I'm not sure that the footprint of that K-Mart is large enough.

I would really not be happy if we ended up with an 80% Lowe's like HD is.

Even a full size HD rarely has "everything" you need to finish a project.

Kill-Roys is an absolute rip off and should be scraped off the ground.

Thank God for Ace.

Do you really think it was chicken that they gave you?

After all, it was a Micky D's.

Have you ever watched the Jamie Kennedy experience? "You have just been X'd" - maybe is was a joke since it was "X-Mas" psych!

More people and more traffic will not save a store with inferior merchandise and rude inept staffers.

On the other hand, TDK will save K-Mart's replacement and the increased traffic will certainly help them prosper.

Any ideas on who will replace K-Mart?

How about China Buffet?

Don't forget all the promises ... TDK is going to save the Braelinn Shopping Center ... our traffic will flow smooth as silk ... we will live happily ever after.

US Rep. Lynn Westmoreland and Mayor Logsdon wouldn't lie to us would they?

I agree with that sentiment, but really if you've ever been to that K-mart you'd know that it's one of the 5% of places where you can be as nice and patient as you like, and still get treated just as badly as a rude or unreasonable person.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Target in that spot - we have 2 each of McDonald's, Chik Fil a and Wendy's - why not Target?? Probably won't happen though. Maybe a Micheal's craft store? Just please no thrift stores or things like that horrible Ross. It opened and I guess they build in dirt and despair when they design those things. It's depressing just to walk in - kinda like a K-mart

That would help draw a crowd to that center and give the folks at home depot a run for their money. Competition would be good for their customer service skills.

Perfect, valleygirl!

The Home Depot Lite is a joke. "We don't carry that here. You have to go to our Fayetteville or Newnan store." We just need to make sure they build a full-sized Lowe's that's a viable Home Improvement Center.

We already have 2 Targets. I think we need a decent department store (Macys? Parisian? Anything!) I'm sick of having to drive to the northside for anything half-way nice.

I would LOVE a Parisian here in town... I'll hope for that in that spot. As long as it isn't a Belks (they bought all the Parisians)

FYI Arbor Place in Douglasville is pretty nice and a lot shorter drive, you might want to check it out sometime. They don't have as much upscale as Lenox but it sure beats Shannon Mall. Plus, they have the all-important Build A Bear there

And no, that was not a vote for a Fayette County mall!

If we had a Parisian, I guess I'd shop there but . . . frankly, I'm not much of a Belk/Parisian kinda person. I refuse to shop in places where they act like you're bothering them to ask for help and I have had bad experiences in both of those stores at various locations.

The drive to the northside is annoying but, I prefer Nieman's or at least Nordstrom's. The selection is better and the service is attentive without being hovery.

If you and I are always in agreement, one of us is likely armed and dangerous.

What a load of putrified attitude! Just be glad you have some rags to cover your greedy nakedness. Pride, bragging, and greed will only get worse with people like you. Do it if you must, but I don't need to hear such drivel.

Many people who can afford to dress really nicely do so, and don't give it a second thought. Meaning they don't obsess about what they're wearing nearly as much as you apparently obsess about what they're wearing. Don't read this thread if reading about what people would prefer to Kmart bothers you. Also, I didn't see any bragging here, so again - ?????????????????

I wasn't talking about what clothes you may wear, just the name dropping and bragging----which you say you don't do!!! Fraid you do.

They have a pretty nice selection of close etc. It's not a Parisian, but it's pretty nice.

clothes......nice selection of clothes.

Belks isn't too far away, and they've got some nice stuff, too.

Just remember, 78.4% of all statistics are made up.

*sigh*, a Parisian's would be nice, but it is probably a far off dream!
As far as the rudeness, it can go both ways. I was on the receiving end of a rude customer tonight at my store. It was past closing, and the cashier had asked the woman to come to the front, and the woman kept refusing. I asked her to come, and stated that we would like to go home to our families. She went on a rant about how I was unprofessional, etc!!!! What a fruitcake she was. She had been going off on my cashier, and I told my cashier that she did not need to take abuse and harrassment from anyone! Of course if my cashier had been like that, I'd have written her up maybe fire her if it was warranted. So it's not the low end of retail (I'm at a dollar store) that is the problem, it's the staff and management. Please complain to the mangers and the corporate office. it is more effective than you realize!!!!
