Inside an Abandoned K-Mart (Power still on)

[@WallieB26]

Excellent thorough video. Loved it. Got lucky with the alarm going off for awhile that you could pull off an explore. Sorry I only saw this video now. I've filmed inside a few abandoned stores including a Sears here in Pittsburgh where the alarm has been going off for years and to my knowledge is as I type up this comment. A couple others still had the power on but no alarm. Made it easier for filming since I didnt have to burn up batteries as much! Just filmed inside another Kmart yesterday here in Pa that a few others have filmed. It's been closed since 2000 and all power is cut. It's in bad shape with water damage and mold. As for other Kmarts I have filmed while they were liquidating, I was given permission to film the backrooms, etc and employee friends told me how most Kmarts are LOADED with motion sensors and that if you entered a store like this, it will only give you about 30 seconds or so to deactivate it. Doesnt matter which motion sensor was triggered. That's just a little heads up in case anyone gets any ideas to try and explore these Kmarts that still have power. Just trying to look out for ya! But anyway, awesome job. Loved the video.

The crappy audio quality makes this a lot more enjoyable. Makes it eerie in a way. Nice find my friend. -Henry

The little tiny window was in the cash room and where the safe was at. Any cashier would knock on this little window and get there money bag at start of there shift then turn it in at the end of there shift. Nobody was aloud in this room except the cash room clerk and at times as the manager I’d go in there. It was a very secured room with all kinds of cameras.

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

3:57 thats the only way to shut off the alarm, since its messed up, now you cant shut the alarm off, thats why its still on, thanks vandals

[@slackingpacking]

Lucky how you got inside. I was just here the other day. No way inside.

[@newcreation07]

Love the sound of that electrical hum

[@sweetcat1639]

Omg this place still had merchandise inside!

[@carlaouzts9907]

You took a real chance being in there, but done a real thural job showing the inside, that would have totally freaked me out. Great job 👍 Hope someone obtaines and puts this building to good use and not left until vandalized. Thanks for posting. - David

[@sweetcat1639]

I've watched a lot of abandoned Kmart videos but this is the only one where I've seen merchandise still inside the store after closing. Very impressed with you and just dropped a sub

[@UltimateManager]

Why do the lights make that noise when turning on? Also how do you turn on the main store lights?

[@christiangonzales7429]

The part where you enter the auto dept. was super eerie! Same for the stockroom part.

[@inheritthewasteland7264]

Even though the garage doors had windows, it seemed super dark with a few dark rooms that you couldn't see anything, then enter that terrible alarm noise!

[@christiangonzales7429]

@@inheritthewasteland7264 Those parts were even creepier! Honestly, if the alarm weasn't going off it would have been just plain scary because of how quiet it would have been.

creepy that the power is still on....I really miss Kmart. I wish it didn't go downhill like it did :(

[@DawgPound86]

HOLLYWOODMAFIA there’s still a few open Kmarts in my area

[@edzudzyn8963]

Instead of relishing the memories, Why don’t we support the existing store’s They have 30+ Stores remaining!!!!!

[@JosephRodriguez1991]

Gosh to me this video, felt like a classic Resident Evil game. A lone survivor going to a empty abandoned building, with alarms going off, and creepy relaxing piano playing in the background. What is that song called?

[@benjaminmendenhall3104]

Great video their is a lot more of abandoned Kmarts videos are on here and you did a great job on it

[@Prnencetti]

Yes those are security window squares that are in the wall. They were covered over when security cameras came into use.. They had those security windows and at first they had Hey telephone that would call down to a telephone on the sales floor until they came out with walkie-talkies once walkie-talkies came out that they were able to call on the walkie-talkie. Then security cameras obviously came out and they no longer needed those windows. They were built into the walls so all they had to do was just build a fake wall over the window to get rid of it and they placed a camera in place of the window. That’s how they did it in the 90s that’s all they watched over you from the window you had to pay a security guy to stay in there all day long will probably sit there all day long watching over you shoplifting Or shopping

[@inheritthewasteland7264]

Thats kinda what I assumed, interesting the progression from telephone to walkie talkie.. Thanks for the info!

[@ryanravencaller]

Probably been turned into a parking lot or a uhaul by now, but if nobody was ever dispatched odds are the alarm was left armed to detur people, but the services weren't actively subscribed, what I would give to go back to a fully open kmart with cafe oh the nostalgia 💜 thanks for the video

[@inheritthewasteland7264]

The woman I am with now, had our first date in this particular kmart cafe at age 16, in 1989... we ordered fries!

[@cameronheidelauf9623]

The only international kmart is in Australia and they are all open at all times and it's not even going to be closing down permanently at all times the Australian version of kmart's stronger than the American kmart's where closing down permanently all of it's doors

[@johnb.1750]

The audio may be bad but it was still a great find :D

[@ChesterPaulSgroi]

Wonder if it still had running water as well?

[@edzudzyn8963]

Well Done! I love Kmart! I’m pissed these Douchebags ran this American Icon in the ground!!!!!

[@crystalscan2002]

that typical kmart after few mouths just few security lights

[@danielyoung6630]

good video and noted they have power left on in variety of abandoned places like WAL-MART, MCDONALDS, AMES ETC. WONDER WHY?

[@BLAZERWILD]

They probably still have the power on for a couple different reasons. One they might still be clearing things out of the store and prepping the place for other use. Or they may still have the power on to deter crime, Such as copper theft etc. Not too many copper thieves will try and steal wire when power is still on.

[@inheritthewasteland7264]

I Think your absolutely right, it's about the crime. I noticed the parking lot lights are no longer going on, but inside the power is fine.

Watching these Kmart videos makes me miss Kmart more my Kmart which was Kmart #4353 closed in July 2020 the blame has to go to Eddie he's put these company down the hole RIP Kmart #4353 July 9 1970 - July 19 2020

[@gradymcclintock3766]

It would be funny if you turn on all the sales floor lights

[@dtaylorstephens9067]

Deb from Idaho~~~~~ The memories we all must have of K-Mart and blue light specials!!! Some one should compile a book and pics of everyone's memories from sea to shining sea! First time I saw a fat woman in polyester pants was in a K-Mart. I was probably five or six and my teenaged sister pointed her out to me. I always associated K-Mart with fat women in stretch pants after that. Weird, huh??

[@TombstoneChris]

So if the alarm was going off how did you not get in trouble wouldnt the police be alerted?

[@inheritthewasteland7264]

As I mentioned in the beginning, that alarm had been going off for weeks, and no one had come to shut it off.

[@TombstoneChris]

Sorry didn't hear that part.

Has anybody seen any Rogers grocery stores

[@TombstoneChris]

Also you could have just killed the power all you had to do is flip the breaker

[@christiangonzales7429]

You can't just pull on the switch. Those commercial breakers require you to be standing on rubber first, otherwise the end result could be deadly. Only experienced electricians can mess with those, they carry more power than your usual home breaker.

This is super heartbreaking.. if it wasn't for Eddie Lampert with his greed, these stores wouldn't have failed. Google the Stop Wall Street Looting Act that we just I introduced last week, we are trying to stop this from continuing

[@christiangonzales7429]

As long as Lampert is in charge, Sears and Kmart will continue to die. Two legendary brands that have been reduced to almost nothing.

[@anthonyroberts2678]

Kmart was falling apart in the 90's when I worked there! Lampert just made it worse!
