Closeup of the entrance. Note this store has the 'Big K' sign up where Olean does not. |
Kmart building on the right. Wegmans on the left. I previously did a post on this particular Wegmans location back in December 2015. Wegmans is likely the reason why this Kmart never expanded. |
Good reuse of an older tagline found on endcaps. |
There is also this wavy blue line in here for some reason. Best guess is that it had something to do with the 1-hr photo lab. |

Peeking through the curtains in the past. |
The current use. |
At least it isn't a curtain wall! |
I find this to be a little tacky. |
A look from the former cafe out to the rest of the store. |
The doorway to the portrait studio was located to the left of the recycling machines. |

The checker tile is also a supercenter indication. |
Looking at the left side of the store. Layaway is toward to the background on the left here. |
Clothing |
Quite a few ''90s price scanner signs are still 'hanging' around at this store. |
The following three pictures are taken from three separate visits showing the change of Kmart's electronics department.
Original layout |
Transition |
Half of electronics is now appliances. |
A look at the store's front actionway. |
This store uses a different style of price-tags then what I'm used to seeing. |
In Danger of Closing?: In my opinion, this one is a toss up. If you recall, this store was one of 100 stores that mysteriously vanished off of Kmart's state locator. I personally wondered if that list was a hint at possible store closures. At this point in time, a few of those stores which were on that list have closed or announced closures, but not in the Twin Tiers coverage area. I imagine this store barely manages to hang on at times.
