I am no trademark lawyer, but K-Mart has been up for grabs now since 2004.

I love the complete lack of give a crap about copyright or trademark or infringement or is it just a disdain for the language. Haha.

Well, Mart is from Walmart, the biggest market in the world, have to stick with that, can’t deviate from that and we got 23 letters, and there is no other possibilities in there.

H-Mart makes sense, H stands for Hanguk which is the Korean word for Korea.

I'm gonna take I-Mart and get sued by Apple.

Pretty good progress made on that new Canadian Tire in Deerfoot meadows. They cleared the field into packed dirt about 8 years ago and then they....let the grass grow back through the dirt. Should still be on pace for their 2042 opening, I'd imagine.

Isn't it from K-Mart? Google tells me that started in 1962.

I guess I wasn't paying any attention but apparently there's no The Source stores? Went to check their website for a cable to pick up tomorrow and it sent me to Best Buy Express.

Quote:
In January 2024, BCE announced that it would permanently close approximately one-third of The Source's locations and its Barrie head office, and transition the remainder to a franchising partnership with its erstwhile competitor Best Buy. 167 locations were temporarily closed, renovated and rebranded under the new Best Buy Express banner throughout the second half of 2024. BCE continues to own the locations, but they now carry exclusively Best Buy merchandise, and offer services such as Geek Squad. They also continue to exclusively offer telecommunications services from BCE's subsidiaries including Bell Canada.
It will always be Radio Shack to me.

So basically it'll be Best Buys cables, chargers and **** in the Source locations? And probably cell phone plans, gotta have them cell phone booths!

I remember reading about that way back in school and thinking about that guy.

"What? I'm the CEO of Radio Shack? Since when???"
