K'mart has a Loveable Disorder Blog 3

Everything that was mention about Kmart in this article is exactly how i felt and how I remember the store. Kmart is filled with a lot of random merchandise and has been around for years. Kmart will never change, from the smell of food in the air from the concession stand to the long lines at the check out register. You simply get use to it. The corporation investment in institution which later on goes broke is the reason why they are bankrupt, but it still finds the way of pulling customers in. I haven't came across a closed down Kmart, just a pretty empty parking lot. The present Kmart is fashioned by past societies which affected more permanent changes. Which relates to the failure of corporation investments and affect how the store carry's themselves. As seen in the employees enthusiasm towards the cleanliness in the store. It quality's as a cultural landscape. It has been around for very long from generation to generation. We seen the store at its best and at its worst. As you look in the store, there's a feeling of trying to hang in there from the destruction of local competition. Its a story Kmart presents, a similarity story other business try to over come. At Kmart its "random nature" is what separates themselves from other business, and what keeps its door open.

A ordinary cultural landscape that I have visited is Food Maxx. I have never been to a place that has changed its name so many times. I have been shopping there since I was a child. It has transformed in many ways, and I must say every year the quality of food and serves gets better. Food Maxx attracts a lot of customers for its low prices so you can imagine the extremely long lines, but nothing compares to how many children are in the store. Running over a child will be one of your fears at Food Maxx. The Diversity of the people is what shapes the store and qualify s it as a cultural landscape. Asian to Mexican cuisine fill the aisle's like a one stop shop. Everyone and anyone are welcome to enjoy. The diversity of a store brings individuals together in the community.
