Who goes to a Kmart 17 miles away at 8:30 at night? Didn’t Kmart (and most stores in general) close by 8 or 9? Even closing at 9, if you drove 17 miles at 40 miles an hour assuming zero traffic or other issues, you’d just barely make it to the store, let alone have time to shop. Awful cover story. F-.
I expect this assignment re-written from scratch, and the rough draft peer reviewed before a final hits my desk. Due Friday, minus 10 percent for the extension.
I recall as a child of the 90s and 2000s, that my local K-Mart was open 24/7. I remember this because one night my mom and I had both woken up in the middle of the night, and were watching tv struggling to fall back to sleep, so we went to K-Mart to see what it was like in the middle of the night.
With that said, I don’t know who would go to K-Mart at 8:30PM.
I once went to a K-mart at around 2am because I wanted to buy a friend a copy of a video game we were staying up most of the night to play. We had been passing the controller back and forth every time we died or finished a mission, and he decided he wanted to buy the game but it would need to wait until payday. Nah, we gonna get you that copy NOW. Hooked his Xbox up to the spare TV and started the game with fresh characters.
No ragrets
That said, I only chose Kmart because they were the only place that sold video games that was open and under 30 minutes away…
Back in 2001? I lived in semi-rural Maryland and our grocery stores were open till 10, or midnight if you wanted to drive to the nearest “big town”, and there was a 24-hour Walmart about 45 minutes away. I can’t speak to Kmart - there wasn’t one in my area - but I wouldn’t be surprised if her stores stayed open later as well.
Edit: also, regardless of normal store hours, this was a couple weeks before Christmas, so extended hours could definitely be in play.
I’m in a pretty large town and the only ones that were open later were Walmart, from what I recall. I don’t think we even got 24h Walmart locations until the late 2000s.
But it has been 25 years, maybe age is getting to me…

Kmart used to close at 10 when I was in my teens. But that was 25+ years ago.
