The Forgotten Abandoned Kmart - Ashtabula, OH

The Forgotten Abandoned Kmart - Ashtabula, OH. Enjoy a look at this vintage Kmart store that closed over 30 years ago! Closed in 1992 to make way for the Super Kmart that would open at the Ashtabula Town Square mall. As to whether or not this store was ever anything else after Kmart, I would say yes but I don't know what it could have been. The facade clearly shows paint covering up letters or scars of letters from a business or businesses after Kmart closed up in 1992.

Wallie needs to visit the last New York Kmart before it closes in October 2024!

[@baconplayz2593]

The Kmart was turned into a “Domino Logistics” for a bit which explains why you saw an “S” on the front. But great find!

[@chriskoloski8881]

I remember those outside walls in my Kmart in the 80s with 4 payphones attached

[@AnotherTruth]

I love seeing some of the old markings and characteristics of an old Kmart. It reminds me of my young adulthood and childhood. I am just amazed it sat there for so long and it looks okay. I think it does look like the very old Kmart style. I remember the Changes I think around 1990 or 1991? Is that when they did their rebrand? I know when I was a child especially in the early to mid 80s. It looks so different. But this style this look looks like pre-rebranding era. I’d be interested in knowing if something else was in its place. The mold smell means it just sat there for awhile If it was used as something else. Thank you for this find

[@gavinisdie]

The building looks in great shape for being abandoned for 32 years, also, i think the reason it looks so different from your average Kmart is because it closed before/because of the Massive rebrand they did in the early ro mid 1990s

[@JKT-vo3ph]

Ashtabula is basically a crumbling ghost town.

[@MxCartney_Lou]

I’ve been going through old storage of mine, since I moved house on my own for the first time (I’m 23) and I found a package that said “Kmart Photo” I think from Bemidji, Minnesota and it brought me such strange emotions because I’ve been to Kmart in multiple locations, but didn’t get to experience the golden age of the chain…..it filed for bankruptcy for the first time in 2002, when I was 1 year old…..anyways thanks Wallie for showing love to these old relics of American people

[@12HpyPws]

KMart... popcorn and Cherry Icee when mom and grandma shop.

[@drjunior88]

This Kmart opened in 1974 and closed in 1992. It relocated the Ashtabula Town Square Mall in 1992 and became a Super Kmart around 2000. It looks like a business called Domino Logistics occupied the building after Kmart.

[@lindamikel1842]

Good awesome afternoon early video I'm going to watch every single one of newly one here later on Just getting setup for October Halloween stuff here for long.

[@wesleybruner2169]

Really cool find! Man; I wish you could have gotten in and looked around. Just something about these old buildings just takes you back to better times. You know? Great job wallie! Appreciate you putting out all of your content and asking as you do; we will co time to watch!

[@grace-point]

In 92, i was 3 years old the K-mart was closing whilst i was in Diapers 😂

[@InterstateRaziTV]

Only in Ohio 💀

[@DRNicholasJones]

I miss Kmart , Hills , K’s Merchandise , Venture etc

[@jamesirby2643]

I miss trump!

[@jodywight3948]

After K-Mart closed it was Domino Logistics. I was in there in the 2004-2006 era. It still felt like a K-Mart. Not sure when they left! The McDonalds was closed many years ago and it is in rough shape! Also, there was Tops Supermarket in the plaza that built a huge new Tops on the corner of Route 20 and West Prospect. It is now a Busy Beaver. I worked in Tops for Charter One Bank(Now Citizens Bank).

[@rickcunning]

Busy Beaver is closed and Ollie's Bargain Outlets is opening in November.

[@MTEMCA]

You should check out the old abandoned Wal-Mart in Manning, South Carolina.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Wow amazing find! I loved K Mart

[@BrianBellFr]

Love your vids Wallie, Keep it up!

[@WovenZane]

Kmart In Fairborn Ohio closed in 2014 and In December 2023 got bought and is turning it into storage sense

[@jet34thehawk]

Awesome Kmart video

[@xJC2x]

Awesome find. I saw pictures from flickr & this person took some pics from I'm assuming the same kmart. It had the name of "Domino Logistics" on the front of the building. That maybe the S you saw. It was painted white at one time with that other name.

[@theweakestlink2278]

We had a Kmart in my city that sat abandoned like this for about 15 years. It looked identical to this one. Walmart eventually tore it down and built a super center in its place.

[@crystalscan2002]

wow surprised the building is still standing wow, that building should be torn town

[@audreylonsinger2678]

1992?! Interesting find. Thanks Wallie!

[@Asher10-Abandoned-Buildings]

[@miamidadetransit9918]

Appeared to have been used by some sort of logistics company between 2008 and 2012. From what I saw on google street view.

[@jonathancreveling8699]

Opened 1974

[@suzannewillis817]

It ain't easy driving by a abandon Kmart that used to be so full of life like the one in my state so sad.

Very cool kmart! Thanks for sharing

[@tyeralexander7346]

What Kmart should of never done was bought Sears and hired Eddy Lampert to run the company

[@DalmationProductions]

More like should've never brought in Chuck Conaway in 2000 then Eddie would've never bought them out of bankruptcy

Our old K-mart in Quincy Illinois closed in 2014 or 2015 and and stayed closed until Target bought it in 2022 and remodeled the old 1972 building and Target opened up in Summer of 2023.

Wallie there’s an abandoned Walmart in Columbus

[@antiuttpprimewastaken]

It shut down on February 16th

That was a hornets nest

It was Domino Logistics back in 2012

Wallieee!!

[@lisafreeman4222]

awesome video

[@kennysechrist5128]

Great video! Our local Kmart was turned into an Aldi’s, Big lots, and O’Reily’s.

[@alexplgomez6290]

Hello Wallieb26 Abandoned Is Alex Gomez And I I Am Still Watch You On You Tube Wallieb26 Okay Please

[@Thegooglemapsperson]

I looked the history on this Kmart. After it closed, sometime in the 2000s, it was a Domino Logistics, which was then closed in 2018, according to Google maps.

[@tyeralexander7346]

This kmart looks like it's closed before Eddie Lampert took over Kmart and Sears

[@DalmationProductions]

Yes 1992 that was long before Lamepert came along

[@robertmailhos8159]

What is going on with All of those trailers in the parking lot

[@shawnsatterlee6035]

It's a "hub" for trailers I would assume. Sorta like Kraft maid by me has lots of trailers also and aren't all Kraft maid trailers.

I’ve lived here in Ashtabula for a very long time and am willing to try to help with any info on abandoned buildings if you’re interested.

[@rickcunning]

That Kmart closed the same year the Ashtabula Mall opened.

[@billfink565]

The Kmart near me was turned into a Bridgeport Equipment.

[@LucaTheIdiot36]

How come it closed in 1992?

[@DalmationProductions]

Because it was replaced by a Super Kmart which would close in 2016

[@Nomar2007_NWDE_WRESTLING]

@@DalmationProductions or that may have also been at the time where they were closing underperforming stores like the one in Flint Michigan for example which was in a absolute decaying state. that may had been at the time since they were making sweeping changes.

[@DalmationProductions]

@@Nomar2007_NWDE_WRESTLING yes although certain locations were replaced by Super Kmarts

[@XXPYR0XX]

maybe it was a fireworks store. one of the old k marts in my area turned into one for a while.

[@alanlough638]

A great find, Wallie! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I really miss shopping at Kmart.

Wallie, You should wear a mask because of the mold

Always was Kmart then was and has been used for the trailer storage. I used to get hot food from the dinner inside.

[@BrianRay-mi1dr]

I'm old enough to remember when k-marts had the diner in them and that was in the 80's

[@johnromansky6834]

I remember the old K mart close to where I grew up In N Versailles PA . They had a big neon K on a poll that would spin . I always thought that was the coolest thing.

[@TwistedELo]

This building has been abandoned for a long time since I can remember. I’ve always wanted to go into that McDonald’s. There’s also an abandoned nursing home near by here that’s on my list too.

[@jodyrayvictor]

4:22 I don't know if you can tell but that's a Kmart that had the k Cafe in the back of the store, that's what that recessed area was on the back wall

[@AmongTheUnknown]

Used to be a Domino Logistics
