  4. There's rumors a few others that weren't announced would also close. In addition Vornado bought out Kmart's Astor Place (NY) lease: http://evgrieve.com/2018/01/are-kmarts-days-numbered-on-astor-place.html

    1. So I saw. That store will no doubt likely be closing soon.
      As for the others, it isn't shocking news.

  5. Sad, sad, sad...

    Besides the Super K, I visited the Indianapolis-Thompson Rd location over the summer, and I visited St. Albans in 2016.
