I just explored an abandoned Kmart in my area, door was wide open and I just walked in! So much fun! It even had a Thank you for shopping our Big Kmart sign in the front! And I said look at the front where it says Kmart real big!
Super cool! What location? Had a similar experience here at the former Kmart in Allentown pa. Doors open and sign on the wall. Registers even intact too.
@@bretesenftleben8576 I live in Mckinleyville CA the sign was all that was left, other then that it was completely stripped of everything! Still cool to explore though! So many memories.😥
Very painful to watch these Kmart videos. I was in management with them from the middle 80's to mid 90's. Was at four different stores in Alabama. Great times back then. Including one store I was at still had the ole reel to reel tape deck.
Mine Opened in around 1989 and closed in 2018, it was the Hermitage PA location, it actually Closed the same day as the Last Kmart Super Center, it's Now a Big Lots and Gabe's
we had 2 in our area Eureka closed September 2017 McKinleyville Closed Summer 2020. I was in this one in Feburary the same year on the way to Home Depot.
My hometown Kmart is now hobby lobby,dollar tree , pet supplies plus and 5 below across from meijer store in stow which used to have a plaza with the original Kresge store
There's an abandoned K Mart in Yorktown Heights, New York which is directly adjacent to an abandoned Food Emporuim Supermarket (part of the old A&P Cluster)
It's really cool to see another abandoned KMart video. I really do miss KMart and shopping in the store. It's a bummer that you forgot your light panel. At least you got inside and explore the old KMart. Have a KMartlicious Day!
Was there, when it was still there, they were really dead though. My cousins live there so I decided to go with my mom, and my aunt and my cousin that doesn’t live in Jamestown
Yep, thats my KMart, I miss it every day. I swear they left the sign on the building just to taunt me. It would be cool to see wallie explore it someday!
That is about the right number of keys you would find in every Kmart. Every store had a key box usually in the store managers office. They would be numbered and hopefully marked with what the key was for.
You should check out the Walmart in Navasota, Texas. It still has the logo with the hyphen and it's really small. It got a new paint job but kept the hyphen logo.
That little room was the cash office when you needed a cash bag at your start of shift for a register this is where you would receive it and turn it in at end of your shift. There would have been a full safe in there.
It was kinda strange seeing a cash office behind the counter of the snack bar. I thought it would have been way in the back of the store, where it's more secure.
@@christiangonzales7429my guess is cart storage. None of my stores had this. However look at the dark tinted glass in the vestibule on the same side as that room. Is probably where the carts came inside.
@@MarksKicksOnRoute66 I didn't notice that initially. You're right, it looks like it might be the cart chute like ones Walmart had (with the tiny half-doors at their older stores). This is just a bigger version of that.
Good video! Wallie! You were in my state where I live! Nice to see part of that Kmart used as something else. That one room you went in, was really really dark!
I like how they just left the building plans there on the floor. That's a nice find. Besides that and seeing part of a Kmart Larry was the highlight of this video 👍 I like kitties.
Good late 🌄 Wallie 👍 kmart video, I've would of grabbed the kmart 🔑, I wish I can go inside my abandoned hyannis Kmart, I don't go to hyannis anymore , I miss Kmart, have an awesome kmart velicous day, Delores Jordan
Theres a abandoned kmart and a former ben franklin store thats now a sheriff department and then theres a former ames thats still being used for two different business here in towanda pa
Instead of look at the front where it says AMES so real big it’s look at the front where it would’ve said it Kmart real big that was a amazing clip nice job getting in there though and yeah congratulations.
I want to say you were right about the Hobby Lobby being split from the Kmart and not the old Dick's because the service desk, Little Caesars, and the fitting rooms all took up that side of the store. My hometown Kmart in Phenix City, Alabama was built identical to that. When the stores are built with front entrances near the corner of the store the snack bars or eaterys are normally on the side wall where this one was as the stores with the entrance in the center of the front wall have their snack bars either on the front wall or in the back of the store normally
in my case since I am a nut for keys I would have taken em all dang it. I love keys and I would carry around keys that go to stuff and have ones that done and I would feel like a janitor with all the keys.
Those are all kmart keys. Ask anyone who ever had access to the cash office key box. Every store had tons and tons of keys. Always seemed like Management was afraid to throw old ones away incase they were needed for something. That room, with the small window, was the cash office. The small window was used if something had to be handed in/out of the office when someone was working inside.
2016 was last time I walked into a K-Mart and that's cause there fucking prices were INSANE !! Much more than Walmart/Target. I see why they're going out of business dying a slow death
Document these while you still can they are becoming few and far between the ones in my area have been torn down or repurposed into Amazon distribution centers
I love black fluffy Larry cat. I have two cats, but the black one is short haired and shinny sleek.
WALL ART 🖼️ AND ACES ADVERTISED!!!!!!!! Hell yeah 🫡

No video?
@@christiangonzales7429 no unfortunately I was not able to get a video! I'm gonna go back and try again!
Larry is so cute!
So happy you got to collaborate with Ace again! Been waiting for that for a while!
Your car Larry looks like my black cat Ollie andddd “LOOK AT THE MARK WHERE IT USE TO SAY KMART REAL BIG “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣womp
Instead of “” Pizza Pizza “” the tag line of this particular Little Caesars location is
“” Empty Empty “” 🍕
Empty-Empty, LOL.
lol
Lol
Awesome job !!!!!!
Great job as always Wallie! So cool that you were able to just walk right in there.
rip kmart and all of the dead stores.. glad its folks out there to document them
Your black kitty cat Larry is such a cutie!
Loved the Larry cameo!
Sad to see just 11 Kmarts left in the continental US but good video WallieB26
RIP Kmart. Their time is coming soon!

Were you ever at the Phenix City store?
Makes me miss Kmart even more. Our Kmart also closed in 2016.
No Kmarts here in Texas. I'm in the Houston area, ours closed way back in 2003.
Mine Opened in around 1989 and closed in 2018, it was the Hermitage PA location, it actually Closed the same day as the Last Kmart Super Center, it's Now a Big Lots and Gabe's

Eureka closed September 2017
McKinleyville Closed Summer 2020. I was in this one in Feburary the same year on the way to Home Depot.
This would be a perfect size store for spirit store
Awesome getting in. I sometimes get to a place and I got skeptical, but ends up being a good find. Glad you checked the door.
11:27 alterative universe of "Oh look at the front where it says ames real big"
The Dicks Sporting Goods actually moved up to the Eastview mall where the former Sears was. Bigger space probably.
It's actually now a House of Sport. So much bigger and better, and only one of two in the country... So far.
What a cute kitty! Seems very lovable! 🐱🐱🐱
great video i was in there and filmed as well!
Although I liked Kmart , I still mourn the demise of Hills stores that were in Ohio 😢
My hometown Kmart is now hobby lobby,dollar tree , pet supplies plus and 5 below across from meijer store in stow which used to have a plaza with the original Kresge store
Half abandoned Kmart in victor, new York is now hobby lobby the other half still abandoned.
That room with the lock on the door was the cash office, where they count out the drawers for cash registers..
YES! Two of my favorite explorers! 😁
There's an abandoned K Mart in Yorktown Heights, New York which is directly adjacent to an abandoned Food Emporuim Supermarket (part of the old A&P Cluster)
YES! YOU FINALLY DID A CROSSOVER WITH ANTHONY! THANK YOU!
great video wallie. sad to see a abandoned Kmart.
It's really cool to see another abandoned KMart video. I really do miss KMart and shopping in the store. It's a bummer that you forgot your light panel. At least you got inside and explore the old KMart. Have a KMartlicious Day!
There's An Abandoned Kmart In Jamestown, NY By The Home Depot & Wegmans.
He filmed it when it was closing
Was there, when it was still there, they were really dead though. My cousins live there so I decided to go with my mom, and my aunt and my cousin that doesn’t live in Jamestown
Yep, thats my KMart, I miss it every day. I swear they left the sign on the building just to taunt me. It would be cool to see wallie explore it someday!
@@cyruscuckler9301 it’s disappointing to see all of them close.
So sad it's gone that was my childhood Kmart I grew up in Lakewood but now am living in California!
Yes Kmart
that was so cool Building of the kmart and you guys find the master plans of the split of the building how cool was that Thanks again Wallie :D

That Walmart is as old-school as they come!
Yes! A Kmart! Sad to see it gone, but looks like it'll be a great video regardless!

@@christiangonzales7429 that's behind the customer service desk not the snack bar.
@@MarksKicksOnRoute66 What was the room at 11:46 (to the right of the doors) used for?

Awe Larry is so handsome . Great video too.
NY? Is no abandoned K-Mart safe from Wallie's camera? Lol!
Thanks guys.😊

2:33 Poor K cafe and ceiling fans...
Who the hell cares about a ceiling fan? Hope it was scrapped n burned just like my snatch was by my son.
Who cares about a ceiling fan? Hope it was burned like my downstairs was by my son
@@barbchandler5730 You know what? SHUT the heck up ok? Because I care about ceiling fans and I don't care about what you say.😒
Sweet find. Me, being the butthole I am, would've went full Kool-Aid Man through that drywall into that Hobby Lobby 🤣
LMAO!!!!! That would be hilarious. Haha
@@WallieB26 i used to live behind a k mart as little girl back in the mid 70's early 80's
And Then Kool-Aid Man Goes to Jail, never to be seen on TV ever again!
I noticed that in the little Caesar’s, despite everything being broken and removed, the ceiling fans were like brand new still! Very strange
Awesome one on this. The blueprints are a really cool find. Hi Larry
Good late 🌄 Wallie 👍 kmart video, I've would of grabbed the kmart 🔑, I wish I can go inside my abandoned hyannis Kmart, I don't go to hyannis anymore , I miss Kmart, have an awesome kmart velicous day, Delores Jordan

Have you done the wendys in loogootee Indiana and there are a bunch of places
Larry is the star of the channel!... very quiet type!
Love Larry. He looks like my JJ.
Jeez, this one reminded me of a certain K Mart I explored not too long ago, completely empty but still worth it
wow so cool aces i like lary too so cool cat

Did you hear any ghostly echoes of, "attention Kmart shoppers?" :D
I wish. Haha
Omg Larry! Great vid!
Give Larry a pet for me! Awesome explore and very cute cat.
Thank you! Larry will not turn down pets! Haha
Hail Larry!

Totally awesome vid
Nice vid!!!
You sould go back to the one in North Versailles a Pennsylvania it is now a uhaul place
Attention Kmart Shoppers
Larry's awesome!
You should shoot some videos at the old steel mills out in Pittsburgh their Wally I would be interested in seeing some of them

I want that soap dispenser
Great job
You should do the former Kmart building in Terre Haute Indiana
Too Bad You Weren't able to Check out our Old Kmart in Hermitage PA, Atleast it's Used Now as a Big lots and Gabe's
I did a video there when they were liquidating. It's been awhile. And actually I was just in that Big Lots last month!
@@WallieB26 I knew about that video lol
The former one in Oak Ridge Tn has a Planet Fitness right in the middle. The prison yard is still there.
@wallieb26, looks like u can't get any big gas savings nor ship your pants at this location, obviously, lol!:).
Hahaha!
Awesome video
in my case since I am a nut for keys I would have taken em all dang it. I love keys and I would carry around keys that go to stuff and have ones that done and I would feel like a janitor with all the keys.
The hobby lobby was the rug mart

WallieB26, really enjoyed your video!
Great video, have you ever had the police show up while you were exiting an abandoned establishment?
Great
look at the front where it says ames real big lol
Awww kitty kitty
2016 was last time I walked into a K-Mart and that's cause there fucking prices were INSANE !! Much more than Walmart/Target. I see why they're going out of business dying a slow death
The Victor Kmart closed in 2017
I came for the urbex, but I stayed for the Larry
Where was the bathrooms
I think they were on the Hobby Lobby side. There was a restroom inside the Little Caesars, immediately to the left when coming in.
My kmart is already another business (Runnings)
i was at key west is a Kmart open
Theres an abandoned Toys R Us in Rochester, Minnesota
this def had to have been an unopened amazon fresh
Why not film in the hobby lobby next to it so we see the connection it had to the Kmart
Had I been driving I would have. We were in Anthony's car and were on his schedule. I would have if I was driving my vehicle.
@@WallieB26 I have a hunch the Hobby Lobby still retains the Kmart look for the most part, although with a few grommet modifications.
Document these while you still can they are becoming few and far between the ones in my area have been torn down or repurposed into Amazon distribution centers
Is this in long island
Yoo Larry!!!!!
I hope you have learn to bring your lights where ever you are going. Because you never know when you'll need them.
I like larry
Like #79
I enjoy Larry
All of our Kmarts get repurposed into other stores.
