled and something new put in there.Coyote wrote:Now it sounds like the Millard KMART (Stony Brook) is closing, leaving only the 50th St and CB stores in the Metro
That stinks I like K-Mart. I have been to K-mart at least 3 times this month already. Sure K-Mart is poorly stocked and ran by total idiots but I have loved for the past 10 years going in that K-mart and having the entire store to myself. Its always peaceful to go walk around in that place. Going to miss em big time. Bad news.Coyote wrote:Now it sounds like the Millard KMART (Stony Brook) is closing, leaving only the 50th St and CB stores in the Metro
No this is not good. You got K-mart going and the Supersaver grocery store next door will be closing right behind it. Then whos going to go in that building? That building will sit empty for a decade or two and then they will come in and bull doze it down.RNcyanide wrote:Thank god. That place is a mess.

You seem to have not noticed that the Hy-Vee right next door now has SuperSaver in the inescapable "sleeper hold" and is slowly choking them out.TheSeventhBrat wrote:Super Saver isn't going anywhere.GRANDPASMUCKER wrote:No this is not good.

Yeah, the section is good. I shop for the discounts too. Can really save some money. I also agree on the sausages. Very good selection. I basically shop Fareway and Supersaver. I try to go to HyVee but the prices seem to high for what I buy. Plus the Madison Ave HyVee has the worst parking lot ever. Built on a slope and the carts don't stay put when loading the groceries!Coyote wrote:One of the attractions that saves SuperSaver is its Meats section. They regularly have deep discounts on all kinds of cuts, and you can get a Boston Button for under $2 a pound. I have a few friends that smoke their own meats and when they go on sale like that they stock up. Also, besides Stoyich, (or Whole Paycheck) can you get freshly made sausages in that variety? I don't go there often, but when I do, it is usually for their meat.
Super Saver is about the only store that actually cuts all of their own meat in house. They also do not inject their meat with a sodium solution, like another chain who shall remain nameless but has the initials H & V. My old boss still has a package of stew meat from that store sitting on his desk. It's bright red, just like the day he bought it. Eight years ago.EastCB wrote:Yeah, the section is good.

In a typical store closing, operations are handed over to a liquidation firm. They buy the inventory, and run/manage the store until it's sold off.GRANDPASMUCKER wrote:I went in to K-Mart the other day to check out the sale. As might be suspected things were not on the up and up. There was this bed spread set that had been on sale for $10 on Thanksgiving eve. It was regular 19.99. Then after the Black Friday sale was over the bed spread was on sale for 14.99 for weeks. Now with the going out of business sale they claim the starting price was 29.99 and now with the going out of business sale it is discounted down to 21.95. In short don't get any big ideas about finding any deals here. The clerk told me they are shutting down on April 3rd. They ought to give classes on the down fall of K-mart in business colleges.The course should be called "How to totally screw up a perfectly good business."
Yep. I worked at that store for 2 years while in college in the 80's..debradomayer wrote:Interesting! The one on West Center was a KMart at one time too
Whole Foods at Regency was a Burlington Coat Factory at one time. It was Sheplers before that. Before it was a Sheplers, I have not idea what that building was.debradomayer wrote:Interesting! The one on West Center was a KMart at one time too
IIRC, it was built as a Sheplers in 1979.choke wrote:Whole Foods at Regency was a Burlington Coat Factory at one time. It was Sheplers before that. Before it was a Sheplers, I have not idea what that building was.debradomayer wrote:Interesting! The one on West Center was a KMart at one time too
Yes, thus the Southwest Motifs on the exterior. With the faux Adobe and exposed beams.Coyote wrote:IIRC, it was built as a Sheplers in 1979.choke wrote:Whole Foods at Regency was a Burlington Coat Factory at one time. It was Sheplers before that.

Oh really? I worked in the electronics/appliance department on Center for over five years, from fall of 1983 to Thanksgiving 1988.Omaha Cowboy wrote:Yep.

Fun times indeed...
Ciao..LiO...Peace
I worked there in the appliance dept for 2 years- 1981-1982. You must have worked with Ron R. Too.. Small world isn't it? When I worked at Center St, they paid us every Friday in cash. Enjoyed the commission..we used to sell washers, dryers and fridges along with everything else when I worked that store.HskrFanMike wrote:Oh really?

...Think Godfather II and a young Vito Corleone..Coyote wrote:The Don working on commission in appliances? I can hear the sales pitch now...
...They still did when I left in 1988. When I got there, they were phasing out of the major appliances. Couldn't get Ron to drop "Appliances" when he answered the phone, even though we didn't sell anything other than dorm-room fridges and microwave ovens.Omaha Cowboy wrote:

Oh yeah. I've experienced that with Ron several times when I've seen him over the years. The guy LOVES to talk. Did you ever meet his look alike brother? I swear, the first time he walked into the department, I thought I was cracking up seeing 2 Ron's at once lol...HskrFanMike wrote:They still did when I left in 1988.

Still see Ron occasionally; he sometimes does samples at Costco. If he recognizes you, he'll chew your ear off for a half hour....
