This is so sad to review. My dad worked here from the late 90s to mid 2000s as a manager/associate. And he cried when we went in during the liquidation.
Hi Wallie, Great video! The notch in the back of the store with the covered garage door is where series 3-2 and 7's sold lumber in the early 80's. This used to be a separate area blocked off with a large open entry way to the sales floor and no dropped ceiling. When the early 90's remodels/expansions occurred, the block wall was removed, a drop ceiling added, and it was converted into normal selling space. Jay
Alright Wallie! Pumping out alot of videos latley! I'm still trying to get caught up on videos! Terry and i haven't been out there but we do want to go soon.Mabey I can get a basket when we go.
I love how they are playing Oasis in Kmart lol. Love it. Lots of memories for me too. Going here after work today to check out the clearance. Thanks Wallie and Kayla!!!!!!
2:52 that's because it was one of the ones NOT updated under Antonini. If it had been that awning would have had a curve added to it like the one in New Castle, PA you did here: th-cam.com/video/FjP6Ky2Ln7U/w-d-xo.html Compare awnings, you can see how it has the curve, and at one time the "BIG" part like this has. That one has also had its doors moved- all that was under Antonini in the early-90's when he tried to "update" Kmart (badly, he also changed the red/turquoise sign into that block K and script "mart").
The Kmart I live near is scheduled to close around the same time as this store. I however think that it's going to close ahead of schedule so WinCo Foods can move in
syxepop Part of the reason why some of them stay abandoned for awhile is because Kmart’s lease is still active. Then after the lease is up the building gets redeveloped. Of course, that is not the case with all locations. Some are just in locations that are either not desirable or too close to other locations of businesses that could afford the property.
Posted New Year's Eve 2019, The day before TH-cam dies. 5:32 - 8:41 Hey @WallieB26, That song is Champagne Supernova by Oasis. It's the last song from their second album, "What's the Story (Morning Glory)". Great *Galarian band from *Wyndon. *British *London I just love their music. That song in your video makes me want to buy the vinyl and/or CD of Morning Glory. R.I.P. TH-cam 2005 - 2019 #pokemonSwordShield Please Pin this.
Oh my gosh, you guys are so sweet! Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face and happiness in my heart when I see you both together! Happy New Year!! 🤗😁
This Kmart looks very familiar, oh wait it is up the road from me. I hope you and Kayla make it back here soon. Thanks for putting your spin on this Big K.
I remember in the early 80s going to kmart in liberty Ohio (before they tore it down)- had windows all along the front. Womens clothes were displayed there so you literally could go window shopping. I knew when Boardman Ohio closed it was only a matter of time.....they couldn't compete with Walmart prices.
Can't believe they're playing Oasis' Champagne Supernova in there, (What's The Story) Morning Glory was the first album I ever had (on cassette) when I was a kid back in the '90s :)
It's going to be about a 7 hour long round trip but I have to get up here when it closes, or right before it closes. It'll be the last time I've ever in one of them, I would think.
My local sears is closing and it’s the last one in central Virginia funny enough it’s the most busy it has ever been as nobody would walk past the at home store but now from the at home to the sears it’s always busy.
This one looks well maintained compared to others. I follow their page on Facebook and their employees really cared about keeping the store going. I really didn't expect them to close it so soon. I really have no idea what the company is thinking at this point. Why not make any sense until the very end?
Cam Howe He saved them just to ruin them on his own. The problem for day one with Lambert was he was playing it from both sides. He had money invested in the success of the company and was also betting against it at the same time, and taking every asset he could get for himself. If he had invested solely in the success of the company and actually listened to executives with retail experience K-mart and Sears would be growing today instead of the opposite.
Picked up some nice Craftsman tools there today while I was working on the RV :) :)
Great video nice 👍
I saw most of these 2 years ago yet now I rewatch the ones that I saw 2 years ago and find many more I haven’t seen
I love that the big K is beside Bk. Lol. Great video
Cool Kmart, sad it is closing.
This is so sad to review. My dad worked here from the late 90s to mid 2000s as a manager/associate. And he cried when we went in during the liquidation.
I worked here for 2 years in the 2000's. I'm sure I knew your Dad. I trained as a special projects manager and prob worked with him that way.
Great video wally happy new years
After this one closes. My next nearest one is Marshall, MI I think.

I used to work here and did not know that. Thank you!
I work at the mcdonald’s right there next to that Kmart. I have a lot of memories there as a kid and it’s sad to see it go.
Alright Wallie! Pumping out alot of videos latley! I'm still trying to get caught up on videos! Terry and i haven't been out there but we do want to go soon.Mabey I can get a basket when we go.
Have a great New Year, Wallie and Kayla.
I drove by the Kmart in Clio, MI over the weekend, but it was already closed.
I last went to that one in September right after they announced they were closing.
I used to work here until it closed I may have been there!
The Blue hair is back!
Great video wallie your the best number one
I love how they are playing Oasis in Kmart lol. Love it. Lots of memories for me too. Going here after work today to check out the clearance. Thanks Wallie and Kayla!!!!!!
You should get that sign for your collection
Loved the video, must have been Dec. of 2019 right before covid n masks , I see none👍🏼
Our last Connecticut K-Mart is now Closed. Sears soon.

Made my night!!!

asamojomaster, at least SOMEONE ELSE is replacing Kmart RIGHT AWAY and NOT KEPT ABANDONED...

Wallie I like your view of the Kmarts keep up the good work
Oh my gosh, you guys are so sweet! Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face and happiness in my heart when I see you both together! Happy New Year!! 🤗😁
Kmart in Lebanon TN close is doors this pass month.
Same for mine in Somerset, Kentucky
Really, that was the closest one left to me, and the last one in TN.
Lol first I've seen a Kmart sign that small. I remember when the "K" rotated about "mart" which was a cool sign.
This Kmart looks very familiar, oh wait it is up the road from me. I hope you and Kayla make it back here soon. Thanks for putting your spin on this Big K.
I loved Kmart ! Ours in Steger Illinois closed last year. I hate Walmart.
I miss KMarts.
Probably have a sign ordinance that the sign can only be so big and high.
I remember in the early 80s going to kmart in liberty Ohio (before they tore it down)- had windows all along the front. Womens clothes were displayed there so you literally could go window shopping. I knew when Boardman Ohio closed it was only a matter of time.....they couldn't compete with Walmart prices.
this is MY local kmart. sucks to see it go.
Would be cool if you could get that outside sign. Might be able to do something with it being so small.
Can't believe they're playing Oasis' Champagne Supernova in there, (What's The Story) Morning Glory was the first album I ever had (on cassette) when I was a kid back in the '90s :)
JJMCB26 I still love oasis
The scavengers haven't picked it clean.
Have a Kmart Luscious day:)
It's going to be about a 7 hour long round trip but I have to get up here when it closes, or right before it closes. It'll be the last time I've ever in one of them, I would think.
No more Kmart's in VA our last two just closed and is this the last time in Ohio too
Hello Kayla & Wallie!
The many windows on the front of this store make it more inviting to shop at than the bricked over stores.
Bi-k is the way I read the sign above the doors 🤣
Hi Kayla & Wallie and shame on Eddie Fart Head and happy New Year 2020 and have a kmart luscious day
Nice video Wallie. This is my closest Kmart now, it’s very sad to see all these close.
My local sears is closing and it’s the last one in central Virginia funny enough it’s the most busy it has ever been as nobody would walk past the at home store but now from the at home to the sears it’s always busy.
Should try and buy that tiny street sign from the liquidator
Our K-Mart in Bismarck, ND is closing soon... the employees there will get jobs at the new Cosco...
so no big deal...
Another old school K mart meets it's end no thanks to Eddie Lamprey.
Your girls cute, love the blue hair, keep doing what you're doing, love it!
Another dumpert victim. Isn't there still a couple go ahead stores in PA. Otherwise you'll be going to Marshall Michigan for your nearest one.
There still one in Windgap pa
This one looks well maintained compared to others. I follow their page on Facebook and their employees really cared about keeping the store going. I really didn't expect them to close it so soon.

I love the Kmart metal band and their first album should be blue light special. Lol
Could you do Wilkes-Barre?
Thete is a store in tallmadge ohio that is closer to you and it is now closing too unfortunately
Hi Wallie this is Grant. there’s an abandoned Ruby Tuesday restaurant in Lancaster, Pa. I still have a big Kmart up in my area in Augusta, Maine 🙂
From a Sens fan, Merry "Penguins-Rout-the-Sens" Day! 5-2 the score now, ugh. (lol)
When does this Kmart closed date

Have to drive out an hour half to the nearest KMart that's closing! i want me some signage!!
Did u go to see Nate
I really am afraid by this time next year there will be no more Kmarts.
Do BERWICK Kmart
Kmart is fading a w a y . . .
Tom O'Neill All bc of Eddie Lampert he is ruining the company by closing every single Kmart and Sears..
Cam Howe He saved them just to ruin them on his own.
The problem for day one with Lambert was he was playing it from both sides. He had money invested in the success of the company and was also betting against it at the same time, and taking every asset he could get for himself.
If he had invested solely in the success of the company and actually listened to executives with retail experience K-mart and Sears would be growing today instead of the opposite.
The song of the Kmarts:

It sucks that Eddie Dumpert is killing Kmart. But, you know loves Joe Boxer? Joe Mama.
