Maybe someone could buy them out and keep the stores running. Not likely. I used to get a lot of stuff at Orchard Supply Hardware stores, lots of Craftsman stuff. Then it was sold to Lowes. That kept the OSH stores open, which I still enjoy shopping at.

As for K-Mart, they suck and should die. When I was a kid, Sears was the store to constantly visit. My dad would leave me at the food counter while he shopped. Popcorn and hot dogs were cheap, and the smell of popcorn wafted throughout the store, about 4 stories of goods. Just outside the food counter was a tire installation building and huge parking lot. To the side was a garden area selling plants, flowers and trees. Across the street was a block-long building doing car maintenance also with a huge parking lot. All under the Sears banner. This local Sears went under decades ago and was sadly missed here. Of about 4 stores in the immediate area only one remains.
