Kmart

Time wrap… a throwback to the 90s. The employees, customers, & 90s music. I felt like I was in the Napoleon Dynamite universe. Kmart has easy parking, Sears liquidation, clearance, AsSeenOnTV stuff and a lot empty/​open spaces. I needed an odd item (overprice everywhere, including online) and of all places… Kmart had it at a great deal! I didn’t need to ask for them to match their online price.

I haven’t been to a Kmart in FOREVER. But a quick Google search revealed that Kmart might stock the Sonicare toothbrushes we were looking for so we stopped by to check it out.
They DID have them which was awesome! The store itself is pretty normal-​looking and has a LOT of stuff. Staff was helpful and really nice. Prices were totally legit too; too bad they closed our Kmart in Durango!

I am a fan of k-​mart, you can find cheap home essentials like toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, laundry detergent etc — it can be hard to find these things in an urban area! This is usually the place that I do that type of shopping. I think a lot of the items are cheaper here than you would find at king soopers or safeway. It’s a clean store and I never have an issue finding what I need and the staff is usually pretty helpful.

This place is tanking.
I don’t go here much but I noted some very empty shelves in places as if they can’t afford to stock things.
The toilet is always an embarrassment here; the women’s is frequently lacking in TP. I saw a staffer in there and she waltzed out and did nothing about it. In the handicapped stall, there was no tissue, so I guess they were down to using paper towels, and the other stall luckily had some tissue in it albeit not much. Staff do NOT check the bathrooms here on a regular — or even semi-​regular — basis.
The staff are friendly enough and I’ve noted that the electronics section is shrinking and they don’t carry games anymore. Half the shelves in that section are sparsely-​stocked.
You’d think with that hipster housing they’re building next to it that things would be looking up?

This place is sad! Shelves in disarray… Cashier arguing with the Manager in front of customers. Avoid this location like the plague.

The store seems to be turning around. I had pretty much written it off,. but on a recent visit I found it to be well-​stocked and well-​staffed.
I stopped by on 8÷1÷2014 on the off chance that they would stock a HEPA filter for my Kenmore vacuum cleaner. Sure enough, they did!
I wandered over to the garden section and found great regular prices as well sale prices on organic fertilizer for my vegetable garden. I picked up several bags. They also stocked Jobe’s rose fertilizer spikes that I could not find at the nearby Home Depot. They also had a sale on premium potting soil that was way cheaper than at the nearby Ace Hardware. I picked up a few more garden items including a rubber hose and some pots.
Feeling lucky, I wandered over to the hardware section to see if they had some Velcro I needed for a home project. Sure enough, they did. On the way to the register I stopped it the personal care section and found some toiletries that i needed.
There were four registers open and short lines. I couldn’t believe my luck.

Yep, I’m reviewing a K-​Mart.
And it’s A-​OK!
Why, you ask?
Because the days following Christmas, they (*gasp*) were adequately staffed at the Customer Service /​Returns desk, and I was able to walk in, not wait, return my item, and walk out in less than 5 minutes.
Also, they were smiling.
Perhaps that’s a low bar to base my opinion of someplace on… But hey, it’s K-​Mart. I’ll take it.

I didn’t even know that Kmarts still existed! I was in the market for some new black flats. After much searching (seriously, it took a full ten minutes to find the mate in the size and style I was looking for), I found a pretty decent pair. The sales associate in the fitting room even let me take them into the stall with me as I tried on other garments. Unfortunately, the shoes didn’t quite fit right, and I left the store empty-​handed.

KMART Store 7303, what happened to you? We have been to this K MART location since Jan 2006, and now look what happened??? Everything seems to be sparsely empty. Only a few employees on duty. Its so eerily quiet. In some perspective is good to some and bad in another matter. Well I guess with supply and demand and THE ECONOMY turned you this bad. *SAD FACE* Oh well life has to go on…
Recent visit was on Friday May 24^th 2013. Time was 20:10hrs ish.
Our Cashier at the check out counter her name was Francisca.
Managed to purchase SALE items while we were there.

I beg of you stop asking me six questions every time I check out. The answer is always NO!
Also I’m not a usual Kmart shopper but I go here because its in my neighborhood. The selection is random if you go there looking specifically for something they likely won’t have it.

pretty bad. run down, gross, unfriendly, not helpful, overpriced.

As far as K-​Marts go, this one is all right… I’m in here every few weeks due solely to the fact that it’s about six blocks from my house.
The checkers have usually been pretty friendly. However, the store STINKS near the entrance, and the whole place just really lacks any personality. It feels like a huge, sterile (but stinky) warehouse.

Nice Store
A lot of people put down Kmart, but it’s not a bad place to shop at, especially for things like cheap appliances. I had a fancy microwave that went out after just a year. I bought an inexpensive one at this store and it works like the Dickens, whatever that means. Ha! I just looked up the word Dickens and it means Devil; so this microwave works like the Devil, but I swear it’s not evil!
Anyway…to my point… Kmart is not a bad place to shop at, and this store is better than most.

Yuck. Is it me or has K-​Mart really dropped in quality in the past couple years? It used to be Wal Mart, Target and K-​Mart were sort of neck and neck. Not so anymore.
K-​Mart is truly bringing up the rear, and this store especially so. Poly/​cotton sheets, ghetto mensgear and lots of fake cheap imported crap?
Yep, yep and yep.

The prices at Kmart were decent and the layout of the store was good and better than Walmart. But i can still do One stop shopping at Walmart.

Ghet to! The store is the only major department store close to downtown so I have no choice. It has gotten cleaner in the past year since I have been going there. BUT, its got this Ghetto feel to it. Not like its necessarily dangerous but the parking lot does feel creepy at night. And I swear I have seen some sketchy people shopping there who generally won’t pay any attention to you unless you are only buying red or blue clothes. The employees are helpful and seem really interested in helping which is nice since the other stores don’t come close. So, if I felt just a little safer there I would give it a better rating.

Kmart gets 5 stars by default in my book just because they aren’t Wal-​Mart…
That being said they earned it in other ways too. The store and parking lot are always clean and organized. I love K-​Mart since they carry my favorite hard to find dog food. I frequent here at least 2 – 3 times a month and have never had a negative experience. The cashiers are always in a pretty good mood (probably cause they don’t work at Wal-​Mart). They don’t give you shit for returns (unlike Wal-​Mart). You’ll rarley find the line longer than 1 or 2 people (what does Wal-​Mart average? 10+ with only 3 registers open? Ridiculous!).
I guess the only complaint is the food section sucks but its not a super K-​mart and I don’t do my grocery shopping here!

It is Kmart, I will darken it’s door, unlike the evil empire of Wal-​Mart, oh, I think I should douse my screen with holy water. It burns just to see those words there.
Well, they have stuff, if you need it, you will find it. Made in China, some of it, made in America, some of it. Flowers, cards, garden supplies, cheap clothing, you know, you have been in one. They carry a surprising number of higher end shampoos though (there is your newsflash!) and the blessed 100 proof sunscreen. I know, I know… but the sun is bad, bad I say!
I got a very nicely woven wide brimmed baseball cap today for $ 7.00, on sale for 40% off. I found the exact same one, seriously, down to the stitching, at the mall (Cherry Creek) for $ 42.00.
I am no good at math, sir, but, I even now that is high style at lowbrow prices!
At the times I do wander in, every once in awhile, I have had some of the nicest checkout people and then the gals who are so snarly and over eye-​lined, I just have to laugh.
You know what it is and what you are going to get.

The next K-​Mart I visit that does NOT have an enormous amount of flannel shirts will be the first.
Being the closest retail department store to downtown Denver, this Kmart has a decent location. However, they routinely close at 9pm which can make it rather worthless to some shoppers. We’ve all been spoiled by the 10pm closing times, or the 24 hr super-​centers.
While the shopping center it’s located in isn’t that bad… you wouldn’t know it by entering this Kmart. Inside, it feels like a run-​down and somewhat trashy store. I don’t mind dropping by to pick up the occasional necessity or random item, but I wouldn’t make this my main K-​Mart.
