Former Kmart #4188

NOTE: This post comes from outside the blog's coverage area.

For the month of July, we take a look at what was West Virginia's first Kmart store which opened in 1967 with a Kmart foods. One thing that makes this particular location kind of unique is that the Kmart foods area actually had at least part of its storefront at an angle. Part of the space went to expanding Kmart itself while the rest became other tenants. Weight Watchers and The Shape Shop Cafe occupied the remaining space at the time the pictures below were taken.

This location was also the third to last Kmart store in West Virginia when it closed in 2018. Only Elkview and the other Charleston Kmart (Kanawha) lasted longer.
