With advertising like this, why isn't K-Mart thriving?

Oldie-but-goodie K-Mart commercial. I still chuckle when little Billy runs up and tells his dad he can't wait to shi* his pants.

There were some really classic commercials back then.
Fry's Electronics online was called Outpost.com

Here is one of their best: Outpost.com

The KMart stores are gone from the northeast. A long run but not strong enough to make a hit with internet sales which I don’t believe they even attempted to do.

K-Mart had the best subs. I used to ride to K-Mart just to buy a sub.

I used to have a K-Mart blue light that would blink blue or could be set not to blink. These are great ads.
