More Kmart stores closing

[freebrickproductions]

More stores have been given the ol’ heave-ho.

There are some rather successful malls and shopping areas on that list.

I'm guessing some of the better malls have tenants lined up to replace Sears. The Woodland Mall (Grand Rapids) Sears closed last year and is in the middle of becoming Von Maur.

I'm willing to bet that those are ones with leases that are about to expire, and Sears Holdings doesn't want to bother renewing them.

A lot of Sears recent closures appear to be real estate market driven, rather than store sales.  If they can get some quick cash out of the deal I don't think it matters to them at this point how that store is performing.

The mall in Wilmington is fixing to get a makeover, so this confirms what the locals have already guessed for a month now.

I just realized that the Feasterville Kmart closed. Still wondering how the Kmart in Mayfair (19149) is still afloat. Especially since the nearest open Kmart is in Clifton Heights, PA.

Kmart has officially been completely 100% wiped out from here in Dalton, Georgia.

Today, I stumbled upon a local news article, which detailed what is going to happen to one of the old Kmart lots (there was two different Kmarts here in Dalton) - specifically, the one off of Georgia Highway 52 close to I-75's Exit 333. According to this article, on this piece of commercial property that was formerly a Kmart, they will be reeling in a Food City, Ross, Ulta, PetSmart, Rak Outfitters, and maybe more.

It was sad to see Kmart go (and see the entire company being ruined by what was seemingly a terrible CEO), but I am excited to see these new businesses coming in, and I think they will highly benefit my town. They have already started construction on all of this, and torn down a good bit of the old Kmart building. It will be very interesting to see and experience the final result of this!

This right here is perhaps the most outdated Kmart I have ever seen. I'm surprised that this store survives when I was in it there were maybe 3 people total inside the store that I saw. You should see the inside of this store.

It only survives as it's four miles from the nearest Meijer, six miles from the nearest Walmart, and eight miles from the nearest Target. There also doesn't appear to be enough room for any of those chains to open another location nearby

Which is probably the same reason the Midland Kmart survives. I'm surprised that the Clio Kmart survives being directly across I-75 from a Walmart Supercenter.

The interior is very dated. When I was walking inside the store I was thinking, this is a Kmart?

Welp, it's just been announced that the Sears in my area is closing in August. I'm surprised it lasted this long, given that people use it as a mall entrance and nothing more. Not good news for the already struggling mall...

I walked through the Sears in Fashion Square Mall in Saginaw tonight around 8:00pm and saw 2 people in the store total.

By the way, This K mart is in the Mayfair neighborhood in NE Philly. It used to be the Kmart that served everything south of the creek in the northeast. Ever since the one on Frankford Ave closed though, It serves the entire Northeast.

Sandwiched between two walmarts that are 7 miles away from each other, It's a miracle this one survived. also Both Walmarts are on the same road as this Kmart, to make matters worse

I've never been in that one but from just looking at it I'd say it looks more like a normal Kmart than the one Waterford. I had driven past it numerous times and knew it was there but hadn't gone inside it until recently. I should have took some pictures of the inside of it so I could post them it was like everything was from the 50's or 60's and not updated since.

K Marts have made themselves less known these days in Central Florida I could care less if they completely go under.  They made no attempt to fight Walmart and Target, but while the other two retailers are growing these guys just let em grow!

Plus buying Sears after they applied for bankruptcy did not restore my faith in them either.

They're all really outdated - it's KMart.  They've done absolutely nothing to improve or update their stores.  On the rare occasion I go into the one remaining KMart in my area it's like hopping into a time machine back to grade school days.

I probably mentioned it before somewhere on this same thread, but my mom recalled recently a KMart she worked near in the early 80s which was the only convenient place someone could get to on a quick lunch break in the office park she was in.  She said the place would be packed with other office workers at noon trying do some quick shopping on their break or get some lunch.  KMart responded in the only way KMart knew how - Staff exactly one checkout lane with a long line behind it.  As usual it never occurred to them that this would infuriate their customers, who would eventually find somewhere else to shop - and this was typical of KMart over the years.  When Target came on the scene I was always impressed that they were smart enough to well staff the checkout lanes - They realized it was well worth the money in customer relations.  KMart never learned this lesson - and that's why we have threads entitled "More KMart stores closing".

The Kmart you are talking about was on Aramingo, near Westmoreland. I'm pretty sure there is a Walmart on Aramingo and Castor. The Kmart was right next to a Toys R Us.

I believe there are as many as five inside Philly's city limits. There's the one off Christopher Columbus Blvd. right on the river and there is a Target there as well. Then the one mentioned off Aramingo. Two on Roosevelt. One off Knights Road in Philly Mills. Those are the only Walmart's in Philly I know of. It seemed kind of unusual for a store like Walmart to build inside an urban area. Meijer has opened two stores in Detroit and I know there are a few Walmart's in Chicago too.

^^  Walmart has a location in the Steeltown Commons Shopping Center, located about 4 miles south of Public Square/Downtown Cleveland.  From what I hear, it's a shoplifter's paradise.

By the way, This K mart is in the Mayfair neighborhood in NE Philly. It used to be the Kmart that served everything south of the creek in the northeast. Ever since the one on Frankford Ave closed though, It serves the entire Northeast.

Sandwiched between two walmarts that are 7 miles away from each other, It's a miracle this one survived. also Both Walmarts are on the same road as this Kmart, to make matters worse

I see what you're talking about and found both Walmart's and there is also a Target store closer to the Kmart. I'm surprised that one lasted, wasn't there one on Kensington and Allegheny too?

The Kmart you are talking about was on Aramingo, near Westmoreland. I'm pretty sure there is a Walmart on Aramingo and Castor. The Kmart was right next to a Toys R Us.

That Kmart closed? I know the Pathmark next to it closed and of course Toys R Us will be closing. I think the Walmart your talking about is on Butler next to Lowe's right?

There's also Target and ShopRite in that area. Also kind of unusual for Walmart to have a location (they have at least three) inside Philadelphia city limits.

I believe there are as many as five inside Philly's city limits. There's the one off Christopher Columbus Blvd. right on the river and there is a Target there as well. Then the one mentioned off Aramingo. Two on Roosevelt. One off Knights Road in Philly Mills. Those are the only Walmart's in Philly I know of. It seemed kind of unusual for a store like Walmart to build inside an urban area. Meijer has opened two stores in Detroit and I know there are a few Walmart's in Chicago too.

There is also the one on Cheltenham, but that is right outside Philly

^^  Walmart has a location in the Steeltown Commons Shopping Center, located about 4 miles south of Public Square/Downtown Cleveland.  From what I hear, it's a shoplifter's paradise.

Doesn't surprise me. Cleveland is actually a lot like Detroit just smaller.

That one probably gets a lot of business from within the city limits too.
