In episode 74 of Twitty in the City, Twitty and THC dive into a nostalgic discussion about old-school shopping, Kmart, outlet stores, mall culture, and why “lazy business shopping” has taken over. Shopping used to be an event, but now grocery stores, malls, outlet stores, and retail shopping feel completely different.
From riding in the bottom of the grocery cart as a kid, to getting dressed up just to go to Sears, to meeting up by the fake plant in the food court, this episode breaks down how shopping used to feel like a full experience. Twitty and THC also get into the legendary flex of saying you got something “from the Nike store at the outlet store,” why Kmart had loyal customers, how Walmart may have taken over, and whether Kmart could actually make a comeback.
