My favorite entertainment store is closing! So many memories working there in the late 90's. I worked at Hastings for 3 years, even help moved the store from 24th street location to what was known as the West Park Plaza on Grand Ave.
I started at the bottom of the totem pole as a Customer Service Associate and ended as a Sidelines Manager...
By now, most residents have heard the news that K-Mart will be closing. Given the typical emptiness of the parking lot, it's not exactly shocking news. Whenever a business closes shop, I always think of the employees and what it's like for them knowing the end is coming in a matter of weeks...
