Another Anchor on it's way out.

A while back I wrote a post on a neighborhood anchor store closing. We were wondering about the impact of this closure. http://activerain.com/blogs/rgdlm/tags/albertsons I Just passed by a guy holding a sign. "Store Closing,

Kmart, this store only, Everything must go! This should get really interesting now. I don';t know how all of the little satellite stores will be able to hang on now. This Kmart store is the other anchor store in a shopping complex. The stores are on a rather busy corner off theBangerter Highway and 5400 South.

I would almost have to chalk tthis one up to poor customer service. It has been quite a while since I shopped regularly in this store. It took forever to check out, even if there was nobody in line. Usually only one cashier. The store was well stocked and had a great location. The loss of the Albertson's store had an impact as well, but I really think the lack of responsive customer service was the biggest downfall. There is a Target store now within a 10 minute drive and they have great customer service. It doesn't take long for people to go where they are treated well. I feel bad for the businesses surrounding the two stores here. We'll see what happens.
