Kmart #7142

A new month brings another look at a Kmart store. Continuing on in the look at the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area stores, this month features the Pittston store. This location is a former Grants and actually has two entrances!

Vintage Garden Shop still present on my visit

Took this pic for the cart message

Here's the second entrance. Apparently this store was once attached to an enclosed shopping center and this was the connection point from Grants/Kmart to it.

Note the upper left corner on this map is outdated. Apparently it was once used for the garden shop, but as you will see below, the garden shop has been moved into the store itself.

So, as always, here comes the interior tour: (We enter from the second entrance)

Former Deli/Cafe on the left

One thing to note about the following pictures is that I visited during the timeframe when the appliance takeover of electronics was occurring. Therefore I saw the following:

I assume this to be the entryway into the old garden shop

These doors had to have been added in at a later date.

The front wall of the store here actually is part of the actionway

Rating: 9 out of 10. I can't say there is much negatives here. Clean, well-stocked, and seemed quite busy when I visited. A couple of minor updates wouldn't hurt though.

In Danger of Closing?  If you had asked me last year, I would of said yes as its lease was up. But evidently Kmart must of extended their lease for them to still be in operation here.
