  • Abandoned Kmart - St. Albans, WV. Enjoy a look at this location that closed its doors many years ago. Stop work orders were put up, but it appears that it may not have done any good as halfway through the video, music can be heard inside of the building with a door open.

    Evil Eddie destroyed Kmart more than any vandalism did.

    St. Albans is my home town and I grew up about 4 blocks from there. I’ve been in that store hundreds of times - I’m pretty sure I was in there the day it opened. That used to be a thriving shopping center. In fact, the strip mall that adjoins it started life as an indoor shopping mall. The building on the parking lot was a Ponderosa, but several restaurants have been in there since it closed.

    I used to shop in this Kmart as a child in the 90's with my mom along with the krogers that is further down on the other side of the shopping center. This place also had a garden center and across the lot was a ponderosa restaurant that also now is something else or may be abandoned. I grew up in this area as a child as well, mom used to buy summer clothes for the swimming pool we'd go to in charleston.

    I looked up info about this Kmart and came across an article and an obituary of someone who passed away from working Inside of this building. Those “stop work order” signs might’ve had something to do with this. Sad.

    Dude, it's awesome that you're dedicated to exploring all these abandoned Kmarts. I'm sure it takes a lot of time and energy, not to mention the miles you must put on your G5! 😄 It's always interesting to see what these buildings look like after they've been abandoned, but it would be even better to see them repurposed and used again.

    Kmart failed to modernize witch is one of the reasons they went out of business.

    Can’t believe they shut down every Kmart in WV and forced everyone to either mobile for miles to a Walmart or use Amazon.

    Saint Albans is overrun with vagrants. They have been known to break in and stay in the building. That may be what you hear. They are drawn to the town due to the numerous freebies and lax enforcement. This is one of the main reasons no other business has set up in the town and in this building. It is sad because Saint Albans was once a thriving area. It could be again with better leadership and effort. It is sad actually.

    Kmart used to have the best Christmas layaway program. I would do all my Xmas shopping in August, and put on layaway, and pick up right before Christmas. It was so nice. lol

  • @lesgibson1924

    The sign was from a couple of years ago when the post office used the space for Christmas time.

  • @crazycoollady

    It's interesting that you mention abandoned Kmarts being more scarce. The Kmart in my area, which closed in 2018, is still standing even though they were going to demolish it years ago.

    My grandparents use to take us to the k Mart in St Albans Wv the 70,s & 80s , I worked at a K Mart in Teays Valley WV in the early 90, nice to see someone showing some respect to the store that have had to close because of Wal Mart,s . When I worked at K Mart we were told that Wal Mart would always open a new store close to a K Mart to run K Mart out of business,

    Wow, this was a blast from the past! I’m from this area, and I remember shopping for any and every occasion at this Kmart, and the one in Teays Valley, Wv (that building is now Kroger).
