I remember I used to go to Kmart as a kid before Walmart became the monolith it is today, and at that time they were largely the same as Target or Shopko. Just a generic department store.

After Walmart moved into my town, all the smaller department stores got run out of business almost immediately, but Kmart hung in there. They even renovated to become a Super Kmart, however, that was the beginning of the end. I vividly remember them always being slow to change their selection (they had N64s on sale long after the Gamecube came out), and the last 5 or so years they were open was especially sad. You could tell there was no leadership or care because every shelf would be a complete mess with merchandise randomly strewn about everywhere, often on the floor.
