...where they will no doubt be told that the lifetime in question was yours.

Based on what I've seen of K-mart lately, you're pretty likely to outlive it. Wal-mart is kicking their ass on the downscale side and Target on the upscale side...and both have clear intention to take the other on on their own ground. K-mart will be the first casuality.
