@Egmont I agree about the rose colored glasses. There was a lot of BS and misery going on. My favorite line, from the worst movie ever (Superman 4) is when Lex Luthor asks Supe, "Is the world gonna vaporize?" And Supe says, "No Luthor...it'll be like it always was...on the brink...with good fighting evil". All that said, I do believe it was a happier place...I've been saying for 10 years now, that smartphones and social media have greatly contributed to the demise of simple mental health and happiness in this country.
It's amazing how much pride went into their store. That guy in the speech was right, pride drives the business, but when Kmart lost their pride, they lost the customer.
Kmart was already wandering into confusion by this point, with its purchases of Builder's Square, Waldenbooks etc. and its losing its tech & supply chain edge to Wal-Mart and Target.
Oh please. They lost their store because the were being goobers and marching around the store chanting "Acme Kmart!" How completely humiliating!!! Were I a customer who saw that, I'd vomit and walk out of the store!!!
@@turtleislandlac1490Australian Kmarts are owned by a completely separate company 😂. Just take a look at them!!! They look so gorgeous!!! NOTHING like US Kmarts, in which they are trapped in the 90s…
Michigander my whole life. Never visited Acme though. Always wanted to visit the Acme factory and all their historical artifacts on display of Wile E Coyote.
I love the "No applause until the end" policy that was urged. That shows respect for ALL of the members of the staff, and that no single person is worthy of MORE applause than another. It's all about the "Team". As a person of 59 years of age (And having been through a LOT of "corporate politics" through my years in the workforce), This philosophy of true "Team-Building" REALLY needs to be brought back. Kmart was a legendary example of "Pride & Integrity" in the workplace.
What a great time to be alive I was 18yrs old in Aug/89 and getting ready for my senior year of high school such great times. All Kmart's in my city have since closed, so sad.
Thanks! I made sure to grab the VHS tape before the store closed. I was afraid of it being thrown away and lost forever. It's such an interesting little artifact.
@@Ubertrash Were you part of the original opening crew or were you just the lucky person who happened to be the custodian of this tape? Thank you for sharing this with us. What wonderful memories
@@AnotherTruth I was working there on the last day and got the tape from Lori, who was the only remaining original employee. She's in that video somewhere, but I'm not sure where.
I miss Kmart too! And the 80's! Sad thing is, I feel like the 80's and 80's teenagers specifically, is a big part of what led to Kmart's demise. Sure, there were other factors too, but that Kmart shame they laid down back then was intense.
I love this video, I was 12 years old in 1989 in Toronto, Canada, as a school student and I remember the 80s good, seems like it was only yesterday that this time period appeared....You don't see much of this atmosphere today, things have really changed since.... 1989 - This was a team looking out for one another 2022 - You are all on your own, no help next door
16:30 look at that floor- no carpet. For those who say Big Kmart did nothing more than rearrange shelves and paint, look how there's no carpet on the floor prior to Big Kmart. Look how there are no coolers (Pantry area was added meaning new coolers, meaning new wiring for the coolers). There were also no price scanners, and the Customer Service was brown/black (and couldn't allow for wheelchairs). All these were changed during Big Kmart's renovation. So you can see how much Big Kmart changed, they brought in new fixtures, new paint, carpet, and really did upgrade Kmart.
Carpet? C'mon you're pushing it. Who cares. I loved K-Mart and would still go there if it was still around me. One thing I noticed at my particular K-Mart. Was they just stopped caring. Place was a mess. Shelves were out of whack. Stuff in random places. In the 90s and prior. They were more organized and seem to care more about how the store looked. I prefer the old fashioned look. Just need to keep it clean and presentable.
Same. I also wish Kmart never bought other retailers (Borders, Sports Authority, etc.) and instead used that money to renovate its own stores. If American companies didn't try to build corporate empires, I bet they'd be in better financial shape in some ways.
My little sister worked at this Kmart for a few years in the 2010's, still remember the last time I shopped there December 2016 a few months before it closed.
This is the last k mart. January 2017 I went here before they closed they get some boots and Say Goodbye to an icon. My great-aunt worked at 1 in Niles Michigan for 30-plus years. She worked at the pizza place in back. (Little Caesars) I been to 3 k marts my life Niles Michigan closed Sturgis Michigan closed Acme Twp Michigan closed It is sad 😢 that a company close down. Tyler Yaw/Melton YM Jan 13 2019
Thank you for this video. I do Special Olympics in Michigan. The Kmart give me my boots I needed two in the race. And I still have them today I still use them. And I'm not getting rid of them.
November 21st 2021 Will be the last day the Kmart will be open in Marshall Michigan. The last Kmart in the state of Michigan. th-cam.com/channels/CKtJ3mIdF_tpWhukGWKG-w.html Very very sad
I absolutely LOVE this. I was a 21 year old penny stock broker in Sarasota when this came out, actually I'd turn 22 the month prior. I remember these days when people weren't staring at their phones and not everyone was fat. God, it doesn't seem that long ago to me but shit, that is fucked up.
Is it just another "those were the good old days?" Or was it really so? Im partial to the 80s myself. And seeing this just reinforces my view. Those aliens that landed in South Africa told the schoolchildren "technology will destroy you." Of course they were right. We are basically fleshy fat drones now.
One thing I also noticed is compared to 37 years ago is how seemingly demoralized the shoppers look....Sure a grand opening might be something folks get a bit excited about but even so the difference in mood between those in 1989 and those seen in 2017 is shocking.
This is hard to watch. Here, in Australia, all of our Kmarts are thriving. This kind of pride is very much alive here too. I don't think it's just the different product offerings that took US Kmart under.
Great footage of Kmart store in 1989 I was in middle school. You should of show this retro footage to Wallieb26. He's on you tube alot and he love abandoned department stores and restaurants and abandoned malls, his girlfriend is Kayla she's from Texas and he's from Pennsylvania. Thanks for sharing.
Went to Kmart alot growing up in the town i grew up in Minnesota the store went out of business in 2014 and hasn't had anything go in there since sad if you ask me it was actually always clean and updated compared to the pamida we had to which is gone to now a gymnastics place atleast something is in that place.
1989 was the peak of American society...... It shocks me to see how far we have fallen in 30 years... Women were sweeter and more approachable. Sure, they are tougher and more rugged today, but those women were happy back then..... We were a solid country back then, a unified people.
Least favorite faux leadership technique exhibited with the asking for a louder "Good morning". Added points for making sure they added, "boss". Right out of the Michael Scott School of Management. 16:35
I couldn't believe that they couldn't think of anything more creative or inspiring to chant than "Acme Kmart". I was thinking Kmart didn't have to be too innovative back then to be successful. This store probably put scores of mom-and-pop businesses in Acme out of business plus probably some older chain stores (like 5&10 and variety stores).
It's not as much of a Midwestern accent (that would include states like IA, NE, and MO) as much as it is a "Great Lakes" accent. It encompasses MN (a variation), northern IL, MI, WI, northern OH & IN, and extends into Buffalo and parts of upstate NY. Chris Farley did a great takeoff on the accent in the SNL "Superfans" skits.
@@lbputzer This makes sense because even folks from Rochester sound like that. (Though on the Canadian side of the lakes the accent is different but some aspects of it are the same.). By the time you get to Syracuse it’s very light. Thanks for giving me some new vocab! Now you have me curious what people from IA and NE sound like; however, not curious enough to actually visit those places :)
The store isn't there but the building is still standing. I'm from Grand Rapids but come up to that area at least once a year and still drive past that old Kmart building. I don't think anything is currently occupying the space, I'm pretty sure it's abandoned - at least it sure seemed that way when we were up there a couple weeks ago.
Back then people acted like grown up adults. They dressed like it and behaved like it. The women were mature and professional with 80's hairstyles and men were mature and masculine. Today something is very different.
This is so true! The women in dresses and high heels..80’s hairstyles had a lot to be desired but nevertheless looked very professional..and the men in suits..geez what does it take for a man to wear a suit nowadays..what a different world we live in now.
The shift in attitudes is so weird. I was just a kid when this video was made, but even I vividly remember in the 80s and 90s how younger people were trying to act so mature and be sophisticated and successful. Now adults are wearing onesies or pajama pants, coloring in coloring books, and you can't tear them away from their video games. I moved out of my parents house at the end of the summer the year I graduated high school. We thought anyone who was living with their parents beyond that were total losers.
It's fascinating how the same video can illicit completely opposite takeaways. After watching this, I was reminded of exactly how jarringly dreadful 80s fashions were: the women in their football player shoulder pads and big, over processed, frizzy hair and the men in their baggy suits & loud ties. While it's true that more formal professional attire is not as common in the workplace as it was 30 years ago, the folks who still dress up today (finance, etc,) take their cue from the classics of the previous decades (30s-early 60s). The period of the mid-60s to the mid-90s was an era of extremes. The colors, patterns, lapels, tie widths, etc veered from one ugly exaggeration to another. Even though this was the "era of my youth" I'm delighted these styles are dead & gone.
As of this comment their are 3 K-Marts left in the whole country and 20 full service Sears stores. Walmart invested in their own distribtion centers and purchased their own trucks while maintaining and updating their stores, Kmart dd nothing. This allowed Walmart to operate at less expense than Kmart. This enabled Walmart to beat Kmart's prices up and down the aisles and take their customers.
Wow cheerleaders and all..in today’s world you’d have to pull teeth to get that many women to wear past-knee length dresses and high heels. And the men in suits..I miss the 80’s..The end of this video was sobering.
it was, it made it past 2001, so it was around in the next century (store opened in 1989, the 20th century, and was there for the 21st century in 2001- technically 2000 was the last year of the 20th century because there was no year zero).
Oh Mr Johnson is a Big Wig at K-Mart he is a very important man, if he can see how fast i can put this cream corn on the shelf he be sure to notice me a possibly make me a dept manger .
The Boss made the Women say GOOD MORNING BOSS... and The GM called his employees YOU PEOPLE multiple times. I GUARANTEE YOU ... That this GM was a real P.O.S. to work for... and I wouldn't be surprised if he had sexual harassment charges filed on him a few times while he was alive for the misogynistic ego boosts he is forcing these ladies to do while in this video.
the tools who introduced this crap are exactly what kmart wished all their employees turned into. Too bad they saw through the fasad and destroyed the company as deserved.
The world was a happier place
That's what i was just thinking. I was 1 year old.
No cellphones that’s why. But they had to dress up all the time

I believe I saw a gentleman named Roger Roberts (as a young man) as the employees were walking saying, "Acme Kmart ."
I was hoping I would see the toys and video game aisles.
Yeah, they got a little too focused on the ceremony. Would have been nice to see the rest of the store.
In business almost thirty years.
2 weeks later it was the grand closing
And now this store at 6455 US-31, Williamsburg, MI 49690 is empty.... so odd. I wonder where all these people seen here work now.
I love the way Midwesterners say "mart" in Kmart
whoa suckaa I found it surprising how much stronger the accents were back then.
I couldn't believe that they couldn't think of anything more creative or inspiring to chant than "Acme Kmart". I was thinking Kmart didn't have to be too innovative back then to be successful. This store probably put scores of mom-and-pop businesses in Acme out of business plus probably some older chain stores (like 5&10 and variety stores).
It's actually the way they say the "a" in Acme too. It's very Sarah Palin-like.
It's not as much of a Midwestern accent (that would include states like IA, NE, and MO) as much as it is a "Great Lakes" accent.
