Its pretty wild how CVS has its own unique scent. They all smell the exact same way somehow.

They smell like mile long receipts.

I used to think Kmarts did back in the day too.

My wife read this and she said, "Oh, they had a very distinct smell; it was very close to the same smell as Venture."

I don't know that I've heard of Venture or at least haven't been in one!

It's a long-dead, regional department store. It was definitely a deep cut reference πŸ˜„ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture...

No more like a sweet, plastic smell. Your Kmart had carpet?

In certain areas yes but eventually removed it at some point

The Midwest Kmarts I've shopped in were still actually pretty nice. Our local one here was in great shape, until the day it closed. Quite a shame, really. Now half of it's a TJ Maxx and the other half Hobby Lobby

Ours is still abandoned. No one wants the space
