The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Got to know one of corporate guys from Kmart after he left. His take was that Sears was big stores in the City. Kmart came along and built stores in the first ring suburbs when that was all the suburbs were. Walmart ringed the cities with outskirts stores that later became second and third ring suburbs. Kmart was left with a poor customer pool and had been out foxed. Kmart was also as slow to change as Sears was. I was a vendor to both Kmart and Walmart. It took 6 months to get an appointment at Kmart vs a week or two at Walmart. It's hard to turn battleships.
Dollar General, I don't know, maybe it's Amazon that going to take some of their business. Without growth you die most of the time.
