The Grizzly is reporting that the local KMart is up for auction in January. Whatever the winner opts to do, is up to them. It could remain a KMart, or not.

Down to the wire! Sears Holdings Corp. is preparing to potentially wind down the iconic retailer after Chairman Eddie Lampert’s bid to buy several hundred stores out of bankruptcy fell short of bankers’ qualifications. While Lampert’s ESL Investments has failed to convince the bankers of the viability of its bid, it could still make last-minute improvements before a status hearing on Tuesday. Lampert also has outlined a back-up plan in which ESL would pursue the purchase of some of Sears’s parts, including real estate and intellectual property, such as its brand. To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven; the same key opens the gates of hell.

Looks like Kmart will now Liquidate.... There were 3 places that I shopped while I lived in Big Bear.... Butchers Block, Stater Bros & Kmart. I remember when I first moved there in 1999..... Kmart had a nice selection of plants / yard decor. They had 1/2 oak barrels for 1/2 the cost of anybody and their plants were really inexpensive. I really liked the BB Kmart !! I hope somehow the doors will stay open with another "discount" retailer.... And hopefully they will include a very good selection of food. In Huntington Beach, I remember when they built the Kmart.... and it was my go to store for all my childhood (that and whitefront and fedco). That Kmart was demolished and a Home Depot is now there. R-I-P Kmart is the sky the limit ?

Sears Holdings will ask a bankruptcy judge today if it can proceed with liquidation after it could not reach an agreement on chairman Edward Lampert's $4.4 billion takeover bid, people familiar with the matter said, potentially spelling the end for the 126-year-old U.S. department store chain. To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven; the same key opens the gates of hell.
Does anyone know what CalTrans is up to now? K-rails and water barrel end caps on two obscure places- on 38 north of Erwin Ranch Rd and on the blvd wrst of Snow Play? Why?
