You can actually get US made products in K-Mart. The stores are a reasonable size and I can always find a parking space near the door. I've got a handicapped placard but rarely need to use it there. I can have a fairly large list and be in and out in 15 minutes. It takes 15 minutes to PARK at the other two.

Yes, it has a reason to exist. A couple of years ago they had the quilted flannel shirts on clearance for $1 and $2 each. I bought about 30 of them (large-XXXL) and took them down to the shelter for homeless men in Harrisburg. They were US made. I get US made toothbrushes, jeans, other clothing, housewares, and hell, even the toilet flapper I just bought was US made. Fortunately, neither of our K-Marts (or our Sears) are on the "to close" list.

They're also typically located in plazas with damn near everything else I need so I save time, gas, and wear on my back by shopping there. I haven't been in a WalMart or Target in at least four years (maybe more) and only because I had to pee. They won't get my money.
