| - I've been shopping at this K-Mart since they were in their original location on Boulder and Basic. Sadly, the years haven't been too kind to the K-Mart chain, and this one is no exception.
First and foremost, the selection of electronics pales in comparison to Target and Wal-Mart. Only adding to the inconvenience is the fact that they walled off the section, and now there is only one way in and out of it.
The convenient garden center entrance has very limited hours and closes early, making the use of that entrance almost never an option. This is a huge disappointment, as this door greatly cuts down my time in there.
Everything else in the store, to put it simply, just isn't up to snuff. Just about every section, other department stores do better. One thing I will say in their defense, though - unlike Wal-Mart, K-Mart DOES carry music with the Parental Advisory symbol (though they have an overzealous policy of having to be 17 to purchase it.) One time when I was purchasing a CD, an employee carded me and asked if I was of legal age to buy it, even though it DID NOT HAVE THE PARENTAL ADVISORY SYMBOL.
My other major complaint is that the gambling machines up front are not enclosed at all, they are right out in the open, This means that people that smoke will gambling constantly taint the entire front of the store with the odor of cigarettes. This is a little less than desirable, and a major health hazard.
15 years ago, this store was great and worth going to for a number of reasons. But with Wal-Mart's recent remodel and Target opening not far away, this place just can't keep up. Go the few extra miles to one of the other stores.
