Race to K-mart
No one in his or her right mind would think that K-mart parking lot is a great place to have fun for a day. Most people would wonder why my friends and I go there on Saturday and Sundays. Even though scheduling is sometimes a problem, the parking lot of K-mart is my favorite place because this is where my friends and I visit, enjoy good food, and drag race remote controlled cars.
Sometimes scheduling can be a main problem, and friends will decline for many reasons. Some of the people miss a day of work that week due to doctor’s appointment or a family emergency, so they have to make those days up on a weekend. At other times, their car might be broken down, and they need to fix it. If they do not have enough gas, they

Next, we warm the cars up that are nitro along with tuning them to get maximum performance out of the engine. Now we are ready for the contest of a lifetime.
While the food and visiting are important, the most important reason why K-mart’s parking lot is my favorite place is that it provides a great space to drag race remote controlled cars. There we have about one thousand feet of distance across the parking lot. Everyone starts on one end of the parking lot and races down to the other side. Then the cars turn around and race back to where we started. Racing five cars down the straightaway side by side can be difficult. If one person loses control of his car, that individual can take out one or all of the others at the same time. The winner of that day has the bragging rights until the next day or until the next race day. This it what makes it fun to be at the Kmart parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays. There is a lot of trash talk that goes on during the whole day. We have had people run into the curbs light poles while car parts go flying through the air. Watching it happen is funny for everyone but for the individual wrecking. Rubbing their misfortune in their faces makes them mad and also makes them try to fix their car and get back into the race to see if they can win or wreck all of the other cars at the same time. Revenge is what makes this sport fun. Another humorous calamity is if someone’s car loses signal from the
The customers the store wants to attract range from young children to older adults. The store will stock something for all age groups for males and females, but the main target customer would most likely be young to middle-aged male adults that are interested in racing r/c cars and trucks on a weekly basis at the track the shop will provide. These customers will keep coming back and stay interested in what the hobby shop is going to focus on, which is r/c cars and trucks of all scales. The location of the store is a fine place for attracting this target customer and people from all around to use the dirt track that will be built, because few other stores will have one.
Thesis:Road rage is a major problem in the United States, it causes accidents, anger, fear, and danger to our roadways everyday.
Just like before, malls are and will continue to be an entertaining shopping experience. As entertainment changes - so do the entertainment requirements in a mall or outdoor shopping area. Adding more and better forms of entertainment and updating them regularly can keep the shopping experience relevant, and keep shoppers coming back to see what’s new.
I sat on the driver’s seat nervously and took a deep breath. It was a hot Saturday afternoon; the sun was starting to fall and my mom and I were at the Department of Public Safety practicing for my driver’s test. My mom was sitting on the passenger’s seat and reckoned, “Aggie, you will be fine” as I finished parallel parking. This was probably the hundredth time we had practiced and every single one had different outcomes.
On July 2, 1962 Sam Walton opened the very first Walmart store in Rogers, Ark. Each week, more than 140 million Americans shop at Walmart. The company has over 11,000 stores in 28 countries. In fact, just recently the company opened a new store in my neighborhood. All summer I watched them build and build and I would say to my mom, “I can’t wait for them to finish so we can stop having to go to that ghetto Walmart.” I know “ghetto Walmart?” but it’s the truth. There was one other Walmart in my neighborhood and it was known as the ghetto Walmart. So when I received the essay assignment I knew immediately where I wanted to go. At ghetto Walmart the norms became abnormal and the abnormal things started to be accepted. The Walmart Company knows how to get costumers to come into their stores, I’ll give them that, but something just went wrong with that one.
I said earlier that the engine burns fuel and air to cause compression. With a high-burning gas injected into the engine, you gain instant horsepower***. Nitrous Oxide is a gas that burns hotter and faster than regular fuel. When it is directly injected into the cylinder, it burns at a greater rate to the fuel, increasing speed greatly. Through a switch on the wheel, a driver engages a certain amount of NOS**** from a tank in his car. Through a nozzle, the driver decides how much gas he wants then the burst is pressed. With this high-powered gas, too much can literally burn so hot that it melts your engine. These drivers take the risk of wanting too much speed and blowing their engine apart. A NOS boost can shake the welds off the engine and the driver out of the car; this is why it’s a blessing and a curse.
This store was chosen because it used to be run by whites, with white associates, who got fired and replaced by Mexican associates with a Korean management. The skinheads agreed they should attack the Koreans for hiring “border jumpers” and so they did.
New students entering Western Michigan University are allowed to have a car on campus. With every new freshmen class entering each year, parking poses a problem. WMU is already limited in its parking on campus and since freshmen are allowed to have cars, the students are faced with the dilemma of having nowhere to park or parking quite far from their destination. There are parking problems all over the campus, creating backups in residence
It's a place where people feel happy and are always surrounded by employees who care. It's a friendly environment that's hard to find at other stores these days. There are many families I have talked to who have no idea where they are going to shop after the store has closed.
Adam complains about parking at least three time a day. He is late to economics class every Tuesday and Thursday, and Professor Willis simply cannot take it anymore. Professor Willis told Adam that he needs to wake up earlier in order to get a spot on campus, but sleep is vital to all college students. Sleep should not be compensated for the time to find parking. Adelphi should instead listen to the proposal in this essay, which deals with the plan of action to create more parking spots on campus. Spots are limited, and Adam is not alone. There is a large number of people who have a problem finding a parking spot. Parking is the number one problem on campus for both residents and commuters and a solution is needed. Adelphi has the money and power to create more parking spots on campus by extending both of the underground parking lots. The benefits of extending the underground parking lots will allow for Adelphi to cut down on their shuttle service, permit all students to park on campus, and for less accidents to occur.
Tires squeal across the hot asphalt; exhaust fumes fill the air. Innocent shoppers leap to safety as cars circle the neighborhood grocery store lot in search of the ideal parking spot. Engines revving. Adrenaline rushing. The driver's sole mission is to obtain a white lined rectangle of pavement before entering the race known as shopping. As a safety precaution, competent and considerate shoppers should be aware of the distinct character traits of the three annoying types of shoppers: Hurry Harry, Suburban Sally, and Picky Pete. Knowledge of their parking-lot-to-checkout-stand habits increases the chance of avoiding a head-on collision.
Furthermore, King Soopers has everything I need. King Soopers has an amazing price range too! I can purchase many products, and that’s amazing for our family so that my parents don’t need to spend a lot of money on little items, like candy, or drinks. We usually stop for water bottles, or even groceries. Nothing is too high-priced, and I adore that about King Soopers.
People love to drink coffee. Coffee shops, independently owned or chains are every corner. Statistics show that people are taking more coffee every day. It is a very profitable business.
“Sears service and products are as good as our competitors but they're not where our customers are. With the addition of Kmart this now gives us the opportunity to grow off-mall locations closer to the customer” (Bhatnagar, 2004). Kmart stores are primarily located in strip malls in heavily populated cities opposed to Sears’s stores, which are usually located in larger malls with more competition and are farther away.
Why do students and their parents pay such a large amount of money to attend the University of Dayton if there is not going to be any place for parking? I am a first year student at the university so I understand that I am not permitted to have my car on campus (Handbook). My boyfriend on the other hand, lives at least a half hour away and comes to visit me several times a week. He arrives and has to drive for a very long time trying to find a place to park where he will not receive a ticket. He has tried to park everywhere we can think of, but it never seems to work out. The first few times he came over public safety/the police department was willing to give out temporary permits for visitors and
