- With only three Kmart stores remaining in the continental United States, we had to visit this location in the Miami, Florida area at the Kendale Lakes Shopping Center... just two weeks before Christmas. Enjoy our video tour of this Kmart in what could be one of the last holiday seasons remaining with an open Kmart!

I gave your video a “like” because I appreciated your work. That being said, there is absolutely nothing to like about what Eddie Lampert did to both Kmart and Sears.
You got THAT right! He treated them as his own personal piggy bank for he and his trophy wife, and ran them into the ground! He is currently enjoying a net worth of $1.7 Billion, down from $2 Billion last year. What a stooge. There can't be more than $50k of inventory at this store, multiplied by 3 remaining stores, plus the structures and land. At least he still has his Lampert's Lumber stores. Lol.
Yes and he still remain CEO of Kmart and Sears.When you cant do your job,you get fired, but not Lampert.
@@MladenVass
The only reason that he is CEO of Sears and Kmart is because he got tired of having to pay someone else to do the job. All three of the CEOs of Sears Holdings Corporation before he gave himself the job actually wanted the company to be successful, and had the necessary experience to make it happen. Unfortunately, it was more profitable for Eddie if the company failed.
@@charlesbolton8471 it failed because he didn't make the brands exciting and didn't update stores
And Eddy Lambert bought it out of bankruptcy in 2019 and now the store are even worse than it was Before and maybe he has a chance to turn it around this time but I don't gardentee he will
I used to go when I was a little kid back in the 70s and 80s. My Mom would take us and they had those little rides in front of the store. So many memories back then 🤔
I remember those rides 😀
Until 2018 when our store closed I worked for Sears. We had the absolute best associates and store management. Unfortunately the problems came from the very top of the corporate ladder. It's sad.
Bring K Mart back! Toys R Us too. Open the dining rooms of all the Pizza Huts!! Run them like the old days - independently operated as their own corporate entity
👍👍😀👍👍
There are some Dine In Pizza Hut but there are so rare to find today
@@EFT_Plumbing I really hope they open the dining rooms back up again. Yes very rare.
@@BeeRejuvenatedStudio I have been to a rare one in Fort Walton Beach, Florida back in mid-2021 not sure if that's even around anymore but it was rare back then because they closed almost all Pizza Hut dine in stores in Alabama and the majority of the closed ones were converted to family-owned or demolished for something and most of them were from the early 2000s. Mines got demolished for a Chase Bank and it was built in 2001 or 2002 and closed in 2020.
We had one in Upper Michigan that closed about three years ago and now torn down to put up a motel. I am in a small town so I miss K-mart more than words can say !
The store is closing by next month at home is buying the whole building
Now there is only two in us Westworld New Jersey and broghamton new York
I noticed the one way isle stickers are not only still there from two/three years ago... they aren't even worn out ...
It appears that all the Kmart store tours videos that were posted recently all show that the logo has been taken down on all the stores and replaced with a banner with the logo on it. Makes me question if they're slowly removing more assets or if they're planning a comeback
It is sad. I loved to shop at Kmart.
Awesome! Within the last few years the last K-mart was closed here in Buffalo, NY. It was here for years and years and finally closed. I always loved that Kmart as a kid and was fortunate enough to take my kids to the same exact location. They shut it down and now it’s a seasonal haunted house for Halloween. Great video! Thank you!

That kmart is closing it will not be downsizing and at home is buying the whole building and it will close in One month
The kmart in Florida is closings and leaving two left in us broghamton New York and Westworld New Jersey
As a former sales associate of Kmart this is so nostalgic : )
What did you do? Loot it? Hahaha!
@@243wayne1 more like loot Walmart
I worked at a Kmart up here in Canada for 4 years.
Kmart was bought out in Canada in 1998, …I miss it.
The store is closing by next month
At home is buying the whole building
The weird thing is that I still hear kmart mentioned regularly like it's an open and thriving store and nothing happened to it. I've seen people comment stuff like "run to a walmart or kmart" a few different times. On the survey site I use to make a bit of money on the side, they mention kmart along with other stores like target, walmart, etc. And the other day my mom said we should go to Kmart.. the Kmart here has been closed for at LEAST 10 years but probably closer to 20. What do you MEAN we should go to kmart??
I'm just wondering why the remaining 3 stores in the continental U.S. are still operating? Why have these locations not been liquidated a year ago in 2021? They are certainly not making a profit at these locations. Aisles of empty shelves, no in-store services, no employees, no customers, large sections of the store blocked off...It makes zero sense for these to be open.
The only explanation I can think of it is it is just some kind of lease issue - that maybe it would be more costly to close than it is to just run the leases out?
they are or at least were making a profit, the state of the stores is because of financial instability and that they only just emerged from reorganization a month ago.
@@kzoocowboyonflickr8450 The state of the stores is a direct result of Eddie Lampert treating them like his own private piggy bank for he and his trophy wife, and running them into the ground!
A big reason Kmart failed (at least in my area) is that their prices were always higher than everyone else. Look at those little BBQ's in this video, why are they $140 and $115????? I literally got that exact Weber for $50-$60 at Walmart but they want $115? That stupidity is a major reason these idiots are going down.
They are probably pricing them so high so they don't lose too much money in the liquidation sale. Kmart didn't just fail in your area, they failed nationally as a business strategy.
Eddie Lampert was trying to minimize Sears/Kmart's debt by closing all stores that weren't making a profit (which was most of them) and selling off assets (i.e. Craftsman tools). Brick-and-mortar retail, in general, is a dying business.
I would be surprised if malls still exist 25 years from now. Brick-and-mortar retail should be limited to grocery, drug and home improvement/gardening stores by then. 🤷
Walmart has raised their prices on everything because of joe Biden inflation plan
@@TuNnL Walmart stole Kmart customers and put them out of business and now Walmart raised their prices Walmart did it on purpose
@@tyeralexander7346 not sure what Walmart has to do with my comment. Perhaps you meant to respond to TheKeithCarnes. 🤷
@@TuNnL I was responding to his comment and yes I know it's has nothing to do with this video sorry
This is a sad indeed. With more and more stores and companies closing. People might find out to late what they lost. In Brevard County we had at one time at least 4 Kmart Stores. But none they are all gone.
“What they lost”? Kmart was ok in the 70s and maybe the 80s but by the 90s it was the most ghetto shopping experience possible.
Kmart never updated. Same with Sears.
I remember going to buy my grandma a microwave and ended up buying from Sears because it had the best price….BUT…..I had to take a ticket up, pay and then wait for them to bring me my microwave. This was in the late 90s when you could just walk into a Walmart or Target and buy a microwave.
The last time I went to a KMart and Sears was when I was appliance shopping around 2015.
I bought a washer and dryer from Sears….and I had two salespeople fighting at the register about who was going to get the commission….right in front of me.
I won’t miss any of that at all.
And I won’t miss the dark dingy Kmarts stocked with cheap junk either.
Time moved on, Kmart and Sears did not and it eventually caught up with them.
@@Vichedges I had at one time work for both companies. I can give you a bigger list of stores: Jefferson, Grant, Woolworth's, Treasury, Montgomery Wards and list keeps getting bigger.
Kmart was from the expansion of SS Kresge j remember when the Kmart opened in my hometown of Kankakee Illinois in 72? And the downtown Kresge closed
Kresge knew how to run a business
There are a few of them here in New Zealand. I went to one on Sunday. Fully stocked and jumping.
Your talking about the wrong one to comment here

*You're
@@perceptionmanagement2116yes You’re (you are) forgot about that
We have one of the other Kmarts on Long Island, in the Hamptons of all places. Its just as bad. Most of the store is blocked off. The merch that is left is stuff of Family Dollar/Dollar General quality, but at 2 to 3 times the price. I haven't been to it since last summer, but they still had Christmas stuff from months prior at 90% off. I wonder if kept the same Christmas aisles for last Christmas.
I will also say that I legitimately miss the Kmart in Penn Station NYC. It was a staple for train commuters. A beacon that said "welcome to the city, ya filthy out-of-towners."
You know that things are bad when even Little Ceasars pulls out.
Their agreement with LC ended years ago. Only a handful left were run by franchises who continued to pay LC royalties.
Kmart in Guam still has little Caesars in it and the kmart in vergin islands have little Caesars in it
So sad and depressing. I grew up with Kmart. It was always much more homie than Walmart
Why they keep open these 3 stores, they can close them 2 years ago.
Those strips of florescent lights and the circular HVAC vents. Is it weird for a ceiling to evoke nostalgia?
There was a super Kmart down the street from my house but they closed years and years ago. Surprisingly how long it lasted considering the prices. It has now been transformed into Seafood City, At Home, and Daiso.
The store is closing by next month at home is buying the whole building
Leaving two i.n us in Westworld New Jersey and broghamton new York
You think it'll still be around this summer?
You look at the specific merchandise Kmart is carrying, and they've become a glorified dollar store with a much, much higher price. It's fallen so, so far from what it once was in the 90's.
Very good point. You're right, it basically is just an overpriced dollar store with way more empty space.
@@brostocks Walmart prices are just as high as Kmart now
@@brostocks Walmart stole their customers and put them out of business and now Walmart raised their prices they knew what they were doing and Walmart did it on purpose
That's kmart is now closing
At home Said they wanted the whole building now the store is closing and it will not be downsizing it will permanently closing in one month
What I’m curious about is shipping and distribution. Where do they get the products? Do they still have a warehouse? Given there are only 3 stores left I’m genuinely curious how their inventory is obtained and stored.
i'm pretty sure they don't get new inventory considering how many shelves were empty when i went. as far as i can tell, they're just trying to sell remaining old stock. I'm not quite sure though
Naw. Kmart is making a killing overseas in NZ and Australia. They say they are not related, but they are. A lot of the products come from the Oceania region.
@@LynxStarAuto Don't forget Guam, they have a super huge Kmart there and doing very well.
@@preechahsooksawat7052 That's because it is run by a different entity and in Guam you really don't have much choice in the way of shopping.
I live in the area of this store, and in one of my trips to the hobby lobby a few doors down I decided to go by there just to check it out, the store was emptier than this, all remaining merchandise was pushed to a corner of the store, I'm not sure if the remodeling is still going on, but it looked to me like it was closing more than being remodeled.
Now it's an at home store
@@JC-vh4jj I passed by there yesterday, it's kind of still there, they condensed it all to a smaller space to the left of that new "At home" store but I doubt it will last long.
Wow, great work!
It’s so poorly stocked. So sad.
Of all the crazy things this company did to Kmart and Sears, this one has to be the topper. Just when I thought they couldn't do something even more off the wall, they did. Downsizing the store in to the Garden Center? And this is still not actually completed as of yet? Who would shop in this store in its current state? It actually look like an alternate world inside. They need to give up this charade and close the remaining stores and be done with it. This has gone on far too long. It's sad.
The store is closing
By next month
At home is buying the whole store
Leaving two left one in Westworld New Jersey and broghamton new York
@@tyeralexander7346 There are some Kmarts in other countries
It is easy to be 'sad' about this.
But instead, we should see it as a natural progression in our lives.
Things come.
Things go.
The world never stops changing....it never stops remaking itself.
We don't get that opportunity. Instead, we have mortality. Death.
I don't want to fear my mortality. And I don't want to fear the worlds ever changing nature.
Don't be sad. See it as an opportunity to share with your kids ...about the time you were a "K Mart Shopper".
The AT HOME stores went into several old KMARTS in WISCONSIN. Surprisingly, they have a lot of good stuff like patio furniture an enormous flower pots, umbrellas, and outdoor things too. It's worth taking a look at.
The store is closing
It will not be downsizing at home is buying the whole building
And be closing in One month and leave two in us one in Westworld new jerseyand broghamton New York
Where are the Christmas decorations in the store? Are they getting ready to close for good?
when the exterior sign is sad, the exterior speaks for what lies inside. I wonder where their buyer for products is located; local or in IL
Exaaaaaaaaaaaactly... It's a vinyl banner.
Wow... not much left!
Fast Eddie wanted Sears & Kmart for real estate. Forbes said Kmart had better chance at a turn around after reorganization but Kmarts seemed to be the first to go as it was Sears firewood but hey 2 Sears were re-opened in one in CA and another in WA. Maybe he will have to reopen more stores as no one wants to lease or buy them.
As of a month or two ago, the New Jersey location closed, leaving only two K-Marts left in the US
The Kmart in Guam is thriving and looks 💯 times better they set the standard of what Kmart should be
I drive by this store everyday. Live right off Krome and Kendall DR.
In this video it looks clear and the shelves look full and some of the other shelves look empty and the store looks clean and the floors in the store are so clean.
I wish I could still shop at Kmart. I saw Ames is supposed to be coming back.
What's Ames?

Would’ve liked to see more around the store
I do not understand why they just do not pull the plug on the rest of them. Kmart use to be the place back in the day. And it sad to see what has happended to them. Now they are just sad and dumps. It just need to be put down already. I wish they could have kept up with the times. We keep lossing so many now days. But Kmart it time go to the light,
It makes me wonder how they can afford to stay open with almost nothing on the shelves. Through the whole video, it seems there were no associates on the floor and no customers as well. The bare shelves, empty floor space and poor lighting make stores like this unattractive to customers and they're not going to stay long. They probably won't buy anything either. It's sad to see what Kmart has become. It's come from a titan of the retail industry to a dead company just barely getting by.
This kmart was so huge back in the day.
No. It wasn't. It was the same size as it stands today actually... Class dismissed.
they have part of the store cut off from customers
I just went in the "remodeled" side of Kmart. It's about the size of a dollar tree now. Sad to see how far they've fallen.
This kmart bin slowly.downsizing all year. The kmart in new jersy is the next big hit coming
Cool video. What a joke however. They can't have more than $50K of inventory in there. Multiplied by three stores. They're keeping the last three Kmarts open with a total of $150K in inventory plus the buildings and land. For what? The plastic Kmart banner on the outside of the store instead of actual Kmart signage is the last straw of what's to come. Also the flip flops on sale outside for $2-3 dollars. (Sidewalk sale) Hahaha!
Looks like 2/3 of the store if empty
THERE IS 20 KMARTS LEFT HOW MUCH TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS
Is Kmart still active down there?
Yeah but theres only 2 left
This is the K-Mart on Kendall Drive (88th st).
I hope they put the old Kmart sign they took down and put it up bridgehamton Kmart that needs it
they don't care at all about trying to maintain anything at this point, they know there will be no company soon. Keeping some operating right now has to just be to satisfy some lease or other odd agreement issue.
Okay if they didn't care why didn't they let it die and go out of business in 2019

Kmart should sell small business products in their .. like small businesses from Ticktok and youtubers that would put them up in the market and thats unique then open an online store and sell small business products like Etsy .. they should make there own Etsy Amazon type deal but work with creators .. I would put my products in their for free and I’m sure other small businesses would to
The old KM by my house became Grandma’s Adult Video and Sex Toy Emporium. They have a seafood snack bar that serves the best bearded clams this side of the Pacific. The Tuna Taco is tasty also.
