Doomie Goes to Kmart

[@CommodoreFan64]

It's truly a shame what has happened to this once great company, as I have many memories of K-Mart being an 80's baby.

Great video . I loved going to Kmart as a kid with my parents in the 70s. It was packed with people and so much cool stuff. The standards have really dropped since then and so have the crowds.

I really enjoyed your take on Kmart. The nearest Kmart to me as of late 2018 is nearly 6 hours away in McAllen Texas. Thankfully we still have 4 Sears locations in my area, but they are struggling to keep the shelves stocked. Eddie could have made Sears/Kmart a strong competitor, but he failed.

Another great blog I remember back in the days when Kmart head blue light special

I remember K-Mart growing up in Winnipeg in the 80’s, but it vanished from Canada like Woolco

Phenomenal job on this! Great historical data presented. I was in Kmart management for years at various stores in North Alabama during the middle 80's and 90's. Truly a great place to work back then. Fond memories and sad to see them gone now.

After the latest round of closings, the sole Kmart left in Michigan will be in Marshall, over by Battle Creek. The last two Detroit stores will be closing soon.

Nice to see this store still has a Little Caesar's inside! Sadly as for Kmart, at the speed Transform Holdco is liquidating stores, I won't be surprised if the last Kmart stores(and also Sears, too) shutter before the end of 2020 myself. At the rate they're going with closures, the last stores might shutter by no later than late spring/early summer of next year!

[@jackson5116]

They're not going to make it to the end of 2020, because in retail, the last two months of the year are when the majority of stores make their money- what's Kmart/Sears doing the last two months of this year? Liquidating most of their stores! They're going to have an absolute abysmal 2019 holiday season. I honestly don't think they're going to make it past the summer.

Jack Son Could things have been different? Or is this like Toys “R” Us

[@BoratWanksta]

@@jackson5116 I agree, that I could totally see the last Kmarts shuttering by summer 2020. Wouldn't be surprised if there were 2 final rounds of closures, and that was it for Kmart. The US ones of course, and not the more successful Kmart stores 'down under' and separate from Sears Holdings/Transformco in Australia. Since anyway, won't there only be something like(per other sources I've read on FB, and over on Discord) 60-70 Kmart stores left, as of Feburary 2020?

I miss our Kmart that went out in the Claypool hill mall

[@BoratWanksta]

Is this the Clemmons, NC Kmart? Sad to hear it's closing.

[@scottuncfan]

Great video! Truely miss Kmart.

Love that table setting at the end , shame I'm in Australia , I'd have bought it We have Kmart here and a lot of people have noticed a decline in the variety of goods in the stores as well as another chain which is Big W which I believe is owned by the Woolworth company

Nice I loved Kmart
