I generally felt this store was somewhat busy, even if a Walmart was across the street. It was easy to navigate and quite organized. The only drawback was likely the age of the building.
In Danger of Closing?
Obviously. Announced to be closing in July 2017.
I like the shingles and the gray paint on the interior! I thought the tile floor looked nice too, until the photos where you can tell Kmart replaced them with mismatched ones. Plus electronics looks terrible. :/
ReplyDeleteThe gray is nice and different. Electronics is pretty much that way everywhere. To be fair though this picture was taken right around that time when they were transitioning from full electronics to half appliances.
DeleteWow! I worked at this store in the late 70s and it looks so different now, as it should. I couldn't believe how long it remained it operation after the whole Sears/Kmart debacle. Especially once a Walmart opened up nearby. They should have never fired me back in the day...I could have become CEO before they merged with Sears. They were up and coming when I left, but as Tony Montana says, "Look at you now!"
ReplyDeleteIt is surprising that they kept this location for so long with Walmart across the street. This Kmart is now a Giant supermarket if I'm not mistaken.
