Final day at K-Mart Oscoda, Johnny's live report...

Well Oscoda, today is the last day at the only big box store around town. Now you either find it at Roger's or Family Fare or head down to Tawas City or up to Alpena. There's not much left to choose from. In the few times Johnny has visited the last few weeks the amount of goods being sold is impressive. The store today was quite "crowded" this morning meaning giant open spaces with scads, yes scads, hanging around installments shopping. They must have had more fun-size Purells because Johnny got more. Paid like $3 for 15 or so.

So, 5pm and it's all done. If you're looking for racks and stands and things like that, some of those are for sale as well. Just an idea. Here are a few pics and an in-store action video/gif to mark this historic day. Oscoda Township offices? Meijer? Johnny's Whirly Ball World? Stay tuned to this questionable Oscoda news source for more on what happens to this piece of real estate.

Only five days left for the Oscoda K-Mart

Johnny ran up this morning to the barely there K-Mart on US-23 and what he saw was a lot of sad. Mea culpa, Johnny did take advantage of the sales, he cleaned them out of travel (ie fun size) Purell. He's just that way at his house, it's always out.

There were big signs greeting shoppers saying 5 days left! Johnny inquired and the fifth day is Sunday, everything is done there at EOB Sunday. Johnny would go back but unless they get some more Purell in, there's nothing left there he needs.

Johnny would also like to point out that despite the decision to close the Oscoda K-Mart, abandoning our community as they have so many others, those left still working at K-Mart Oscoda are not letting the closing affect their attitudes. They are handling themselves and the situation with grace and class. A tip of the Oscoda City Desk cap to them.
