Kmart #3268

Once again, we are diving into another of the Wyoming Valley Kmart locations. This month we highlight the Wilkes-Barre store. This location was a former Arlan's department store that Kmart took over.

Appliances and mattresses have of course invaded electronics upon a second visit to this location

The cafe has sadly closed.
Rating: 7 out of 10.
I can't help but feel this store was cramped and hard to navigate through in some areas. There are mismatched tiles all around too. Despite that, the store has recived newer signage and was busy on both locations I visited. And for those reasons, I've given this store a 7.

In Danger of Closing?
Not likely. The store is one of Kmart's busiest locations and therefore obviously must make a profit. Having visibility from I-81 surely helps too.

    1. Sorry for the late response! I've been pretty busy.

      In regards to your question, one would have used shcrealty.com in the past. But because the website is "under construction" you can no longer do so. I made a list of the stores I've covered.

      Franklin is 94,888 sq. ft.

      Clarion is 83,552 sq. ft.
