K-mart - A Blessing For Guam?

Comment from a reader on "Guam's K-Mart Full Of Cheap Junk":

Your perspective is warped. First of all, there are lots of people on Guam who are not military (news flash). They don't have access to the Exchanges or commissaries. Prior to K mart, shopping on Guam was limited to very expensive stores that seriously overcharged for the same stuff that K-mart now sells for half the price. Imagine going to the Town House Department Store on Guam before and having to pay $12 for a bath towel.. same towel that is $3.99 in K mart. The Guam K mart grocery department is well stocked with high quality food items at a reasonable price, unlike the rotton produce that you had to pay a premium for at J & G Payless stores.

K mart was a blessing for Guam, and so is the Home Depot, which recently opened. Internet shopping and using the US Mail also offered some competition (finally) for the greedy merchants of Guam past.

And another:

While I can't speak for the Guam K-Mart, the writer describes well the state of K-Marts in the U.S.
